Flagpole with ascending stem (aluminum)

Depending on their height, aluminum masts are made up of two, three or four aluminum pipes, which are interlocked by means of aluminum bushes and rings.

In this version, the flag rope is inside the mast and the cleat is locked with a key. This prevents flags from being stolen and eliminates the noise of the rope beating against the mast.

Aluminum flagpoles with ascending gallows 6-12m
Different heights available: 6 to 12 meters.
This flagpole is suitable for vertical banners with a sleeve at the top for the gallows to pass through (banner not supplied).
A quotation is drawn up within a short timeframe according to your requirements in terms of quantity of flagpoles and flags, type and model.
Flagpole with a rope in the middle and a horizontal arm at the top of the pole. This allows you to display the flag even on windless days. The flagpole allows you to lower and raise the arm. The flagpole is mounted in a concrete foundation with a mounting sleeve or hinged bracket.

Complete set consisting of :

silver aluminum flagpoles (available in all RAL colors to order)
knob - white (optional "onion" shaped knob) - Position 1
^360o rotating head - white - Position 7
fixing ring (x5) - Position 2
counterweight (x1) - Position 3
halyard located inside the mast - Position 4
swivel - Position 5
anti-theft housing with key for internal cleat or crank - Position 6
Rotating upright - Position 8
tilting plate (base + bar anchor) or fixing sleeve

Why choose a mast with bracket?

The advantage of a flagpole with stem is that the flag is always visible, even when there’s no wind. The stem ensures that the flag is always taut and therefore clearly visible. With a standard flagpole, your flag will be less visible in light winds.

Connections between aluminum flagpole parts

Our aluminum masts are made from two or three separate aluminum tubes that are joined together. Here are some suggestions for easier assembly of aluminum mast sections:

Coat both joint surfaces with liquid soap, using water to dilute the soap. This reduces friction and allows easy cleaning. Do not use any type of oil. It is difficult to clean the oil from the post after connecting the joints.
Hot temperatures cause the aluminum to expand, making the joint watertight. Put a bag of ice on the male part of the joint for a few minutes to cool the pole. This will cause the aluminum to contract so that the joint fits together better.

To help you understand exactly which types of mast we sell, we’ve drawn up a table showing the similarities and differences between them.

Type mât drapeau / Caractéristique	Platine basculante	Bras horizontal	Drisse	Serrure et clé
standard			drisse extérieur
standard antivol			drisse intérieur
à potence
à potence ascensionnelle			drisse intérieur
* “À potence” et “À potence ascensionnelle” – le drapeau est visible et sans vent (grâce au bras rotatif horizontal). ** Le type “à potence” n’est pas équipé avec drisse. Pour changer le drapeau doit abaisser le mât. Les modèles “Standard antivol” et “À potence ascensionnelle” peuvent être équipés en option de treuil pour lever et abaisser le drapeau.

Mounting of aluminum masts with tilting plates or with mounting sleeves

Fixing the aluminum mast. The aluminum mast can be attached to a tilting plate embedded in a concrete block, or fixed in an attachment sleeve embedded in a concrete block.
Aluminum masts are cylindrical in shape and made up of 2 or 3 parts (depending on length).

In most cases, flagpoles are fixed to the ground using a fixing sleeve which is permanently cemented into the ground. This is advisable for almost all flagpoles, whether domestic or commercial.

Attachment with tilting plate – allows you to lower the pole to change your flag. This attachment allows you to easily change your flag by tilting your pole.

aluminum sheath

the ground sleeve is what anchors the mast in the ground and keeps it stable.

Instructions for creating a foundation for a fixing sleeve

These instructions are guidelines for the manufacture of a foundation and should be treated as information. For final foundation design, please consult a local architect and civil engineer familiar with the terrain and specific climatic characteristics where the foundation will be built.
The information presented in these instructions may be subject to technical modifications without prior notice.

This fixing system is economical. The sleeve can be closed with a plug if the mast is removed. With this system, you lose some of the mast height (approx. 50cm).

NOTE ON THE FOUNDATION

Please see below for recommended minimum requirements for flagpole foundations. Please note that we can only recommend minimum dimensions, as Flagland is not responsible for the reinforced concrete foundation. Consult a civil or soil engineer regarding local soil conditions, before specifying overall foundation dimensions. The minimum dimensions for concrete foundations below apply only to good, firm, dry soil conditions.

Instructions for creating a foundation for a tilting stage

Figure 1 – Dig a pit with dimensions:
– for mast height 6m – pit dimensions Φ40cm x H = 100cm
– for mast height 8m – pit dimensions Φ45cm x H = 100cm
– for mast height 10m – pit dimensions Φ50cm x H = 120cm
– for mast height 12m – pit dimensions Φ60cm x H = 120cm

Figure 2 – Pour about 5 cm of gravel in the bottom of the pit

Figure 3 – Position the foundation anchors and metal baseing approximately 2 cm above the pit. Fill the pit with concrete.

Figure 4 – After about 7 days of decofractionation.

Figure 5 – Fix the tilting plate nail, lift the mast and tighten the screws.
Figure 6 – Adjust the screws to position the mast perfectly.

At the site where the poles are erected, the possibility of collision with vehicles must be minimized. To this end, the pole must be masked by a safety frame at heights that ensure protection from vehicles.
The masts must be erected by at least two people.

Mast assembly/maintenance instructions

Flagpoles are designed to display national, organizational, corporate, advertising and other flags.
Flagpoles can be of one-piece or cutaway construction. They can be made of aluminum or fiberglass.
The mast can be installed: in a concrete foundation or on a mast sleeve
Flagpoles can be between 6 and 12 meters high. Flagpoles must be installed and used in such a way as not to endanger people or property.
When storing the flagpole, it is important to check all its components and the appropriate method of attachment. Maintenance or repair operations involving the replacement of accessories that require the flagpole to be installed must be carried out under maximum safety conditions, with at least three people present.

WARNING!

– In strong winds above 40 km/h, we recommend lowering the flag to half mast height.
– In the event of a storm warning or winds exceeding 60 km/h, the flag must be removed from the mast immediately.

To help you understand the exact conditions under which the flag must be lowered or the mast folded (for the “gallows” version), we’ve attached an informative table concerning wind speed. To find out the exact wind speed, please refer to the “Weather Forecast” specific to the pole mounting area.
The Beaufort scale is an empirical measurement scale of 13 degrees (0 to 12) of average wind speed over a ten-minute period.

Force	Termes	Vitesse (km/h)	Effets à terre (à 10 m de hauteur, en terrain plat et à découvert)
0	Calme	< 1	La fumée monte verticalement. Les feuilles des arbres ne témoignent aucun mouvement.

5	Bonne brise	29 à 38	Le tronc des arbustes et arbrisseaux en feuilles balance. La cime de tous les arbres est agitée. Des vaguelettes se forment sur les eaux intérieures.
6	Vent frais	39 à 49	On entend siffler le vent. Les branches de large diamètre s'agitent. Les parapluies sont susceptibles de se retourner.
7	Grand frais	50 à 61	Tous les arbres balancent. La marche contre le vent peut devenir difficile.
