Can anyone advice on a scenario where two delivery men are being required to manually deliver a range cooker (circa 160kg) to private premises. The product is palletised to the entry door (front or back) and then in certain circumstances it needs to be lifted into the property. How do the regs cover this? Can anyone recommend a stable,solid sack barrow? Any advice would be gratefully received.

In a situation like this, both the HSE and your insurers would expect you to have a well thought-through analysis to support your risk assessment. A key component of that analysis is involvement of the people at risk and the conduct of trials.
Have you been to the "usual suspects" for bits of kit like trolleys? Vendors like Slingsbys, Kaiser and Kraft (to name but the first two that spring to mind - other vendors are available/no commercial connection etc...!). Their catalogues are very helpful picture books to use in discussion with the guys who actually do the task. None of the non-powered kit is expensive and it's worth getting some bits for your guys to try out in practice, after consulting them.
Don't just look at trolleys though, I suspect that the simple dolly (board with casters) may be as useful as anything based on experience elsewhere. Furniture removers have chunky versions for moving pianos for example.
If all this sounds a bit like trial and error, well it is, but it's directed trials not random shots in the dark. Keep good records of meetings with your guys (pros and cons of what they have tried etc.) and as much supporting information as you can because you're right; superficially this task looks like a no-no in terms of weight etc. so you need to be able to produce the evidence to justify your position.

Drop me a note if you want to discuss further. (If you can work out how to do it on this new format!)
