The rotating truck helps reduce wear and tear on the truck components by allowing the flag to rotate with the direction of the wind. On External Halyard Flagpole Systems, you may also opt for a truck with a double pulley. These trucks allow the flagpole to have two separate halyard systems. This makes it easier to fly multiple flags or fly one flag on top of the other.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-8451c64 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8451c64\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-22b27ea\" data-id=\"22b27ea\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-275f25b elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"275f25b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"757\" src=\"https:\/\/www.customgenius.com\/demo3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/The-beautiful-world-of-ants-and-myrmecology.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-2758\" alt=\"Internal versus external halyard flag pole parts\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.customgenius.com\/demo3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/The-beautiful-world-of-ants-and-myrmecology.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.customgenius.com\/demo3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/The-beautiful-world-of-ants-and-myrmecology-300x151.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.customgenius.com\/demo3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/The-beautiful-world-of-ants-and-myrmecology-1024x517.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.customgenius.com\/demo3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/The-beautiful-world-of-ants-and-myrmecology-768x388.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-790235b\" data-id=\"790235b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9d638a7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"9d638a7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"662\" src=\"https:\/\/www.customgenius.com\/demo3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Internal-Halyard-Flagpoles-vs.-External-Halyard-Flagpoles.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2704\" alt=\"Internal Halyard Flagpoles vs. External Halyard Flagpoles\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.customgenius.com\/demo3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Internal-Halyard-Flagpoles-vs.-External-Halyard-Flagpoles.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.customgenius.com\/demo3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Internal-Halyard-Flagpoles-vs.-External-Halyard-Flagpoles-300x248.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.customgenius.com\/demo3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Internal-Halyard-Flagpoles-vs.-External-Halyard-Flagpoles-768x636.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Flag and flagpole terminology.
