How to Choose
Height
Match the pole to your building and flag size
Wind Rating
Local wind loads determine the pole class you need
Halyard System
External, internal M-Winch, or internal cam cleat
Finish & Warranty
Satin, anodized, or powder coat, backed for the long haul
Wind Rating & Location
Wind is the main load a flagpole carries, from both the shaft itself and the flag flying on it, and it gets stronger as height above ground increases and as you move toward the coast. Every Atlantic Flagpole commercial pole is rated at a specific flagged wind speed for the recommended flag size; larger flags, higher local wind zones, or an oversized flag can lower the effective safety margin.
Our standard commercial poles (Adirondack, Whitney) are rated for 110–120+ MPH flagged wind speeds. For coastal areas, open exposure, or known high-wind regions, our heavier configurations (Rainier and larger Denali poles) are built with thicker wall aluminum and larger butt diameters to reach ratings up to 150+ MPH.
Not sure what your site needs? Call our team at (518) 400-0765 and we'll help you match a pole class to your location before you order, including a signed engineering package if your project requires one.
How the Flag Raises & Lowers
All three options are built to run for decades with minimal upkeep.
External Halyard
The traditional setup: flag runs on a rope with a cast aluminum cleat at the base. Simple, low-maintenance, easy to inspect.
Internal Halyard with M-Winch
The flag and cable run inside the pole shaft, operated with a removable crank handle and locked with a key. Clean look, added security, no rope slapping in the wind.
Internal Halyard with Cam Cleat
A budget-friendly internal option: the halyard runs inside the pole to a locking access door with a cam cleat. Good security at a lower cost than the M-Winch.

Choose Your Finish
Every commercial pole is built from seamless 6063-T6 aluminum, ground-set and precision tapered. Choose from four standard finishes: Satin Aluminum (the industry standard, low-maintenance brushed finish), Clear Anodized, Dark Bronze Anodized, or Black Anodized. Anodizing bonds the color into the aluminum itself, so it won't flake or peel, and it adds extra corrosion resistance for coastal sites. Custom powder-coat colors are also available on request.
Every Commercial Pole Includes
Ground Foundation Sleeve
Galvanized steel, sized to your pole's butt diameter.
Revolving Truck & Pulley
Cast aluminum, built for daily raising and lowering.
Cleat or Lockable Access
Depending on halyard system chosen.
Ball Ornament
Gold anodized aluminum, standard on most series.
American-Made Aluminum
Seamless 6063-T6 shaft, precision tapered.
Freight Delivery
Shipped direct, with installation quoted separately.
