ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The invention relates to an apparatus with self- displacing means for its advance in the interior of a duct for remote inspection and/or treatment. The apparatus comprises a plurality of elements coupled to one another so as to make up a train each element of which constitutes a waggon independent of the other elements and inter- changeable at will, each element fulfilling a definite function and being of a length adapted for the curves to be taken, at least one of said elements constituting a displacing element and advantageously another one of the said elements constituting an element for operating the displacing element. At least one element is a holding element including holding means bearing selectively upon the internal wall of the duct, whereas the displacing element preferably is a puller-pusher element. The apparatus is supplied with electric power and with compressed-air through a cable and a compressed- air conduit, respectively. The apparatus has considerable tractive force reaching 3 tons and can cover a distance of 2 kilometers.
