5. The remote manhole cleaning and coating system of claim 4 , further comprising a motor and a pump assembly that rests on the bed adjacent to the control and mixing assembly.
6. The remote manhole cleaning and coating system of claim 5 , further comprising a second storage tank that rests on the bed adjacent to the motor and the pump assembly.
7. The remote manhole cleaning and coating system of claim 6 , further comprising a first storage bin that rests on the bed adjacent to the second storage tank.
8. The remote manhole cleaning and coating system of claim 1 , further comprising a pair of ground engaging elements connected to the rear portion of the trailer.
9. The remote manhole cleaning and coating system of claim 1 , wherein the first end of the main bracket is pivotally attached to a rear end of the trailer.
10. The remote manhole cleaning and coating system of claim 1 , where the manhole cleaning and coating assembly is in a vertical position when in the operating position and a horizontal position when in the stowed position.
11. A remote manhole cleaning and coating system to clean and coat an interior of a manhole, comprising:
a trailer having a bed;
a pair of main brackets each having a first end pivotally connected to a rear portion of the trailer, wherein the pair of main brackets have a stowed position and an operating position, wherein pair of main brackets extend outwardly from the rear portion of the trailer when in the operating position and wherein the pair of main brackets extend upwardly when in the stowed position;
a first actuator having a first end pivotally connected to the trailer and a second end pivotally connected to one of the pair of main brackets, wherein the first actuator is adapted to move the pair of main brackets from the stowed position to the operating position;
a mounting bracket pivotally connected to a second end of the pair of main brackets, wherein the second end of the pair of main brackets is opposite of the first end of the pair of main brackets;
a second actuator having a first end pivotally connected to one of the pair of main brackets and a second end pivotally connected to the mounting bracket, wherein the second actuator is adapted to move the mounting bracket from a stowed position to an operating position; and
a manhole cleaning and coating assembly that is connected to the mounting bracket, wherein the pair of main brackets move the manhole cleaning and coating assembly between a stowed position for transport and an operating position for remote cleaning and coating of the manhole.
12. The remote manhole cleaning and coating system of claim 11 , wherein the trailer includes a front hitch portion.
13. The remote manhole cleaning and coating system of claim 11 , further comprising a first storage tank that rests on the bed.
14. The remote manhole cleaning and coating system of claim 13 , further comprising a control and mixing assembly that rests on the bed adjacent to the first storage tank.
15. The remote manhole cleaning and coating system of claim 14 , further comprising a motor and a pump assembly that rests on the bed adjacent to the control and mixing assembly.
16. The remote manhole cleaning and coating system of claim 15 , further comprising a second storage tank that rests on the bed adjacent to the motor and the pump assembly.
17. The remote manhole cleaning and coating system of claim 16 , further comprising a first storage bin that rests on the bed adjacent to the second storage tank.
18. The remote manhole cleaning and coating system of claim 11 , further comprising a pair of ground engaging elements connected to the rear portion of the trailer.
19. The remote manhole cleaning and coating system of claim 11 , wherein the first end of each of the pair of main brackets are pivotally attached to a rear end of the trailer.
20. The remote manhole cleaning and coating system of claim 11 , where the manhole cleaning and coating assembly is in a vertical position when in the operating position and a horizontal position when in the stowed position.
