Prevost DVO Hose Reels

Description

Prevost DVO Hose Reels: Long-Reach Open Hose Reel

Industrial Durability meets Lightweight Hose Technology

The Prevost DVO Series is a specialized open-drum reel engineered for operators who need extended range without the physical strain of dragging heavy rubber hoses. By combining a rugged, galvanized steel chassis with Prevost’s premium, lightweight Polyurethane (PU) or PVC hose, the DVO series allows for significantly longer hose runs (up to 82 ft / 25m) while remaining easy to maneuver.

Ideally suited for large workshops, assembly halls, and maintenance depots, the DVO bridges the gap between the heavy-duty DGO rubber reels and the compact enclosed reels. It offers the structural strength of steel with the flexibility and lightness of a modern composite hose.

Key Features & Benefits

• Extended Reach (82 ft / 25m): The DVO series is designed to carry longer lengths of hose than standard reels. The lighter weight of the hose allows the spring mechanism to retract up to 82 feet efficiently, covering massive working areas from a single mounting point.
• Lightweight Hose Technology: Unlike the DMO/DGO series which typically use heavy rubber, the DVO uses Polyurethane (for Air) or PVC (for Water). This significantly reduces operator fatigue, as the hose is easier to pull, carry, and manipulate around vehicles or machinery.
• High-Flow Performance: Despite using a lighter hose, the DVO does not compromise on power. It features a high-flow swivel and internal piping (often 1/2″ / 13mm ID), ensuring pneumatic tools receive full CFM even at the end of a long run.
• Corrosion-Resistant Steel Frame: The open-drum chassis is stamped from hot-dip galvanized steel and finished with UV-resistant electrostatic powder coating. It withstands the rigors of industrial environments, including impacts and exposure to light moisture.
• Smooth & Safe Retraction: Equipped with a precision ratchet stop to lock the hose at any length. The lower mass of the hose allows for a snappy, reliable retraction that resists tangling.

Technical Specifications

Ideal Applications

• Large Automotive Dealerships: Where technicians need to reach multiple bays or walk around large trucks without fighting the weight of a heavy rubber hose.
• Assembly Lines: For powering pneumatic tools over long distances where floor space must be kept clear.
• Wash-down Areas: (Water models) For rinsing large floors or equipment where a lightweight PVC hose is easier to manage than heavy rubber.
• Detailing Shops: The polyurethane hose is generally non-marring and lighter, reducing the risk of scratching vehicle surfaces compared to dirty rubber hoses.

The “Handling” Difference: DMO vs. DVO

• Choose DMO/DGO (Rubber Hose): If you are in a “rough” environment (welding sparks, jagged metal on floors, outdoor gravel) where the hose needs the thick armor of rubber.
• Choose DVO (Polyurethane Hose): If you are in a “clean” or large indoor environment (dealership, factory floor) and you want maximum length with minimum weight. Your shoulder will thank you for choosing the lighter hose.
