Sometimes things really aren’t that heavy, but they’re difficult to carry because they’re awkward. The weight is distributed unevenly. Warning others who may be handling it is just basic safety.
Doesn't even have to be weight distribution. It's much easier to deadlift/clean something with a centered handle you cannot throw off balance than the same weight in something shaped even like a grabbable cube, let alone something large or uneven.
The quintessential example is a limp body. You could be strong enough to lift their weight over head in weights form, but as soon as it's a long sack of potatoes it can even be a struggle to get it on a shoulder.
Or just too large to grip.
Yup, big weird objects. Like I literally just need a second person to hold the other end. Zero muscles required.
