Vehicle & Fume Exhaust
Commercial & Industrial
Vehicle & Fume Exhaust Systems
Source Capture Solutions for Cleaner, Safer Work Environments
Michigan Mechanical Systems provides vehicle exhaust removal and fume extraction systems for commercial and industrial facilities where engines, equipment and processes can generate exhaust, fumes and airborne contaminants.
From automotive service facilities and fleet maintenance garages to manufacturing plants and heavy-equipment service areas, we can help develop an exhaust solution tailored to your facility, equipment, and operating requirements.
Vehicle Exhaust Removal Systems
Capture Exhaust at the Source
When vehicles or internal combustion engines operate indoors, exhaust can quickly affect air quality throughout the facility. A properly designed vehicle exhaust extraction system captures exhaust close to the source and removes it from the occupied work area.
Source-capture systems can provide an effective solution for facilities such as:
- Automotive service and repair facilities
- Truck and fleet maintenance garages
- Bus and transit facilities
- Fire and emergency vehicle stations
- Heavy-equipment maintenance facilities
- Municipal and public works garages
- Military vehicle facilities
- Manufacturing plants
- Equipment testing areas
- Technical and vocational training facilities
Designed for Light-Duty to Heavy-Duty Applications
The Right System for the Equipment You Operate
A passenger vehicle service facility has very different exhaust requirements than a facility maintaining diesel trucks, buses or heavy equipment.
Michigan Mechanical Systems can help evaluate factors such as:
- Vehicle and equipment type
- Gasoline or diesel engines
- Exhaust temperature
- Engine size and operating conditions
- Number of service bays
- Exhaust hose diameter and length
- Tailpipe configuration
- Required airflow
- Ductwork layout
- Fan requirements
- Available ceiling and floor space
- Equipment storage and accessibility
Evaluating the complete application helps ensure the vehicle exhaust system is practical for employees to use while providing the airflow and exhaust removal required by the facility.
Industrial Fume Extraction
Control Airborne Contaminants Where They're Generated
Vehicle exhaust isn't the only source of airborne contamination in commercial and industrial environments.
Manufacturing, welding and other industrial processes can generate fumes, smoke and airborne particulates that require effective capture and removal.
Fume extraction systems can be designed to capture contaminants close to the source before they spread throughout the surrounding work area.
Depending on the application, solutions may include extraction arms, exhaust hoods, ductwork, fans, filtration equipment or other source-capture components.
Flexible Exhaust Extraction Systems
Solutions Designed Around Your Vehicles & Facility
Vehicle types, service bays and building configurations can vary considerably. Michigan Mechanical Systems can help identify an exhaust extraction system appropriate for the way your facility operates.
Available solutions can include:
Exhaust Hose Reels
Spring-retractable and motorized hose reels provide convenient overhead storage while allowing exhaust hoses to be positioned where needed.
Overhead Hose Drops
A practical solution for dedicated service bays and work areas requiring direct vehicle exhaust capture.
Exhaust Rail Systems
Rail-mounted systems provide greater flexibility where exhaust extraction equipment needs to move between vehicles or multiple service positions.
Portable Exhaust Systems
Portable solutions can provide exhaust capture in locations where permanent overhead or underground systems may not be practical.
Underfloor Exhaust Systems
An alternative for facilities where overhead equipment is undesirable or where the building layout is better suited to an underfloor configuration.
Tailpipe Adapters & Exhaust Hoses
A variety of hoses, nozzles and adapters can accommodate different vehicle types, exhaust temperatures and tailpipe configurations.

Vehicle Exhaust as Part of a Complete Ventilation Solution
Better Air Quality Through Coordinated System Design
Michigan Mechanical Systems provides more than individual exhaust components. Our experience with commercial and industrial mechanical systems allows us to consider how source capture interacts with the facility's overall ventilation strategy.
Vehicle and fume exhaust equipment can work together with exhaust and supply fans, make-up air systems, louvers and dampers, gas detection systems, custom air-handling units, and other HVAC equipment to create a coordinated air-movement solution.
Whether you're designing a new facility, expanding your service capabilities or upgrading an existing exhaust system, our team can help identify a solution appropriate for your building and application.
How to Capture Contaminants at the Source
Whether you need exhaust removal for a single service bay or a complete extraction system for a large fleet or an industrial facility, MMS can help develop a solution tailored to your equipment, workspace, and ventilation requirements.
