That is one reason I plan to go to horizontal hives. The Langstroth supers get too heavy when full. I've helped my brother with his hives over the years and after back surgery and nerve issues the weight gets to be too much. I hope to put out some traps and get a couple horizontal hives next year. Building a house this year takes too much of my time.
Half my customers are older folks who still want to beekeep, but want to do it in a way they physically can. Also since these boxes are built with insulation in them, and entrance reducers... You don't need to get anything else. No more supers, no more frames, no insulation blankets, no entrance reducers... Etc.
