The crawler transporters and mobile launch platforms deserved an episode of their own. Many people conflate the two, but the crawlers carry the launch platforms with the launch vehicles between the VAB and the launch site. The crawlers would leave the platform behind during the launch attempts and return afterwards.
The crawlers were used for Apollo, STS, Constellation and will be used for SLS
