Why is it masculine?

Chargeur is masculine because it is an agent noun formed with the suffix "-eur" (one who charges/loads). In French, agent nouns with the "-eur" suffix are typically masculine by default, especially for occupational or instrumental nouns. The word derives from the verb "charger" (to load/charge), and this masculine gender is the standard pattern for -eur agent nouns in French, regardless of the gender of related nouns like "charge" (feminine).
