All the telescopic products from TUBESCA-COMABI have been designed specifically to meet the varying requirements of different trades, thus offering several advantages to professionals in the building trade (structural building work, second fixings, and finishing work) and to those in the industrial maintenance field.

Among these remarkable characteristics, the modularity stands out as one of the main assets of the telescopic products from TUBESCA-COMABI, as the same product can be employed for several uses and applications. These products are versatile and also extremely practical on worksites, thanks to their ability to adapt to different types of terrain.

Another asset is the compact size: TUBESCA-COMABI’s telescopic products have a small footprint and are easy to transport, which makes them practical for professionals who need to move from one worksite to another. They are also easy to store and allow for saving space in warehouses and garages.

This allows professionals to optimize their budgets while benefitting from the advantages of telescopic products, such as versatility, practicality and adaptability, which allows each user to find a solution to their needs.
