Remster 24 #5 April 17, 2011 Quote Hardware store .. plywood + 4 casters & 1/2 hour of your time. By bar, the best casters are made from in-line skate type wheels. MUCH smoother. The 4 like that at Eloy always generate a ficght to see who gets them Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sundevil777 93 #6 April 17, 2011 Back in the early '90s, the Boeing Employees Skydiving Club had some extra cash in their fund, and I was successful at getting them to let me buy 8 very professionally designed and built creepers. They are the only creepers I've ever seen that don't look home made. They had a separate white top/black bottom plastic shell arrangement (each shell probably vacuum molded), padding and 5 really nice wheels with the center wheel extending just a bit more. Those creepers were tough, really built to last. I can't remember from where I bought them. 4 each were provided to Snohomish and Kapowsin. Perhaps there is some ID on them that might get you to their source, in case you're willing to spend some serious money.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fast 0 #8 April 18, 2011 Buying non-shit caster is by far the most important part of making creepers. Buy the good ones, cause they are gonna be abused. Not 100% sure who made the ones at our dropzone, a local jumper I'm sure, but they are really nice. 4 amazing casters, padded and covered with vinyl with plastic edging to prevent any damage to the vinyl. Comfortable and roll really nicely. Again, it's all about good casters and a durable surface material.~D Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me.

Double bearing style (bearings in the wheel AND the pivot) Wheels are the hard red plastic (like a fat roller blade wheel) Plate mount (flat with 4 holes) with good casters, you Don't need a center raised wheel - you don't want one ...

I much prefer the creepers that are only 4 wheel with nothing at the center point. Find they are much less tippy and you can creep faster / easier.~D Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me.
