TraXion Creeper
TraXion Creepers: Engineered for the Professional Mechanic
When it comes to shop tools that genuinely make a technician's job easier, TraXion Engineered Products stands in a category of its own. The company has built its reputation around solving real problems in the garage — and nowhere is that engineering philosophy more evident than in their lineup of mechanic's creepers. From classic under-vehicle crawlers to innovative topside designs, TraXion's creepers are conceived and rigorously tested with the working professional in mind.
Under-Vehicle Creepers: The King Crawler & ProGear WideBody
TraXion's flagship floor creeper is the King Crawler. With a length of 40 inches and a patented full-freedom X-frame design, the King Crawler offers unparalleled mobility and maneuverability. The frame is completely concealed, minimizing interference while maximizing mobility, while four giant 5-inch casters provide excellent movement on any surface. The high-gloss padded deck is built to be durable and easy to clean — a practical detail that serious mechanics appreciate.
For technicians who need extra room to work, the ProGear WideBody Creeper addresses a common ergonomic complaint. The wide body drop deck is designed to eliminate torso pinch points, and the contoured deck is extra wide with built-in lumbar support, providing superior comfort and reducing fatigue. With its huge 5-inch casters, the WideBody glides smoothly over rough or uneven surfaces — making it equally at home in a busy commercial shop or a home garage.
Topside Creepers: A TraXion Specialty
TraXion has become particularly well known for their topside creeper designs — a category that lets technicians work over the engine compartment rather than underneath it. The Original Topside Creeper is constructed of heavy-gauge steel with a powder coat finish, with a deck that is padded and covered with heavy vinyl for maximum comfort and durability. This innovative design allows for extended periods of time bending over the engine without the effect of painful fatigue, and the adjustable height allows use on many different types of vehicles.
The upgraded ProGear Topside Creeper takes this concept further. It boasts a fully padded frame with a replaceable, padded upholstery cover secured using Velcro, and the upholstered cover slides over a sling instead of a hard plywood deck, which improves comfort, reduces weight, and makes replacing the deck much easier. Most impressively, its innovative I-Base design allows for more flexible positioning around the vehicle, enabling technicians to reach 40 percent more area around the front of most vehicles and equipment.
The latest iteration, the Topside Creeper NXT, refines the formula further. Height adjusts from a minimum of 48 inches to a maximum of 64 inches, providing more height adjustment points than all previous models, and the I-Base design provides more flexible positioning around the vehicle and other equipment. It also folds flat for compact storage when not in use — a thoughtful touch for shops where space is at a premium.
