Abstract: A carrier for supporting a metallurgical vessel during a cleaning process of the vessel includes a base, a pallet, and a cradle. The base has a longitudinal axis along a length of the base. The pallet is coupled to the base between (i) a first position where a longitudinal axis of the pallet is at a first angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the base, and (ii) a second position where the longitudinal axis of the pallet is at a second angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the base, the second angle greater than the first angle. The cradle is disposed at the pallet and supports the vessel when positioned at the carrier for the cleaning process. Pivoting the pallet between the first position and the second position adjusts an angle of the longitudinal axis of the vessel relative to the longitudinal axis of the base.
