About Independence
poles.
Price Independence Poles |
|
If you want an
independence pole, that is what you need to order. Other
companies make internal halyard flagpoles, but they ARE NOT
Independence poles. |
|
What are the
differences? |
|
Our Independence poles have a
patented winch system, and it is already installed in
the pole! Others you need to bolt it in the back. Ours is on
a swivel base for easy rigging. We include a ball,
and our Sealed Bearing top head is by far better than
other top heads that only use stainless steel ball bearings
on the aluminum seat. Widely used in the industry, bearings
on aluminum seats eventually grind into the seat, the top
head just quits working (revolving). Pole still works, top
head does not. Why did you order a revolving truck top in
the first place if you didn't care if it was going to work
freely in 6 months? A quality sealed bearing unit will still
be working in 15 years.

Our poles, have a welded in
door frame which strengthens the pole where the door
material has been cut out. Others only cut out the door and
insert a mounting plate for the winch. Still others only
insert the winch system which is also the new cover,
but do not weld in a door frame. (frame welded in before
finishing of pole. click on the photos
to enlarge and inspect.)
Our Cable System,
includes what is called a cable arrangement. That is a
separate section of cable which is made up of flag snaps,
thimble ends, heavy cable connectors and links, and cable to
fit the flags for the pole. We don't just clamp the flag
snaps on the main cable of the pole. We attach a cable
arrangement which can be easily changed for different sizes
of flags or replaced if worn, with out having to replace the
entire cable of the pole.
All of these Items are a part
of the Independence pole, our prices are very completive,
but remember were competing with lesser quality poles.
If you want the best and a trouble free product you need to
buy the best. You can shop to get your best deal, but lets
don't be shopping for apples and settle for a prune |

One more tid-bit, I
recently repaired a flagpole for a US Post Office, it was a
steel pole over 30 years old, well made, and had a revolving
top head on it with sealed bearings, it appeared to me to be
the original and and is still working fine. Sealed bearings
do not need lubrication. Sealed bearings are worth the extra
150 to 400 dollars they cost in pole production. I build
them, service them, install them, and now mostly sell them,
you want the best, shop for
it here.
