We order 75 lb computer UPS's on a regular basis. Probably almost 50% of these were getting damaged by UPS in transit. The UPS's aren't packed in the best packaging in the world, so if they get dropped from any height they break.
UPS doesn't use heavy equipment for handling packages unless it is freight (over 150 lbs). Anything over 70 lbs is supposed to be picked up by 2 people but that almost never happens. When the truck gets to the sorting facility the unloaders climb aboard and start slinging packages.
