An E-B loader droid is shown during the Imperial Era
Within the realm of industrial droids, one could find loader droids, also referred to as loadlifters or hauler droids, designed specifically for the purpose of elevating and offloading substantial cargo.
The Imperial mining moon known as Cynda was home to a number of loader droids. Count Denetrius Vidian implemented modifications to their internal programming with the goal of boosting their operational output.
One specific model of loader droid was the E-B load lifter. A hauler droid named TRK-R operated within a settlement situated on the ocean planet called Serelia, utilizing a landspeeder to transport goods from the docking area. It asserted its superiority as the settlement's premier hauler droid, despite a past incident where it failed to deliver a fish catch from the local Verla to the marketplace before the fish decayed.
The Plazir-15's government obtained a significant quantity of B2-series super battle droids and repurposed them for civilian tasks, with a considerable portion being employed as loader droids.
The initial mention of loader droids occurred in the novel A New Dawn along with its audiobook version, both of which debuted on September 2, 2014. Loader droids made their visual debut in the third episode of the television series Obi-Wan Kenobi, which was broadcasted on June 1, 2022.
