To stack at the feeder station you need to lift them considerably higher than the usual of about 13-14"

If designed properly, perhaps 16" would be enough. As long as the bottom tote just sits at the bottom and you only lift totes 2-6, you just need it to clear the chute- which is doable with 13-14" if you raise the bottom tote a bit, or just 16"ish.
