Morphology

transporter = transport (transparent) = transport + er

Agent/instrument noun formed from the verb 'transport'; the meaning 'machine or device that moves objects' follows directly from the base plus '-er'.

Etymology

Transporter comes from trans- 'across' and port 'to carry', the same root as transport and portable. So a transporter is a machine or device that 'carries across', like a conveyor belt or crane that moves boxes and packages along a line.
