SRT autonomous short-range transport

The Short Range Transport, otherwise known as the SRT droid or forklift droid, was a repulsorlift labor droid used to carry bulk cargo in large industrial areas such as droid factories.

The SRT droid was comprised of a dome-like head and a bulky body fitted with a set of heavy lifting arms and a pair of multiple-joint lifting arms. The durasteel heavy arms were capped with restraining forks, and kept cargo secure. The upper, jointed arms were used for precise work, such as basic maintenance and clearing production lines of obstructions. The droid's repulsor drive was housed in its tail unit.

SRT droids were employed in the droid factories on Geonosis. C-3PO encountered one prior to the Battle of Geonosis, though the SRT saw the protocol droid as little more than an obstruction and deftly removed him from the vicinity&mdash;causing C-3PO to fall unceremoniously onto a conveyor belt below.
