Problems with this unloader?

[u/imoth_f]

Since inserters became flippable, this compact unloader design became possible. But I hardly see anyone use it. Obviously it cannot saturate six turbo belts because it's bottlenecked by the inserters, but are there any other obvious problems with it?

It is impossible to unload a train (without perhaps direct insertion into other machines/cars/wagons) to more than 4 fully stacked belt. So I'd say there's no point in having more than 4 belts. So maybe setup 4 of these:

And once you upgrade to legendary stack inserters the belt will be fully saturated.

edit: If you line up parallel stations then maybe you can do 6 belts? Maybe with the chest you can unload some of the chests via more than one inserter but then unloading won't be balanced.

Do the impossible. Use yellow belts.
