External Halyard Truck Assemblies
An external halyard truck sits at the top of the flagpole and carries the rope (halyard) that raises and lowers the flag. We carry Concord American Flagpole trucks for every external halyard pole, from cap style stationary trucks to heavy-duty revolving trucks and cast ball trucks, plus Eder Flag replacement rope pulleys. Every truck accepts a ball, eagle, cross or Texas star on top.

How to Choose
- Cap or spindle: cap style trucks fit over the top of the pole. Spindle trucks thread into a fitting welded into the pole top; the standard spindle thread is 1-1/4" NPT, with 1" and 1-1/2" NPT available on request.
- Stationary or revolving: a stationary truck stays fixed. A revolving truck turns with the wind, which keeps the flag from wrapping around the pole. A cap style revolving truck can convert a stationary pole to revolving.
- Pole top size: measure the outside diameter at the very top of your flagpole.
- Ornament thread: most trucks are drilled 1/2"-13NC for the ornament, with 5/8"-11NC available. A thread adapter can convert between the two.
- Halyard size: standard trucks take a 5/16" rope; heavy-duty trucks take 3/8". Worn pulley? See our replacement rope pulleys.
