A device for allowing work to be carried out on or about an object includes a gripping arrangement having a gripping portion which is pivotally and rotatably coupled to another gripping portion by way of a manipulatable arm arrangement. The arrangement includes multiple arm segments that are pivotable and/or rotatable with respect to one another and which have grappling legs being movable between a closed position and an open position for respectively securing the gripping portion to and releasing the gripping portion from the object. A controller controls the device allowing it to traverse the object using the gripping portions. A drive means is operable to both drive the device along the object as well as drive a detached portion of the object through a gripping portion when the grappling legs are in the closed position.
