Forklift

S-2 Forklift The S-2 Traxus Cargo Transporter, commonly referred to as the Forklift, is a civilian vehicle used by Traxus Heavy Industries.

Design details
As a cargo transport, the S-2 is simple and utilitarian in design. It is usually for lifting and transporting crates and boxes. Throughout Halo 3, however, it was never seen doing its duty, as its civilian operators had either evacuated or were killed by the Covenant.

Production notes
In Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST, it is a scenery item. It can be found on many levels, both in campaign and multiplayer, and is a Forge object.

Along with other civilian vehicles, the Forklift was made drivable by the player in Halo: Reach. When driven, the Forklift can only travel fast enough to splatter an Unggoy. This, coupled with its lack of any kind of defense capability, makes the vehicle largely useless in gameplay. However, it is extremely explosive and, when positioned properly can it can act as a player placed fusion coil within the campaign - an aspect which can be taken advantage of. Like in Halo 3, the Forklift is also a Forge object in the game.

The Forklift in Halo: Reach originally had the ability to raise and lower, but it was cut due to being "crazy and pointless".
