Ez Creeper Reduces Scare of Aviation Maintenance Tech Injuries

If you thought things looked a bit creepy here this week in Orlando, it’s not just because Halloween was on Monday. The Ez Creeper Company is keeping things creepy at NBAA 2016, but in a slightly different—and much less scary—way.

At its show booth (1239), the company is displaying what it claims is the “world’s only aviation creeper.” Designed by a pilot for aircraft maintenance, the Ez Creeper boasts a light and strong one-eighth-inch aluminum frame.

According to the Michigan-based company, its $950 creeper increases productivity of aircraft technicians and reduces repetitive stress injuries. The Ez Creeper, designed to comfortably sit and lift up to a 300-pound person, is also adjustable without dismounting via hand-powered hydraulics. It also comes with a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing and materials defects.
