Federal Signal has led the industry in providing such comprehensive training with our Stinger Spike System. The latest pursuit policies being enacted by law enforcement agencies call for practical, hands-on training in the use of any tire deflation device. 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. Any attempt to drive the vehicle will immediately deflate the tire, eliminating the possibility of a high-speed getaway attempt. Simply open the device and place it under the tire of a stationary vehicle.

The pocket-sized Rat-Trap ll tire deflator is perfect for neutralizing a vehicle from being used to flee authorities. Reduce your liability by preventing pursuits before they happen. The Stinger XL models are available in all three lengths. The Stinger 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 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 10-foot Metro model is perfect for narrower urban streets and small country roads. Standard Stinger Spike Systems are available in three different lengths to handle a variety of situations. After spiking, a simple yank on the handle quickly retracts the unit, clearing the road for pursuit vehicles and other traffic. Extra-width road coverage and low visibility minimize avoidance by fleeing suspects.

The single, accordion-action element deploys almost instantly, giving officers time to take cover. A simple pull on the handle or a toss is all it takes to position the spikes. The Stinger Spike System is designed for quick, reliable operation. Stinger Spike Systems are effective on all vehicles including cars, trucks, and buses. This prevents blowouts, slows the perpetrator’s vehicle to a safer rate of speed, and allows for a controlled stop. 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. Stinger Spike System allows law enforcement officers to control situations by stopping fleeing vehicles effectively, reliably, and safely.
