Dear Paula Please find HSE MAC tool; the guidelines outlined in it suggest that if the weight of the load is above 85 kg for a 2-person lift then the load presents a serious risk of injury to employees regardless of the frequency of handling. If loads are being manually handled during the deliveries and within the warehouse then employees will be exposed to a very high risk of musculoskeletal injury. Not sure this is helpful - it might give you an authoritative steer!
