Spike Barriers Spike Barrier Properties Spike barriers (tire killers) are characterized by being highly durable security systems, designed to prevent unauthorized vehicles from entering by damaging their tires. They are heavily used at vital entrances, parking lots, and military and civilian facilities to ensure protection and directional control. Their main properties include: Strong Security Performance: Designed to forcefully obstruct vehicles, forcing them to stop, completely destroying tires, and providing protection against intrusions at heavily guarded locations. Operating Types: Available in hydraulic (for important entrances), mechanical, or electromechanical types, featuring high-speed operation (raise/lower) to open secure passages. Hardness and Durability: Made from extremely hard materials, often withstanding axle loads of up to (50) tons, and characterized by robust mechanisms and long lifespan. Ease of Installation and Control: Can be surface-mounted without deep excavation, support remote control, or control via access control systems, in addition to manual operation in case of power outage. Additional Features: Equipped with LED lighting for nighttime alerts, capable of withstanding high temperatures, and each spike can be individually retracted to facilitate passage for authorized vehicles.
