The R-5 “Atlas” Hauler can be stored in a Storage Depot, Seaport or Storage Ship.
It can be packaged into a large Shippable and transported only by certain Shipping Vehicles (Barge, Freighter, Flatbed Car, Storage Ship). It can be lifted by any crane but only a Large Crane can undeploy and move while holding it.
The Crates of R-5 “Atlas” Hauler produced by Mass Production Factories can be packaged and transported by any Shipping Vehicle then submitted to a Storage Depot or Seaport to be stored and unpacked.
The R-5 “Atlas” Hauler is a vehicle whose sole purpose is to transport raw resources from one destination to another. During early-game, they are extremely useful, however this usefulness gets diminished as more logistical infrastructure is built, and larger carrying vehicles, like Flatbed Trucks, are more widely available. Despite these downsides, they are perfect for quickly transporting resources from one point to another. This comes in handy with simple facilities, where cranes and small trains are not built.
While trucks should be stored within a Seaport or Storage Depot, if you do not plan on storing it there, then make sure it is behind defenses with AI, as parking them in front will block their line of sight, making them unable to shoot targets.
