FAQs
What is the weight capacity of this creeper?
The Draper Mechanics Creeper has a maximum weight capacity of 181kg.
How do I clean the padded surface?
The padded surface has an oil and solvent-resistant cover. Clean it with a damp cloth, or use mild soap and water for tougher stains. Wipe dry afterwards.
Are the caster wheels replaceable?
While not explicitly stated as user-replaceable in all configurations, if a caster is damaged, contact the manufacturer or retailer for potential replacement parts or repair options.
Can the magnetic tool trays hold non-magnetic items?
No, the magnetic trays are designed to hold ferrous metal tools and hardware. Non-magnetic items will not adhere to them.
What is the material of the creeper body?
The creeper body is constructed from high-impact resistant, high-density polyethylene (HDPE).
Is assembly required?
The creeper typically requires minimal or no assembly. Please check the product manual for specific details, but often casters may need to be attached.
How is this creeper for storing?
It features a built-in carry handle, which aids in moving and storing the creeper compactly when not in use.
Troubleshooting
Caster wheels are stiff or difficult to turn
Check for debris or hair wrapped around the caster axles. Clean the wheels and axles thoroughly. Ensure casters are properly seated in their sockets.
Magnetic tool trays are not holding tools securely
Ensure the tools being placed are magnetic. Clean any dust or debris from the surface of the magnetic trays and the tools. For very heavy items, use the integrated storage with caution.
Padding feels uncomfortable after extended use
While the EVA foam provides comfort, consider using an additional thin foam mat or cushion if more padding is required for exceptionally long working sessions.
Creeper seems unstable
Ensure the creeper is on a flat, level surface. Check that the weight capacity (181kg) is not exceeded and that the weight is distributed evenly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Draper Mechanics Creeper typically comes fully assembled or with minimal assembly required (e.g., attaching casters if not pre-installed). Refer to the product manual for specific instructions. Ensure all components are securely fastened before first use.
Compatibility: This creeper is designed for use on smooth, flat workshop floors. It is compatible with most standard vehicles, allowing access to the undercarriage for maintenance and repair.
Care: To maintain the creeper, regularly clean the HDPE body and the padded surface with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains or spills, use mild soap and water.

Store in a dry area away from direct sunlight to preserve material integrity.
