You can add the circuit forklifts to a groupt and reference that in your 'transport' resource. Assign the acquired transport to a label and use that for the taskexecuter reference rather than 'Transporter2'.

You'll find some issues with your approach - by closing and opening the node edge you will release all transports at one to travel to NN1 (loop) and so instead of this you might want to only issue that travel task at the last station.

You can also consider using the AGV module.
