its been shown on multiple occasions throughout the series that it takes a lot of mental and physical stress to use the Force... think back to Yoda training Luke on Dagobah and when he saved Obi and Ani in ATOC; even for him it took a fair amount of concentration and in the latter example physical strain to lift heavy objects. A Human isn't nearly as heavy as an X Wing but it'd still be easier to throw a tool box than a person especially if the person struggling makes it harder; think of it as if you were picking them up with your own hands; dead weight and struggling weight are much harder to pick up in regards to a human body than say lifting up a couch
