Abstract
The system and method permits the use of equipment that is located exterior to a container, such as a tank container liquid hydrocarbon material within which a sludge deposit has accumulated, and then inserted, as through an access opening in the side of the tank. In addition to other innovations, an improved hydraulic equipment positioning arrangement is provided, for both positioning, inserting and withdrawing the conduit structure and end effectors for accessing the sludge or sediment, which may include a leveling element preferably in the form of an hydraulic system that operates to move the assembly in a vertical plane as well as a rotary driven hydraulic system for driving the conduit structure along a long axis.
