What Is the Stinger Spike Tire Deflation System?
The Stinger Spike Tire Deflation System is a portable vehicle control solution designed to help authorised security personnel reduce the mobility of vehicles that fail to stop at designated checkpoints. It is widely used by law enforcement agencies, military organisations, border security authorities and professional security teams to support controlled vehicle stopping operations.
The system operates using specially engineered spikes positioned within a portable road spike assembly. When a target vehicle passes over the device, the spikes penetrate the tyres and, depending on the product design, allow the tyre pressure to decrease gradually. This controlled deflation principle is intended to reduce vehicle mobility while supporting a more manageable response by trained personnel.
Unlike permanently installed vehicle barriers, the Stinger Spike Tire Deflation System is portable and can be deployed at temporary checkpoints, border crossings, military facilities, government buildings and other controlled access locations. Its lightweight, modular construction allows authorised operators to transport, deploy and retrieve the system efficiently.
The Stinger Spike system also supports long-term operational use through replaceable spikes, maintenance accessories and modular connection components. After each authorised operation, the system can be inspected, serviced and prepared for future use using compatible replacement parts.
Key advantages include:
-
Portable and rapidly deployable design

Controlled tyre pressure reduction
