An E-B loader droid is seen during the Imperial Era
Loader droids, also known as loadlifters or hauler droids, constituted a specific category of industrial droids designed for the purpose of elevating and offloading substantial loads.
The Imperial mining moon referred to as Cynda utilized a number of loader droids. Count Denetrius Vidian implemented several modifications to the programming of these droids to improve their operational efficiency.
The E-B load lifter represented one particular model of loader droid. A hauler droid named TRK-R operated within a settlement located on the ocean planet of Serelia, employing a landspeeder to transport goods from the docking area. TRK-R asserted its superiority as a hauler droid in the settlement, despite a past incident where it failed to deliver a shipment of fish from the local Verla to the marketplace before the fish deteriorated.
The government of Plazir-15 obtained a significant quantity of B2-series super battle droids and reassigned them to perform civilian tasks, with a considerable portion being utilized as loader droids.
The existence of loader droids was initially established within the pages of the novel A New Dawn and its associated audiobook version, both of which were made available on September 2, 2014. The visual debut of loader droids occurred in the third episode of the television series Obi-Wan Kenobi, which was broadcast on June 1, 2022.
