This may be the case, but if so, it seems more than a little short-sighted to design conveyors to be incapable of carrying a weight that a reasonably healthy adult male can lift easily.
Especially for products like fresh meat which can be very dense and highly variable in weight. (My example was a load of fresh packaged meat.)
So, you might be right, but if so, it just means they were stupid in a different way, LOL.
When I worked for Michelin in Lexington, SC. I picked up and transferred 50-100 lb mylar and cloth rolls from a pallet and installed them on rewinding machines continuously for entire shifts for a few months.
For a fit young man, or even a strong young woman, 70 lb lifts are a joke.
If the heaviest thing you lift regularly is a 12-pack of Mountain Dew, then perhaps it might be a strain.
If it was a DC then it is more likely that the conveyor's wont support that weight. I say this as a maintenance tech at a DC myself.

70 pounds is not something easily lifted, especially onto conveyor belt and en masse. try doing that for 8 hours and you will quit after one day.
