Public Safety Tool: The MagnumSpike!™ TDD is the only engineered system on the market to safely and more swiftly deflate all tires including the new self-sealing and run-flat tires. Decreasing chase time increases officer safety, saves lives and prevents property damage.
Safety, Simplicity of Use: The key objective in designing the patented MagnumSpike!™ is safety and ease of use. This U.S.-made 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!™ has a 100% safety record since day one!
Predictable Safe Stops: The MagnumSpike!™ is the only TDD spike that is designed to safely and swiftly end high speed pursuits consistently within a predictable short distance. It gives control back to the officers over an extremely dangerous situation, preventing property damage and safeguarding the lives of law enforcement officers, innocent bystanders and the occupants of the pursued vehicle.
Quickest Controlled Safe Stops: The MagnumSpike!™ three-cornered spike and choke-proof design has been engineered to end the chase in seconds. This is important because 50 percent of all pursuit collisions occur during the first two minutes of a pursuit, according to a report of the National law Enforcement & Corrections Technology Center.
NIJ Tested: State-of-the-art, instant deployment, portable MagnumSpike!™ system is the only one on the market to consistently stop vehicles equipped with the new self-sealing and run flat tires. Seven tests of tire deflation devices by the National Institute of Justice showed MagnumSpike!™ is prepared for the tire technology of tomorrow, stopping all vehicles equipped with self-sealing and run-flat tires.
Any Model Stops ’Em All: 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 sub compacts to semis.
Chase, No-Chase Policies: The MagnumSpike!™ tire deflation system can be used even in large departments with restrictive or no-chase policies. Used in conjunction with their instant communications, the MagnumSpike!™ tire spike gives officers the confidence to act quickly and safely, stopping suspects in their tracks, thereby avoiding a potentially dangerous high-speed chase.
Best Value & Service: The MagnumSpike!™ is the ultimate solution to all of your high speed pursuit problems. It is far superior in every way and at a price that is substantially lower than any other tire deflation device on the market. This allows you to stretch your budget and equip more squad and patrol cars. And our after sales service cannot be beaten.
Best Warranty: Our warranty is free of any fine print, no ifs, ands, or buts. Any and all components, including spikes, are guaranteed for five years while in use and replaced free of charge.
