Robotic Tracked Crawler

This track mounted, remotely controlled, submersible, self propelled dredging unit is ideal for applications in hard to access tanks and pits. This unit was designed for explosion proofing in tank operations with rubber cleats, and stainless steel and aluminum fabrication to eliminate sparking. Pump options include a LWT model 950 chopper pump for slurries (for API separators or municipal sewage digesters) or a piston pump (viscous crude oil sludges in petroleum storage tanks). The unit has 12 volt electronic, hand held, joy stick controls for track steering, direction and track speed. The pump speed, as well as auger/cutter head direction and speed, are electronically controlled by potentiometers. The ROBOTIC CRAWLER unit is powered by a diesel or electric powered hydraulic unit. The hydraulic flow is supplied to the track unit through a self contained bundled hose set.

The LWT PIT HOG™ ROBOTIC CRAWLER has sufficient traction and power to pull the hydraulic supply and the non-collapsible discharge hose. The hydraulic hose and discharge hose is controlled by the powered hose reel included with the system. The hydraulic and discharge hoses never have to be removed from the reel, as the hydraulic flow and slurry runs through swivels built into the hose reel.
