B-U4D (Buford) in the Databank (backup link) states that heavy loader droids are 1.75 meters tall. Star Wars: The Visual Encyclopedia states that heavy loader droids are fifth class droids. As B-R72 is depicted as a heavy loader droid in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, it must also share these characteristics.
