Limited weight for transporter

In this warehouse model I wanted to make a code the transporter maximum Weight is 5. I have implemented a label called "Weight", for each item has its specific weight in source. I wanted to limit the transporter to transport only 5 kg weight. If there is 2 kg and 3 kg it can take both of them and transport them. i would prefer it with a code.

I set all the racks in your model to push their containers to a list, then in process flow I find the closest item that has a weight below the transporters weight limit, then if it still has room I tell it to check again to see if it can fit anything else on, then it goes and picks them up.
