How it's used
Focuses on the physical act of removing cargo from a vehicle or container. While it can be used metaphorically for burdens, it is most commonly encountered in logistics or manual labor contexts. It carries a slightly more formal or technical tone compared to simply using 放低.
Examples
The truck driver unloaded the cargo at the pier.
