The Small Transport Truck, also known as the All-Terrain Rock Mover or just Transport Truck, is a small vehicle used for speedy transportation. It is a small, four-wheeled vehicle, equipped with a Cargo Hold that can dump its contents. It has a single seat for a driver, though some media has shown a passenger riding in the cargo hold. Although the vehicle was not featured in its own set, it does appear in the set 4990 Rock Raiders HQ. It does not appear at all in the PlayStation game.

In the Windows version of LEGO Rock Raiders, the Small Transport Truck is classified as a small vehicle, and requires two Energy Crystals for power. A Rock Raider must be trained as a driver to use a Small Transport Truck.

Without upgrades, this vehicle can travel at a brisk 2 blocks per second, and can carry up to three Energy Crystals or pieces of LEGO Ore. It can also carry a single Electric Fence. It cannot, however, carry drained Energy Crystals, and won't carry Building Studs without being instructed to by the player.

Although the Small Transport Truck is a very useful vehicle, it can be problematic with building, as it often delivers more materials than required, preventing the building from being completed until the extra materials are removed, which Rock Raiders often don't recognize[verify]what exactly causes them to and not to?. This can be easily remedied, however, by building an Ore Refinery, preventing them from taking Ore anywhere but there, though this bug will still occur with Energy Crystals.
