Flagpole Rigging Systems |

External Halyard
Standard Flagpoles include an external halyard system. The rope(s) run down
the outside of the flagpole and are fastened using a cleat. While this system is
the most widely used, variations due occur. Commercial ground set flagpoles are
supplied with a revolving truck, where residential and wall mounted poles come standard
with a stationary truck. Also, revolving trucks are available with a single pulley
(one rope) or a double pulley (two ropes). Each section describes the standard fittings.
Internal Halyard - Vandal Deterrent Systems Winch System
Suitable for all poles larger than 5.5" in diameter. Highly Flexible stainless
steel cable is routed through the interior of the flagpole shaft. The cable is attached
to a gearless positive locking winch that allows display of the flag at any position
on the pole. The cable is routed over two pulleys inside the revolving truck and
ends with a neoprene ball block to prevent jamming at the poles top. Then, an arrangement,
the length of each flag to be flown, is attached. At the bottom of this arrangement
a beaded sling encircles the pole and keeps the flag tight against the flagpole.
The neoprene-coated counterweight allows for proper lowering of the flag. A removable
winch handle is used to raise and lower the flag through an access hole in the pole.
A flush-hinged door with a cylinder lock is provided to access and maintain the
winch and cable.
Winch System
This may be used for aluminum poles. It is common to see this type of mounting on
poles with lighting fixtures or on roof tops. 3/4" anchor bolts replace the ground
sleeve and are concreted in to the ground or welded to steel structures
Internal Cam System
A more cost-effective, vandal-proof internal halyard system. The cam cleat
replaces the winch and the door is removable allowing for access to operate the
halyard. Standard nylon rope is used in lieu of stainless steel cable and a stationary
truck instead of a revolving truck. This system can be used in 5" diameter poles
and above. The cam system is not recommended on poles 35' and above. Consult factory
for available sizes.
