drays

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

'they take heavy loads' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adverb but the answer is not.

'different yards' is the wordplay.
'different' indicates anagramming the letters.
'yards' anagrammed gives 'DRAYS'.

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
