http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/indg143.pdf should provide some guidance for you.

it's 25 kg each person

bu that is only the recommended maximum, the actual amount you should lift is determined by lots of other factors, such as the individual, the enviroment the task the load etc etc there should be a risk assessment before manual handling takes place
