Revolving External Halyard Trucks
Revolving External Halyard Trucks — also known as revolving flagpole pulleys or 360-degree flagpole trucks — are engineered to rotate freely with the wind, preventing your flag and halyard from tangling. At The Flagpole Store, we offer precision-built ball-bearing revolving trucks designed for smooth motion, reduced rope wear, and long-lasting durability — all Made in the USA.
These premium flagpole pulley systems are ideal for coastal, high-wind, and commercial flagpole installations where superior performance and reliability matter most.
