Sliding gas extraction for workshops: Worky telescopic drop-down system

Written by Lino Di Betta | May 14 2025

Worky present its new exhaust gas extraction system with a sliding telescopic arm: the telescopic drop. Designed to meet the needs of modern workshops in terms of efficiency, safety, and sustainability.

This system is part of the category of sliding exhaust gas extraction systems, highly appreciated in modern and multi-service workshops, where mobility, flexibility, and space optimization are essential for ensuring high performance and safe working environments.

Sliding Exhaust Gas Extraction Systems: What Are They and Why Choose Them?

Sliding exhaust gas extraction systems represent an advanced solution for the localized extraction of exhaust gases in Automotive repair workshops. They allow for the movement of the extraction point across all work areas, making them particularly suitable for multi-station workshops.

Compared to fixed systems, they offer:

  • Extreme operational modularity
  • Space optimization
  • Greater efficiency in connection times
  • Enhanced speed for the operator
  • Attractive design

 

Worky’s new product is designed to maximize these benefits, adding features such as a retractable telescopic hose and remote control for the extractor.

Exhaust Gas Extraction System with Telescopic Drop on Track: Main Features

Compact and Elegant Telescopic Drop System Design

The core of the system is a trolley with a telescopic drop tube, housed inside a compact and tiltable vertical frame. This sliding device is mounted on an aluminum track, allowing for smooth and unobstructed coverage of the entire work area.

Retractable Telescopic Hose: How It Works and Operational Advantages

The telescopic hose extends up to 5 meters and ends with a rubber nozzle, customizable to fit various vehicle types.

Once the extraction is completed, closing the valve on the nozzle helps the hose retract into the vertical housing, aided by the vacuum created by the extractor.

This solution reduces intervention times, keeps the workspace tidy, and ensures maximum efficiency with a clean and minimalist design.

Remote-Controlled Extractor: Energy Saving and Operator Convenience

One of the system’s options is a remotely controlled extractor, which can be operated using a wireless remote fixed to the hose.

This allows:

  • Quick on/off activation
  • Elimination of unnecessary movements
  • Reduced energy consumption, as the system only operates when necessary

In environments where vehicle flow is continuous, this feature offers a concrete operational advantage.

Workplace Safety and Compliance with Regulations Through Localized Extraction

Exhaust gas extraction is not just about efficiency, but also about health and regulatory compliance. Substances such as CO, NOx, and unburned hydrocarbons are highly toxic in confined spaces and subject to strict regulations (e.g., Italian Legislative Decree 81/2008).

Thanks to localized and precise extraction, the new system allows:

  • Protecting operator health
  • Maintaining healthy environment and compliance with regulations
  • Avoiding fines and legal issues

System Components: Technology and Materials

Telescopic Drop: Robustness and Lightweight

The telescopic drop is made from PVC, ensuring mechanical strength, light weight, and long-term durability, as it never comes into contact with hot, dirty exhaust gases.

Aluminum Track: Modularity and Flexibility

The track allows horizontal movement of the system, ensuring maximum placement flexibility. It is ideal for environments where multiple workstations need to share a single system.

System Applications: Who Is It For?

The telescopic drop system is compatible with gasoline, diesel, hybrid, and LPG vehicles.

Why Invest in a Sliding Extraction System with Retractable Hose?

The new telescopic drop extraction system is much more than just a technical tool: it is an elegant, cost-effective, and functional solution for the future of modern workshops.
Adopting a sliding exhaust gas extraction system with a retractable hose means:

  • Improving operational efficiency with a system that moves with the operator, reducing downtime and increasing productivity.
  • Optimizing workspace by utilizing compact and organized solutions that eliminate floor clutter.
  • Reducing energy consumption, as the system is activated only when needed via a wireless remote control.
  • Enhancing the aesthetic impact by minimizing obstructions to traffic flow, with a focus on cleanliness and design.

In an environment increasingly oriented toward flexible, cost-effective, and high-value-added solutions, this system provides a concrete answer to the daily challenges faced by workshops: from space management to protecting technicians' health.
