Deputy Chief Series Commercial Flagpoles

All the strength of the Battalion Chief (.250" walls, 150+ mph with a flag) with an internal halyard and winch. The cable runs inside the pole, out of sight and out of reach, and the flag can only be raised or lowered with a removable winch handle. That makes it the best choice for high-wind sites that also need to stop tampering and theft.

How to choose: external halyard poles (Jr Cadet through Battalion Chief) have the rope on the outside and cost less. Internal halyard poles hide the rope or cable inside and lock it away: Asst. Chief uses a rope and a locking cam cleat, while Chief and Deputy Chief use a stainless cable and a winch with a removable handle, our most secure setup. Within each type, a higher rank means thicker walls and a higher wind rating. Captain poles are nautical: a yardarm (and optional gaff) lets you fly several flags from one pole.
