Stinger Spike Systems
Stinger Spike System allows law enforcement officers to control situations by stopping fleeing vehicles effectively, reliably, and safely. The Stinger Spike System employs high-strength, hollow steel police spike strips that penetrate all types of tires – including self-sealing and run-flats – and deflate them in a regulated manner. The police spike strips prevent blowouts, slow the perpetrator’s vehicle to a safer rate of speed, and allow for a controlled stop. Stinger Spike Systems are effective on all vehicles including cars, trucks, and buses.

Safe and Easy to Use
The Stinger Spike System is designed for quick, reliable operation. A simple pull on the handle or a toss is all it takes to position the police spike strips. The single, accordion-action element deploys almost instantly, giving officers time to take cover. Extra-width road coverage and low visibility minimize avoidance by fleeing suspects. After spiking, a simple yank on the handle quickly retracts the unit, clearing the road for pursuit vehicles and other traffic.

Stinger Models
Standard Stinger Spike Systems are available in three different lengths to handle a variety of situations. The 10-foot Metro model is perfect for narrower urban streets and small country roads. The 15.5-foot Trooper model is wide enough for multi-lane roads and the 25-foot Defender model covers applications such as interstate highways, airport entry gates, military compounds, and security checkpoints.

The stinger spike system XL models employ a longer spike length designed for penetrating thicker tires to safely and quickly end pursuits involving large trucks, farm equipment, and military-type vehicles. The Stinger XL models are available in all three lengths.

Rat-Trap ll
Reduce your liability by preventing pursuits before they happen. The pocket-sized Rat-Trap ll stinger tire deflation device is perfect for neutralizing a vehicle from being used to flee authorities.  Simply open the stinger tire deflation device and place it under the tire of a stationary vehicle. Any attempt to drive the vehicle will immediately deflate the tire, eliminating the possibility of a high-speed getaway attempt.  Rat-Trap ll tire deflators are constructed of a high-strength polymer, and the stainless-steel spikes can be replaced after the unit is used.

Training Support
The latest pursuit policies being enacted by law enforcement agencies call for practical, hands-on training in the use of any stinger tire deflation device. Federal Signal has led the industry in providing such comprehensive training with our Stinger Spike System. In addition to its North American network of certified dealers/instructors, Federal Signal offers classroom materials, training videos, and un-spiked models for training and practice in the proper deployment and retraction of the system.
