Tyre killers, also known as tire spikes or tire deflation devices, are mechanical security devices used to prevent unauthorized access to certain areas by disabling the tires of vehicles attempting to enter. These devices consist of a row of sharp, pointed spikes that are designed to puncture and deflate the tires of any vehicle that drives over them.

Tyre Killers

Tyre killers are typically used in high-security environments such as military bases, government installations, and private properties where restricted access is crucial. They are installed at entry points, such as gates or checkpoints, and can be manually or automatically activated when necessary.

The construction of tyre killers ensures their durability and effectiveness. The spikes are usually made of hardened steel or other robust materials, designed to withstand the weight and impact of vehicles driving over them. They are often angled or sloped to ensure maximum penetration of the tire and minimize the risk of the spike becoming stuck or dislodged.

When a vehicle drives over a set of tyre killers, the spikes penetrate the tires, causing rapid deflation. This immobilizes the vehicle and makes it difficult, if not impossible, for the driver to continue driving. Tyre killers are particularly effective at stopping vehicles that attempt to bypass security checkpoints at high speeds, as the sudden deflation of the tires can cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

Tyre killers can be manually operated by security personnel who activate them using a control panel or lever, or they can be integrated with automated systems. In automated systems, sensors or vehicle recognition systems detect unauthorized vehicles and trigger the activation of the tyre killers. This allows for quick and efficient response times and minimizes the risk of human error.

While tyre killers are effective security devices, precautions should be taken to ensure the safety of authorized personnel and vehicles. Clear signage and warnings should be in place to notify drivers of their presence to prevent accidents. Regular maintenance and inspection are also necessary to ensure the proper functioning of the spikes and the overall integrity of the device.
