Counterweight
For Use With All Rope and Wire Internal Halyard Systems




Description
A patented flagpole counterweight for internal halyard systems. Prevents tangles and helps flags hang properly in the wind. Available in multiple sizes and weights.
Counterweights are required in Internal Halyard Systems to assist in the lowering of flags. They also ensure the flag hangs and flies properly in winds by keeping the flag taught. Three sizes allow the proper choice of counterweight based on wind zone and flag size flown.
The Industry's Only Patented Counterweight, Patent #D594,380
Constructed of steel covered in a thick plastic coating, Concord American Flagpole's patented Counterweights are designed with heavy-duty, horizontal attaching bars. This design more efficiently distributes the stress load when compared to industry standard round-eye ends which concentrate the load in a single location. Dual attachment points in all sizes also provide a significantly increased safety level when compared to single attachment designs. This is the longest lasting, safest Counterweight the industry has to offer!
Factors to consider when choosing a counterweight
- Wind Speed: In high-wind areas, it is often recommended to go with a heavier counterweight than the standard recommendation.
- Flag Size: A larger flag will require a heavier counterweight to maintain proper tension. You can use our chart to determine the right flag size for your flagpole height.
- Flying Multiple Flags: If you plan to fly more than one flag, you may need a heavier counterweight.
