Sentry
flagpoles offer the same quality and strength as the Continental flagpoles
with the added feature of an internal halyard system. The internal halyard
system
provides added security for the flag and reduces halyard noise.
The Sentry flagpole uses a standard halyard and cam cleat mounted inside the
flagpole shaft. The simple to use cam cleat mechanism require no maintenance
and
is accessed by a locking cast aluminum door assembly. That door assembly is
secured by 18-20 stainless steel allen head screws. Halyard noise is
eliminated
since only the flag, snap hooks, counterweight and retainer ring are exposed.
Standard fittings include a stationary cast aluminum truck on 5" shafts or a
revolving cast aluminum truck assembly on 6" and 7" shafts; neoprene covered
counterweight; beaded retainer ring; nickel plated snap hooks; gold anodized
aluminum finial ball and heavy gauge spun aluminum flash collar. The ground
set
foundation sleeve is made of hot-dipped galvanized corrugated steel with
self-centering wedges and an integrated grounding rod. Many optional fittings
are
available to customize the Sentry Flagpole. See Accessories for optional
fittings.
The standard shaft finish is a deep luster polished finish. Other
architectural
finishes are available to include, clear anodized, duranodic bronze or black,
or
powder-coat paint finishes. |

FBS's
Independence flagpoles offer the same quality and strength as the
Continental flagpoles with the added feature of an internal halyard system.
The
internal halyard system limits access to the flag and reduces halyard noise.
The heart of the Independence internal halyard system is a gearless, direct
drive,
stainless steel winch mounted inside the shaft. Access to the winch is through
a
locked flush mounted cast aluminum door. A thick cast aluminum reinforcement
frame is welded inside the door opening giving additional strength in this
area of
the flagpole shaft. The patented winch features an automatic brake allowing
the
flag to be set an any height. The winch is mounted on a FBS exclusive,
patented, rotating winch plate. This allows easy access for both operation and
for
routine maintenance.
Standard fittings include a heavy stainless steel aircraft cable halyard and
pre-sized
flag arrangement; revolving cast aluminum truck assembly with sealed bearings;
neoprene covered counterweight; beaded retainer ring; nickel plated snap
hooks;
gold anodized aluminum finial ball and heavy gauge spun aluminum flash collar.
The ground set foundation sleeve is made of hot-dipped galvanized corrugated
steel
with self-centering wedges and an integrated grounding rod. Many optional
fittings
are available to customize the Independence Flagpole. See Accessories for
optional
fittings.
The standard shaft finish is a deep luster polished finish. Other
architectural
finishes are available to include, clear anodized, duranodic bronze or black,
or
powder-coat paint finishes. |
