Stationary External Halyard Trucks
Stationary External Halyard Trucks — also known as flagpole pulleys — are the fixed-top assemblies that guide your halyard rope through a smooth pulley system at the top of the flagpole. At The Flagpole Store, we carry USA-made stationary flagpole trucks designed for smooth operation, weather resistance, and long-lasting performance.
Perfect for residential, municipal, and light commercial flagpoles, these stationary external halyard pulleys provide a cost-effective and durable solution for raising and lowering your flag with ease.
Features of Stationary Flagpole Trucks & Pulleys
- Fixed Pulley Design: The flagpole pulley remains stationary, guiding the halyard cleanly through the top of the pole.
- Easy Installation: Fits over the top of the pole or screws into the shaft via a threaded spindle.
- Durable Build: Constructed from heavy-duty cast aluminum or stainless steel for reliable performance in all conditions.
- Compatible with Ornaments: Accepts standard ball tops, eagles, and other flagpole ornaments.
- Low Maintenance: Simple design minimizes moving parts and upkeep.
Stationary vs. Revolving Flagpole Trucks
| Feature | Stationary Truck (Flagpole Pulley) | Revolving Truck |
|---|---|---|
| Rotation | Fixed – pulley does not move | Rotates 360° with wind direction |
| Flag Tangling | Possible in gusty or shifting winds | Minimized – truck spins with the wind |
| Best Use | Homes, schools, or calm areas | High-wind, coastal, or commercial sites |
| Maintenance | Minimal – no bearings to service | Requires occasional bearing lubrication |
| Cost | Lower cost, simple operation | Higher cost, premium performance |
Stationary trucks — sometimes called flagpole top pulleys — are an excellent choice when simplicity, strength, and affordability are top priorities. For windy regions or heavy-duty installations, consider upgrading to a revolving flagpole truck.

Stationary Flagpole Truck & Pulley FAQs
A stationary flagpole truck — sometimes called a flagpole pulley — is a fixed top assembly that holds the pulley guiding the halyard rope. It allows the flag to move freely while the top of the pole remains stationary.
Choose a stationary truck for calm or residential areas where rotation isn’t necessary. It’s a simple, strong, and low-maintenance solution for most flagpoles.
Most stationary flagpole trucks fit standard aluminum flagpoles. Always match the truck’s base diameter to your pole’s outside diameter for a proper fit.
Stationary trucks have no moving parts other than the pulley itself. Occasional inspection and halyard lubrication is recommended for smooth operation.
