Manual labour requires a lot of skill and by 30+ you need to acquire it or you’ll destroy your body. There are jobs that require only a few hours of learning but they rarely are intensive, just extremely boring.
There are definitely manual labour jobs that require little to no skill, a lot of site labourer work is like that. Carrying wallboard, emptying bins, just generally carrying shit around.
Don’t know where do you live, but around here there is no construction jobs that only require you only to carry shit around. Also you need to learn a lot to carry shit around correctly unless you have spare back.
I think they are called handyman in english, and it’s an extremely hard and shitty job that doesn’t require a lot of learning, true, it does require skill to do it properly and efficiently, and in way that won’t leave you invalid by 40. Good handymen often learn other skills and obtain ‘real’ profession, so it’s more like a starter point of a career for many.

In Quebec they’re called “journaliers” and being assigned to the Mason as a “journalier” sucks big time.
It’s the entry level position in construction for people who didn’t get a professional degree in a specific trade.

Glad to be enlightened, clearly this doesn’t happen, since you haven’t experienced it.
Big construction sites where I live definitely have such people, and it’s a horrible job.
