Welcome to the Stinger Spikes Page

Federal Signal Trooper Spike System

The Stinger Spike System employs high strength, hollow steel spikes that penetrate all types of tires - including self-sealing and run-flats - and deflate them in a regulated manner. This prevents blowouts, slows the perpetrator's vehicle to a safer speed, and allows him or her to make a controlled stop. The Stinger spikes are effective on all types of vehicles, including cars, trucks and buses. FREE lifetime spike replacement guarantee. Includes the carrying case shown in the picture to the left, 10 replacement spikes and 10 rubber spike covers.

The Stinger Rock and Tilt Mechanism

The Stinger Spike System uses patented technology to ensure effective tire penetration. A typical chase intervention flattens one to four tires, safely slowing and stopping the vehicle in just minutes.

Reusable One Piece Pre-Assembled System

Stinger Spike Systems can be quickly readied for re-use by simply replacing the pulled spikes. Each unit is supplied with replacement spikes, safety guards, and an insertion tool. And when Stinger systems are deployed in the line of duty, Federal Signal provides replacement spikes at no charge - just by calling 1-800-STINGER for a free spike replacement certificate.

Curbside Deployment:

Pick up unit by rocker arms, not sides. Bend over, holding unit about ankle height. With swinging motion, slide unit across roadway. Pull rope to position unit. Take cover, unwinding rope on the way. Drop rope. After unit is run over, retrieve system by pulling rope handle.

Pull Method:

Place unit on roadside with rope side facing road. Unwrap several turns of rope from spool. With one hand holding rope, drop spool. Carefully cross lanes of traffic, allowing rope to unwind from spool. Make sure rope lies flat on pavement. When suspect car arrives, pull unit across road. Drop rope once unit is in position. After the spike system is run over, retrieve system by pulling rope handle.

WARNINGS:

This device is only for use by trained law enforcement officers. Spikes are extremely sharp and should remain covered with tip guards. Always handle spike systems with care. When deploying by "pull" method align unit and rope slightly past right angle to road to keep rope taut. Hold rope by spool handle only. Do not hold rope in hand or wrap around wrist or hand while unit is run over. Serious injury could result in the event system gets caught up with vehicle. High speed vehicles may toss road debris. Wear safety glasses to protect eyes. Pick up any spilled spikes. If stepped on they can roll and could cause falls.
