loader

Dock worker type

A loader is a person or machine that loads things—cargo onto trucks, ammunition into weapons, data into computer memory.

In computing, a loader is software that transfers programs into memory for execution.

Front-end loaders are heavy construction equipment with a bucket for moving earth or materials.

The warehouse hired extra loaders for the holiday rush.
