The hard and pure wing of American truckers is still crazy about its shapes that never get old. The customizations proposed have given rise to true masterpieces on wheels, sparkling and accessorized (from the grille to the muffler).

The cabin for example is often stretched to the extreme. Its size allows the driver to stay and sleep comfortably inside, thus avoiding, during long journeys, to stay in motels, thus remaining in watchful guard of their precious vehicle and its cargo. We are talking about the Peterbilt 389, a true American icon of heavy transport. The 389 is still so popular that the Paccar group, owner of the brand, has decided to put it back into production, revising it and equipping it with the 510 HP MX 13 engine. The success in sales has confirmed the strategy of the Denton-based company, which is that the classic never gets old.

Speaking of classics in exhaust gas suction systems, we would like to focus on the WORKY mechanical reel.

If it is true that the classic never tires, it is also true that WORKY's research and development department never gets tired of constantly working on perfecting its products, to make them a solution that is always adequate to the demands of the market.

The WORKY reel has recently been upgraded: optimized internal structure resulting in a lesser pressure drop and, thanks to the new ABS discs, a weight reduction (which makes assembly operations easier and faster).

WORKY has in its range different solutions to meet the needs of exhaust gas extraction for all workshops, including the heavy-duty sector, always respecting the strictest standards of construction quality.

WORKY spring recoil hose reels are equipped with crush-proof flexible hose that can withstand up to 200°C; hose stopper that can be positioned according to the installation height; hose clamps for easy connection. The most suitable nozzle to be added can be chosen from the wide range available in WORKY catalogue.

Among the accessories, WORKY spring recoil hose reels can be completed with microswitch for the automatic start of the fan (the fan is included in the GMRF+ series, while it is to be added separately in the GMR+ version).
