*'''[[S-2 Traxus Cargo Transporter]]''' - A forklift designed in [[2538]] by Traxus Heavy Industries to replace the S-1 Cargo Transporter.<ref name="ENC"/> As a cargo transport, the S-2 is simple and utilitarian in design. It includes a kill switch and a safety sensor to put an end to the personal injury lawsuits the S-1 model caused on [[Earth]], [[Tribute]] and [[Skopje]].<ref name="vis"/> Powered by propane, it is usually for lifting and transporting [[List of UNSC crates|crate]]s and boxes<ref name= "LDC">''[[Halo: Reach]]'' Legendary Developer Commentary</ref> within the weight of 5 ton.<ref name="vis"/>

The S-2 forklift was used by civilians on the planet [[Reach]], and can be seen in many locations, including the [[Visegrád Relay]], [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]] facility [[Sword Base]], [[Kiva|civilian settlements]], and the [[Asźod ship breaking yards|ship breaking yards]] in [[Asźod]].<ref name="reach"/> S-2s are also in the [[New Mombasa]] [[New Mombasa Data Center|Data Center]].<ref>''Halo 3: ODST'', campaign level, [[Data Hive]]</ref> During the Battle of Earth, the S-2 was used by [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] to organize various objects in the [[military base]] [[Crow's Nest]].<ref>''Halo 3'', campaign level, [[Crow's Nest]]</ref> Numerous S-2s were abandoned in [[Traxus Factory Complex 09]] during the [[Battle of Voi]].<ref>''Halo 3'', campaign level, [[The Storm]]</ref>

During colonial rebuilding efforts in the years immediately following the Human-Covenant war, Traxus introduced the lighter "SL" range of their cargo transporters and found enormous commercial success. The SL-4 model became a favorite among businesses large and small across dozens of colonial worlds.<ref name="glassed"/>

Along with other civilian vehicles, the Forklift was made drivable by the player in ''Halo: Reach'' and appears in several campaign levels as well as the [[Firefight]] map ''[[Courtyard]]''. However, it is much slower than in all the other game's vehicles, and lacks the speed to even splatter a Grunt.<ref name="IGN">[http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/110/1108506p1.html ''IGN'': Halo: Reach and the Forklift]</ref><ref>''[[Halo Waypoint]]''</ref> The only exception to this when if the enemy in question is [[Armor Ability#Sprint|sprinting]] or charging, otherwise they will merely be pushed aside.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yx_U98h_5ok ''YouTube'': Forklifts Never Die!]</ref> This slow speed, coupled with its exposed canopy and lack of any kind of weapons makes the vehicle largely useless in gameplay. However, it is extremely explosive and, when positioned properly, can act as a player-placed fusion coil within the campaign - an aspect which can be taken advantage of. Weapons like the [[Type-50 Directed Energy Rifle/Heavy|Concussion Rifle]] are also able to push it around, making it into its own projectile. The Forklift in ''Halo: Reach'' originally had the ability to raise and lower, but it was cut due to being "crazy and pointless",<ref name="IGN"/> more specifically, it had a physics glitch that would launch models in a high speed and height.<ref name= "LDC"/> It was also planned to be featured in Forge, but was cut.{{Citation needed}}
