Low-profile inspection devices

Abstract

Maintenance and inspection devices, such as creepers, are provided that comprise a frame for supporting an individual and configured for coupling to one or more wheels. The device comprises or more light sources coupled to the frame and a power source housed within, or on, the frame. One or more electrical connectors extend through the frame to couple the light sources with the power source. Routing the electrical connectors through the frame of the inspection device protects the electrical connectors from wear or damage and inhibits removal of the light sources. The light sources may be pivotally coupled to the frame to allow the operator to adjust the angle of the light. The device may further comprise an actuator device for moving the frame between a substantially horizontal configuration relative to the ground surface and a substantially vertical or upright configuration. This allows the operator to direct the light in a more horizontal direction and/or easily store the inspection device after use.
