Prevost DRF Hose Reels: Compact Composite Hose Reel

Lightweight, Rust-Proof, and Built for Efficiency

The Prevost DRF Series is the versatile “all-rounder” of the Prevost lineup, combining professional-grade performance with a lightweight, high-impact composite housing. Designed for workshops, garages, and assembly stations where weight and aesthetics matter, the DRF offers the same internal reliability as its steel counterparts but in a sleek, corrosion-proof shell.

Perfect for mounting on walls or ceilings where heavy steel reels might be impractical, the DRF delivers smooth airflow and effortless handling, making it the preferred choice for general maintenance and automotive technicians.

Key Features & Benefits

• High-Impact Composite Casing: The housing is molded from a tough, UV-resistant techno-polymer. Unlike metal reels, it is completely immune to rust and dents, making it ideal for humid environments or wash bays. It is also significantly lighter, reducing the load on mounting surfaces.
• Ultra-Flexible Polyurethane Hose: Pre-loaded with a premium polyurethane (PU) hose that stays flexible even in cold temperatures. It offers excellent resistance to abrasion and oils while weighing less than traditional rubber hoses, reducing operator fatigue.
• 180° Swivel Bracket: Every DRF unit comes standard with a wall/ceiling bracket that pivots 180°. This allows the reel to “follow” the operator as they move around the bay, preventing hose friction and reducing tension on the feed line.
• PrevoS1 Safety Technology: Fitted with the patented prevoS1 safety coupling, this reel ensures zero-pressure disconnection. A single push of the button vents the air line before releasing the tool, eliminating the risk of dangerous “hose whip.”
• Precise Ratchet Mechanism: The internal spring and ratchet system allow you to extend the hose to the desired length and lock it in place, then retract it smoothly with a quick tug.

Technical Specifications

Ideal Applications

• Automotive Service Centers: The clean, plastic casing looks professional and won’t scratch vehicle paint if accidentally bumped.
• Light Assembly & Packaging: Perfect for suspending overhead to power pneumatic staplers or blow guns.
• Home Workshops & Garages: The professional choice for the serious DIYer who wants industrial quality without the industrial weight.
• Wash Bays: The rust-proof plastic casing handles moisture better than painted steel.

Comparison: DRF (Composite) vs. DMF (Steel)

• Choose DRF (Composite) if: You need a lightweight unit, you are mounting on drywall or lighter structures, or you work in a humid environment where rust is a concern.
• Choose DMF (Steel) if: You are in a heavy industrial area where the reel might take hard physical hits (forklifts, heavy flying debris) or sparks (welding).
