Turtle Shield Aims to Ease Automotive Work on Uneven Terrain
Working on a vehicle outdoors often turns into a struggle against gravel, grass, or dirt that traps traditional creeper wheels. A new patent-pending device, the Turtle Shield, seeks to solve this mobility issue by allowing mechanics and hobbyists to glide across rough ground without getting stuck beneath the chassis.
Developed by an inventor from Richland Hills, Texas, the low-profile platform is engineered to support the body while reducing neck strain during maintenance tasks. By eliminating the friction caused by standard hardware on uneven outdoor surfaces, the design aims to improve both visibility and comfort for those performing repairs outside the garage. The concept is currently being managed by InventHelp, which is seeking licensing agreements or potential buyers among automotive manufacturers and marketers. Interested parties can reference file number 25-FDD-134 when contacting the firm’s Pittsburgh office.
