Etymology
搬 combines 扌 (hand) with 般, which likely contributes the sound ハン and the idea of moving or turning something. The exact historical development of 般 is uncertain, but the compound suggests carrying by hand.
Meaning mnemonic
The hand radical 扌 beside 般 (which looks like a boat 舟 with a tool 殳) suggests a hand loading cargo onto a boat for transport.
Reading mnemonic
For ハン, imagine a hand carrying a heavy ham: ham -> ハン, and the hand transports it.
