Castors are wheels designed to fit onto the bottom of larger objects and swivel 360 degrees. Car creepers usually have 4 to 6 castors. | |||
Back bench on a car creeper |

The padded back bench is designed for the user to lie on when performing maintenance underneath a vehicle. The padding gives the user support and increased comfort. | |||

Padded headrestSome models will have a padded headrest at the end of the back bench. This provides support and comfort for the user’s neck when working. |
|||
 |
Adjustable headrestA number of car creepers have an adjustable headrest which can be raised or lowered if needs be. This allows the user to position their head comfortably at different heights and angles. |
|||
Tool trays on car creepers |

 |
Some car creepers come with indented sections either side of the frame, which are designed for use as tool trays.
These allow the user to keep tools and other parts close and at arm’s length while performing maintenance. |
