Barrier Stop

Tire Shredder – Passive Setup

Barrier Stop provides tire spike barrier systems designed to help control vehicle access, discourage unauthorized entry, and enhance perimeter security at commercial, industrial, government, and high-security sites. Commonly used for one-way traffic management, these barriers offer a dependable solution for protecting controlled access points.

Our tire spike barriers are available in both surface-mounted and flush-mounted designs to accommodate different site requirements. Surface-mounted models simplify installation with minimal civil work, while flush-mounted options create a level roadway surface for smoother vehicle movement.

To meet varying operational needs, Barrier Stop offers manual spring-loaded systems as well as electric and hydraulic models for automated access control. Modular sections are available in multiple lengths, allowing each installation to be tailored to specific roadway widths and security applications.
