Smart Tyre Killers: Defend Against Vehicle Threats
In an era where security risks are increasingly unpredictable, protecting critical infrastructure, personnel, and property has never been more essential. For locations where controlled vehicle access is a top priority, Australian Bollards’ Tyre Killer Spike Barrier System offers an intelligent, robust, and immediate solution. These barriers are specifically engineered to stop unauthorised vehicles in their tracks, acting as both a powerful and responsive security measure for high-risk areas.
Our team installed an Automatic Tyre Killer System (AB-TK-SB) at a major warehouse facility in Arndell Park, NSW—home to logistics operations for Coles, Americold, and Greenbox. The installation serves as a prime example of how our solutions are tailored to protect high-traffic sites. The system is designed to control entry and exit using retractable steel spikes that are triggered by access control systems. If an unauthorised vehicle attempts to enter, the spikes rise to puncture the tyres and bring the vehicle to an immediate stop—preventing intrusion before it reaches sensitive zones.
Engineered for Critical Applications
Australian Bollards' Tyre Killer Spike Barrier is suited for a wide range of environments including warehouses, industrial parks, data centres, airports, stadiums, correctional facilities, and military bases. It provides instant response capability without relying on active personnel, reducing the risk of human error in time-sensitive scenarios. The system integrates seamlessly with bollards, boom gates, CCTV, and number plate recognition.
With both manual and automatic operation modes, the Tyre Killer can be adapted to suit different operational needs and traffic patterns. In high-traffic or 24/7 facilities, the automatic version provides seamless control through sensors or remote activation. For more restricted or temporary access points, manual access control offers a simpler yet equally effective deterrent.
Built for Reliability and Durability
Constructed using heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant materials, the Tyre Killer Spike Barrier is designed to withstand Australia’s demanding weather conditions and rigorous use. Its high visibility not only increases safety for authorised users but also acts as a visual deterrent against potential threats. Available in in-ground or surface-mounted designs, the barrier can be installed to suit a range of site conditions and infrastructure layouts.
With stopping power strong enough to halt even heavy commercial vehicles, this system is ideal for securing a wide range of vehicle access points.
Safety, Control, and Peace of Mind
Security is no longer just about blocking intruders—it’s about having the tools to control access precisely, react instantly, and operate confidently. The Tyre Killer Spike Barrier system is a proactive safety solution that helps protect lives, infrastructure, and operations with minimal disruption. It represents a powerful upgrade for any facility needing high-assurance vehicle control at sensitive access points.
Australian Bollards continues to lead the way in perimeter protection through advanced, Australian-made solutions built on decades of industry experience. From hostile vehicle mitigation to access control systems, our range is trusted across government, commercial, and industrial sectors.
