"Vaporators! Sir, my first job was programming binary loadlifters—very similar to your vaporators in most respects."
―C-3PO, to Owen Lars[7]

Binary loadlifters,[7] also called Heavy-lifter droids,[6] were a type of labor droids that were used to lift heavy loads. The binary programming language of those droids was similar to that of moisture vaporators.[7] CLL-M2 binary loadlifters were a model of Binary loadlifter[8] in the CLL-series,[9] while Type II loadlifter droids were frauds, being repurposed demolition droids prone to violence. Late in the Clone Wars, Rafa Martez was hired by Lokann and his business partner to build the Type II loadlifter droids. The work was done by Rafa's sister Trace and her new friend Ahsoka Tano, who eventually realized the danger of the droids. One of the droids went on a rampage through Level 1313 after Trace forgot to put a restraining bolt on it before activating it, leading her and Tano to have to chase it down.[1] Other types of binary loadlifters known as the CCLs were operated in Facility 301G part of the Santhe Shipyards that were secretly owned by the forces of Morgan Elsbeth.[5] The First Order used heavy-lifer droids to carry equipment, often with the help of stormtrooper cadets.[6]
