You can refuse. Your employer may be so afraid of on-the-job injuries that they will get someone else to lift the boxes, or they may fire you for refusing to lift them. What you need is documentation from a doctor to specify how much weight you can lift. Pregnant women and people recovering from injuries should not be lifting heavy boxes, but some employers are less scrupulous on this issue than others.
