When seconds count, there’s no time to measure the spikes in your tyre deflation device and wonder if they’re up to the task. With today’s tyre technology, not only the spike size, but also superior design makes the difference.You do not need a different model for larger vehicles as required by our competition. Any of our models can stop all vehicles from small saloons to articulated HGV’s.
- Safety”, Deployment, Simplicity of Use: The key objective in designing the patented MagnumSpike is safety and ease of use. The system is very easy to handle and can be deployed in seconds under any weather conditions or road surfaces. It allows officers complete control of the situation without exposing themselves to dangerous traffic. MagnumSpike! is proud of its 100 percent safety record since day one! Many patrol vehicles place the MS16 MagnumSpike behind the co driver’s feet on the floor of the vehicle, this allows the system to be deployed seconds after the patrol vehicle stops saving valuable seconds rather than extracting the system from the vehicle boot.
- Every Hit a Successful Stop: The fully assembled, portable system works 100 percent under all conditions and circumstances. Every HIT is a STOP. You do not need a different model for larger vehicles. The same system can stop all vehicles from small to heavy vehicles.
- Warranty: Our warranty is free of any fine print, no ifs or buts. Any and all components, including spikes, are guaranteed for five years while in use and replaced free of charge.
