      HEAVY

      gravis refers to great weight, but the word is also used figuratively for something intense or burdensome.

      onerosus "burdensome" is more abstract and refers to anything that is literally or figuratively hard to bear.

      onerarius refers to anything that is designed for a heavy load, like a ship or carriage.
