I believe the answer is:

dray

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'heavy load carrier back' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'from the yard' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates anagramming the letters (from the letters).
'yard' is an anagram of 'DRAY'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dray that I've seen before include "delivery vehicle" , "Draught horse" , "Cart used for heavy loads" , "Cart without sides, for delivering barrels" , "Low truck" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
