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.
