Re: World's Lightest Ramps
Depends how loosely you define a ramp.
If your goal is to just get the totes to land correctly, all it takes is a sheet of some slick material in front of the chute to get the totes to land properly. The reduced friction against the edge allows the tote to just slide forward and land on its bottom rather than rotate about its edge and land on its front.
A 1/16 sheet of polycarb works really well. The only issue is that it'll slide around, so attaching some high grip material/tread to the bottom prevents it from moving too easily.
