Load-lifter arm

Load-lifter arms were a type of cybernetic limb that greatly enhanced the users strength. The Abednedo scavenger Roodown had a pair of aftermarket load-lifter arms installed after his organic limbs were cut off by thugs working for the junk dealer Unkar Plutt. His new limbs prevented him from continuing work as a scavenger, but allowed him to work as a strongback and enforcer-for-hire around Niima Outpost on the planet Jakku.

Behind the scenes
Load-lifter arms first appeared in the film Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens, which was released in 2015. The film did not identify the devices, but they were named by Star Wars: The Force Awakens: The Visual Dictionary, a reference book written by Pablo Hidalgo and released in conjunction with the film.
