Safe and Easy to Use
The STINGER device is designed for quick, reliable operation. A simple pull
on the handle or a toss is all it takes to position the spikes. 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. And, after spiking, a simple yank on the handle quickly
retracts the unit, clearing the road for pursuit vehicles and other traffic.
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. At the initial contact, the
assembly automatically rocks toward the tire, pointing
the spikes directly at the tread, allowing the full length of the spike to be
used for penetration. And as the spikes pivot into the tire, the safety tip
guards are pushed down. The assembly continues to rotate with the motion of
the vehicle, driving the spikes deeply into the tire. The hollow spikes control
the tire deflation rate, preventing a blowout and sudden loss of control. The
|
|
rolling tire then tilts the spike system in the opposite direction, allowing the
spikes to pull completely out of the assembly. With the next rotation they are
pushed fully into the tire – leaving no debris on the roadway. A tire typically
picks up 4-6 spikes and deflates in 12-20 seconds.

STINGER Models
All STINGER models incorporate a reusable modular base, with moulded sections
built of high-strength, resilient synthetic polymer, which stands up to hard
use under the harshest conditions. The base is designed to endure numerous
pursuits and has withstood impacts in excess of 130mph. If, however, a unit is
damaged, the individual sections are easily replaceable. And the connecting hardware
is stainless steel for long life. The individual spikes are made of 304-T7 stainless
steel for superior strength and effective tire penetration. All STINGER SPIKE SYSTEMS
are supplied with replacement spikes, spike safety guards, a spike replacement tool,
and a quick-deployment carrying case. Standard STINGER SPIKE SYSTEMS are available in
two different lengths to handle a variety of situations. 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 XL model employs 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 system extends to 15.5-feet for use on multi-lane roads.
Reusable to Control Cost
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.
RAT-TRAP II
Reduce your liability by preventing pursuits before they happen. The pocket-sized RAT-TRAP® II
tire deflator is perfect for neutralizing a vehicle from being used to flee authorities.
Simply open the device and place it under the tire of an unoccupied, stationary vehicle.
Any attempt to drive the vehicle will immediately deflate the tire, eliminating the possibility
of a high-speed getaway attempt. RAT-TRAP tire deflators are constructed of a high-strength polymer,
and the stainless steel spikes can be replaced after the unit is used.
