No, I think you should use one polarity switch, without handle to greatly reduce
the friction needed to throw it. Putting the crate on the conveyor throws the
switch, and when the crate gets to the other end it could push a lever, or
better still use it's weight, to physically move a linkage that switches the
original switch off. Like an old-fashioned railway signal box.

The linkage could be made of long technic axles.

I agree the simplest solution is to use a single switch with one linkage
operated by the forklift to switch it on, and another linkage operated by the
falling crate, that switches it back off, ready for the forklift.
