cargos

Holds' heavy loads

Cargos is the plural of cargo—goods transported by ship, plane, truck, or train.

Both cargos and cargoes are standard plurals, with cargoes more common in British English.

The ship carried cargos of grain and machinery.

Cargos also appears as shorthand for cargo pants or cargo shorts—garments with large utility pockets on the legs.
