Are they meant to be stored in the rack as a pallet of 5? There are no pallets of boxes in your model.

Please try it on your own, if a larger entry transfer on a side or many entry transfers on a side are doing what you want.

Moving an entry transfer to a side

Expanding the Range

An entry transfer takes into account the size of a transferred item and block an entry of another item until the item in transfer has left. Many entry transfers on a side with gaps between them will put simultaneously items on the conveyor because each item has enough space. This works well as long as enough space is involved for each gap.

Maybe an expanded entry transfer will works as well.
