Tyre Killer

Tyre Killer

A tyre killer, also known as a spike barrier, is a heavy-duty security device used to puncture the tires of unauthorized vehicles. They are typically electro-hydraulically operated, featuring sharp metal spikes that rise from the ground when activated. Common features include remote control or access control system integration for automatic operation, high-strength construction to withstand vehicle impacts, and safety features like flashing lights to warn approaching drivers. Tyre killers are used in high-security areas like military bases, airports, embassies, and even banks to prevent unauthorized vehicle intrusions. Their benefits include enhanced security by stopping vehicles, improved perimeter protection, and potential for use as a deterrent due to their high visibility. There are different types of tyre killers depending on deployment: single or multiple spike strips for varying stopping power, permanent or retractable options for flexible use, and even heavy-duty versions designed to stop large trucks.
