There is actually, creeper with steel wheels and a sloped concrete floor LOL ! Well, I've dealt with it here as needed, not all that bad, just the fact that you are on your back, and if it was easy in your 20's, to move around, get leverage, able to put some effort on what it is you are working on, not so much now, working off a creeper or on ones back is an undignified slap in the face as you get older ! I prefer a thick piece of cardboard, over a sheet of plywood when necessary, or plywood and creeper, when outside.

The sad thing is I own a 6000 lb Mohawk lift, and have yet to finish a place for it to reside, thing looks at me while I crawl under a vehicle, one of these days darn it ....... :)

There is something to those semi soft type casters. I used to work for a curtain wall company, we installed the metal and glass panels you see on these giant high rise buildings. The company I worked with is doing the world trade center, there was a special on history channel about there portion of that job and how the do it. There is relevance here, stay tuned .....

To get those panels to the job and staged on the floors, they are crated up, hoisted to the floors and placed on............ furniture dollies with a specific type of caster, somewhat soft, but not too much. The crates are easily moved to the work area, panels rigged to be installed, we bought stacks of these dollies, those particular casters are the only type that work on a job site with concrete floors that my be rough or have things scattered about, those dollies roll over things because they give, a hard or steel caster, forget it. I had a large curtainwall job assigned to me, I went to CA., (new MGM H.Q. building going up in Century City) to review what they were doing and plan my job accordingly, the first thing I learned was about those dollies.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea ... [Read Article]
