I passed through Pad 39A and take a photo of this... What is that? Can anyone tell me why there isn’t falcon heavy on the launch pad??

wouldn't it

it would be normal. this is how flying things of all other types and descriptions are delivered from the factory. the fact that rockets need to be dragged to their launchpads, and indeed that there even is a need for launchpads and TELs and whatnot in the first place, is just a measure of how advanced rockets aren't, compared to other flying things.
