Hi,

creepers serve different purposes. While the usual creepers (creeper dollies/creeper boards/German: Rollbrett) serve a transport function, the mechanic's creeper (German: also Rollbrett) is different. I would not classify these items under land transportation - Accessory. In my eyes, this is a general working/workshop tool like a ladder, a knee cushion or working helmet.

English	German
creeper, automotive creeper, car creeper, mechanic's creeper	Rollbrett (n) (einer Autowerkstatt)
creeper, creeper dolly, creeper board	Rollbrett (n) (zum Transportieren von Lasten)

Hi Shannon,

If you want to conform to the Nomenclature standards, then it would be a "wheeled platform". If  you want to be descriptive so that someone who is looking for it can find it then put it in you database as a "mechanic's creeper".

If you are using PastPerfect you can go into the Lexicon and classify it under Land Transportation - Accessory.
