Traxion 3-700 ProGear Foldable Topside Automotive Engine Creeper Large

i had to replace a bad injector on my dodge ram 4x4. I did some of the work before buying this creeper and it was a pain (literally) to work on the truck. I alternated between standing on the bumper and leaning over the engine, sitting in the engine bay, laying on the radiator support. None were comfortable and I could only sustain the positions for a short time. I put the job on hold and ordered this creeper and the second half of the job went so much better. The package came in good condition. I ordered from tool topia and they used a freight company to deliver the creeper. The box had a small amount of damage, but nothing seemed missing or damaged once I opened the box. Assembly was easy, I did add a few washers as other reviewers mention and suggest. I assembled the creeper by myself and it was very easy. I do agree as another reviewer mentions that the pins to hold the pad on the top are a pain. the holes don't line up left-to-right, so pin wants to go in at an angle and not line up to the 2nd hole. Since the pin is short, you have less leverage to push the pin sideways to force it to line up to the second hole. I'll probably get a longer pin will allow me to more easily align it to the second hole. I found the hight of the creeper to be perfect for my truck. once i got up there, i had both hands free and had a perfect overhead view of the engine. getting up and down was easy when i had to go get another tool or part to continue the job. Now i am looking forward to doing more maintenance on my truck as this creeper is definitely going to make the jobs much easier. It would be nice if the creeper could be stored upright. If the creeper could stand upright on its own that would be a bonus. The only negative now is the storage of the creeper when not in use but i can live with that.

I fixed a fuel leak on my 2001 4X4 Dodge Ram and my back was a little sore, so I purchased this. I really wish I had done so sooner, this is a sturdy creeper. I had to do a little work to make it comfortable, but now I can stay on it for an extended time with no issues. The padding under the top of this is VERY thin. I replaced the foam around the frame with pipe insulation and filled the cover with fluff from sacrificial pillows I buy for my dog. Also it has three pigtails for cable management and the middle one broke off with very little force. I sanded it down and painted it, it's not worth a return on. The other two seem solid, not sure how one weld got screwed up. Overall I'm happy with it, makes working on the truck much easier and less painful.

Works great! Used it to do engine work on my 2007 Dodge Ram 4wd Diesel truck which is pretty tall. This platform allowed me to lay over the engine bay and reach way back towards the firewall without hurting my low back.

Very high quality. Well built and easy to install. Rolls around smoothly and brakes lock pretty solid. Only critique would be a little bit more padding, as your chest can get pretty bruised from the metal frame pushing through the padding when you use it for long periods of time.

I was torn with giving this a 4 or 3 star review and ultimately I had to give this a 3 star review. Pro Looks fantastic Casters and wheel locks work great Stable Cons Welds Adjustability Cord control Platform As stated above I wanted to give this thing a 4 star rating but the amount of manipulation and added parts I have to add to get things right that should be basic common sense stuff is what killed it. First if they had added 8 more washers and 2 plastic washers, 4 for the outrigger to spread the bolt head pressure out some would have been fantastic (I saw this and added my own). Then when attaching the ladder assembly to the out rigger the same thing with a plastic washer to act as a bushing of sorts to keep the outrigger and ladder assembly from binding up and just rubbing the finish off of each other (I also saw this as an error and added my own). I'll also put this here since basic assembly stuff was just cut for what ever reason ($1.86 in washers from Lowes). Some of the welds are something you'd expect from someone who just took a class in welding and was practicing as well as some of the extra supports were merely tac-welded into place (it would do you well to keep an eye on them). Moving along the assembly the upper ladder section rungs should have been used on the bottom part for the sake of better footing and foot fatigue. The deck securing holes needed to be adjusted slightly as well as the bolts holding the deck needed to be properly tightened (it came pre assembled with 1 bolt on each side being loose. The fit of the deck on it's support leaves a lot to be desired as well, it should be a snug fit not the little bit of slop that it has while i doubt it would cause a failure it's putting added pressure on the bolts instead of the structure (another thing I'll keep my eye on). The deck is probably about as uncomfortable as it could possibly be unless they wanted to stuff it with shards of glass, rusty nails, and maybe Bees. Do yourself a favor and order a throw pillow to lay on top of it I'm guessing as a safety concern its designed hollow so people won't stand on it but the padding is without a doubt completely inadequate. Adjusting the height is half a battle I had to slightly adjust the triangle on the bottom that the pin goes into to prevent collapse as it was slightly tweeked enough that the pin would not slide through and through. The cord control will work with regular power tools you'll have to fight them to get an air line if you had to keep the hose off the work project. It is stable you never feel like it's going to fall forward (once the deck wedges it's self to it's final resting spot) or tip over even when reaching to the left and right while removing or driving fasteners or using a pry-bar. The colors and finish of the paint give it a super premium look. The wheels roll and track very well and the wheel locks work fantastic with an audible pop when they engage and disengage.a little wider foot rungs would have been a huge + put they are just okay for what they are.

A absolute must If you work on a lifted vehicle. Saves my back and I don’t have to climb in the engine compartment. 88 Ramcharger 360 4x4 4” lift on 35’s

For $300 this thing is a piece of junk. I had to return the first one because the machinist missed one of the holes he was supposed to drill, making it impossible to assemble. I've now assembled the replacement nut with all bolts fully-tightened the thing is still very wobbly. It seems that some of the bolt holes are too large for the bolt which is allowing the wobble. This product is not something I feel comfortable standing on. Also there is no padding whatsoever. It's just the red plastic leather stretched over a steel frame, so it isn't very comfortable at all. Everyone should skip this topside creeper. Maybe the cheaper version is a little better since you save $100 and it at least comes with a cushion? At this point I almost want to return it and just lean on an ironing board or something, but don't want to go through the hassle of disassembling and packing the thing (considering I already had to once for the defective one).

I feel like this product has not been properly reviewed thus far due to the fact that not enough true diesel techs have submitted them. Many complaints about the comfort of the padding and ladder. Some saying it doesn't fold up well enough etc. The fact is that this is a great product for the cost! If you have ever stood on a bumper or milk crate while removing a EGR cooler or turbocharger, you KNOW that you pay for it with lots of pain afterwards. This device is a life saver! Sure I would like some more padding, bigger casters, higher grade hardware, and a custom paint job 😂. But, the reality is that for approximately $300 this topside creeper is slick, extremely well built, very sturdy, and has features and benefits that we can all easily dismiss. The short version... WELL worth $300 and I think I'll buy two more. Thanks Traxion and Amazon.

Awesome for any full size truck. Wish I had known about these years ago. Would have saved time and ribs.

Very usefull
