Star Wars - Sandcrawler as 3D large model

Sandcrawlers, originally called digger crawlers, were huge mobile fortresses used by the Jawas as their transport and shelter in the deserts of Tatooine and Arvala-7. They were equipped with a magnetic suction tube for sucking droids and scrap into the cargo hold. They also contained cargo holds, scrap-processing facilities and quarters for crew and passengers.They were large enough to fit an entire Jawa clan.

Built by the Corellia Mining Corporation as massive mobile mining and smelting facilities, sandcrawlers appear to be treaded boxes that towers some 20 meters above the surrounding landscape. It possessed a triangular front that holds the cockpit. Corellian Mining intended the vehicles to serve as semi-autonomous mining operations on rough frontier worlds. Their primitive but reliable nuclear fusion steam reactors and multiple treads ensure they seldom break down, and their weight and armor means they can survive the harshest environments.

Sandcrawlers are robust and customizable enough that they can be found all across the galaxy and are put to uses they were not originally designed for. For example, on the desert planet of Tatooine, many sandcrawlers have been left behind by various mining consortiums over the years, only to be salvaged and repurposed by nomadic Jawa clans. Now Jawas roam the wastes of Tatooine looking for scrap for selling and trading to moisture farmers and nomads

For the Jawas, sandcrawlers functioned as transportation as well as shelter from the harsh desert environment. They were commonly used as part of scavenging operations and contained large cargo holds capable of holding 1,500 droids at a time. Magnetic suction tubes allowed the Jawas to quickly suck droids and pieces of scrap into the holds.[5] Inside the Sandcrawler, Jawas typically utilized the reactor to melt down scrap metal and droids.
