Concord Industries - Independence


		Concord'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 Concord 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; nickle plated snaphooks; 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 powdercoat paint finishes.
