Naturally, the concept's simplicity requires significant design and construction know-how to create an efficient product: this is how GTL was designed. The product can **support itself without the need of external supports**, while the jointed end part lets you **easily adjust the extraction arm mouth direction**. GTL accessories end with a **flexible hose** designed to **resist high gas temperatures (up to 200°C).**   ![Extraction arm working](https://blog.worky-italy.com/hubfs/KIRO/Imported_Blog_Media/braccio-aspirante-funzionamento_i12509-kgv7RXq-w600-l1-4-2.jpg)   ## Extraction arms: GTL advantages The [GTL jointed extraction arm](https://www.worky-italy.com/en/exhaust-fume-extraction/sliding-elements/sliding-trolley-on-rail-with-touchless-arm-gtl) provides workshop technicians with a series of unique advantages: - **Time savings:** since it does not come into contact with the vehicle exhaust pipe, GTL **does not require continuous nozzle changes** to adapt to the various vehicle model exhaust pipes. The universal arm lets you save precious time in each operation, leading up to several hours on a monthly basis. - **Economic savings:** once the need to change the nozzle is eliminated, even company investments in **purchasing adapters** become **superfluous.** These are not negligent amounts, especially when considering that various models are added each year requiring the workshop to keep up to date. - **Reduced damage risks**: the extraction arm with TOUCHLESS technology, not coming into contact with the vehicle exhaust pipe, **eliminates any risk of scratches or collisions** on the vehicle in the adjustment phase.   ![extraction arm gtl](https://blog.worky-italy.com/hubfs/KIRO/Imported_Blog_Media/braccio-aspirante-gtl_i12507-k9lcbyA-w600-l1-Feb-15-2022-09-07-17-10-AM-2.jpg)   Furthermore, the GLT arm lets you: - **Reach various points, even far from each other:** the arm is designed to easy slide, reaching various points in the workshop from the aerial track. - **Avoid occupying floor space**: thanks to being mounted on a track, the extraction arm does not occupy floor space. When not in use, it can be folded up on the support conduit.   ![extraction arm advantages](https://blog.worky-italy.com/hubfs/KIRO/Imported_Blog_Media/braccio-aspirante-vantaggi_i12508-kEvqhZ-w600-l1-Feb-15-2022-09-07-16-50-AM-2.jpg)   ## GLT extraction arm: the perfect choice for Ferrari Motors WORKY contributed to the [renovation of an important Ferrari Motors group multi-brand workshop](https://www.worky-italy.com/en/blog/worky-upgrades-the-ferrari-motors-multi-brand-service-center), a customer who works daily with **dozens of different** Seat, Suzuki, Citroen, Hyundai, Kia, Peugeot and Opel brand car models. The main request to be met was to install an [exhaust extraction system](https://www.worky-italy.com/en/exhaust-fume-extraction) that was universal and that **facilitated moving from one vehicle to another**.   The system featured WORKY's **GTL universal touchless arm** in a sliding version on an extruded aluminium track. This solution adapts perfectly to the mufflers on each manufacturer’s car and **visibly reduces service times**.           **Do you want to learn all the ins and outs of WORKY’S GTL touchless extraction arm?** Download the WORKY catalogue for free   --- #### [Exhaust fume extraction: the benefits of modern systems Previous Post](https://blog.worky-italy.com/en-gb/automotive/exhaust-fume-extraction-benefits?hsLang=en-gb) #### [Exhaust fumes extraction systems: the benefits for workers Next Post](https://blog.worky-italy.com/en-gb/automotive/exhaust-gas-extractor-benefits-workers?hsLang=en-gb) [![CTA C1 - verticale gas di scarico - EN - gennaio 2025 v2](https://hubspot-no-cache-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/26256811/interactive-102029206998.png)](https://cta-eu1.hubspot.com/web-interactives/public/v1/track/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLLSN%2BOprhysqBVVPbif3ifDDbsENQTzk%2BlWUVWbiu6B3wrd7q0nj1hjR346kErnm7p2IBJXghKytBhuGIFgUDqe%2B55vE5EfZzvPNNKRP4Ws3V9BC8RDjgfisJ%2F2qtpPxUmH9Iw1OzUbiUU%2Bk5YAuMq9oHEbPggjfxL6GIa9sqp3wYYmi8YFHbr4DgZT75S39yVQBqkpiQsubgvXEIu4CMc6WDvgU1dASH4DtPKzFbep&webInteractiveContentId=102029206998&portalId=26256811) ##### Blog WORKY Automotive Subscribe to WORKY's Automotive blog and stay updated! ### Categories - [automotive (43)](https://blog.worky-italy.com/en-gb/automotive/tag/automotive) - [exhaust gas extraction (39)](https://blog.worky-italy.com/en-gb/automotive/tag/exhaust-gas-extraction) - [exhaust fumes extraction systems (19)](https://blog.worky-italy.com/en-gb/automotive/tag/exhaust-fumes-extraction-systems) - [fume extraction systems (15)](https://blog.worky-italy.com/en-gb/automotive/tag/fume-extraction-systems) - [car workshop (12)](https://blog.worky-italy.com/en-gb/automotive/tag/car-workshop) ### Popular Posts 21 May, 2021 [Car workshop design: best practices for maximum efficiency](https://blog.worky-italy.com/en-gb/automotive/worky-s-car-workshop-design-process?hsLang=en-gb) 07 Apr, 2022 [Exhaust fume extraction: the benefits of modern systems](https://blog.worky-italy.com/en-gb/automotive/exhaust-fume-extraction-benefits?hsLang=en-gb) 30 Jan, 2025 [How to choose the right exhaust fumes extraction systems](https://blog.worky-italy.com/en-gb/automotive/choose-right-exhaust-fumes-extraction-systems?hsLang=en-gb) 24 Feb, 2026 [Portable exhaust gas extractor: the flexible solution for today’s garage](https://blog.worky-italy.com/en-gb/automotive/portable-exhaust-gas-extractor-workshop-guide?hsLang=en-gb) --> [![worky](https://blog.worky-italy.com/hubfs/Images_DEA_Worky_November2024/Images/footer-Logo.svg "worky")](https://ronb33.sg-host.com/) We work alongside your business to make your work environment unique, functional and well-organised, perfectly suited to your needs.
