搬 combines the hand radical 扌 with 般 (a phonetic that also hints at “moving things along”). Picture hands shifting a load from place to place—perfect for “carry / transport.”
Think of 運搬(うんぱん)—workers carrying boxes off a truck into a shop. The “hand” on the left does the work; the right side supplies the motion. Whenever you see goods being moved, 搬 is the character doing the heavy lifting.
