Avon Tyre Killers
Avon Tyre Killers
Avon Tyre Killer Barriers are designed for use in high security, high traffic applications. The Tyre Killer and the modular Tyre Killer SHARK are simple to install, highly secure vehicle control barriers; ideally suited for approach entrances to banks, military installations, airports, docks, cash collection depots, government offices or similar.
On approach by an authorised vehicle, the Tyre Killer teeth retract below ground level and are completely unobtrusive, parallel to the road surface, providing safe access for the vehicle. When the vehicle has passed, the teeth return to the active position, ensuring total protection from unauthorised vehicle intrusion. They can support wheeled vehicles with a load bearing capacity up to bridge class SLW 60.
This product is only available for export outside of the UK and the EU.

Product overview
Avon Tyre Killers and SHARK are available in widths of up to 6m metres. The SHARK consists of coupled blocking modules. As standard both our Avon Tyre Killer and Avon Tyre Killer SHARK are supplied with a three position keyswitch positioned in the drive column. however other access control options are available.
This is a specialist security product and is designed for use with vehicles only and a full site risk assessment must be carried out at design stage to ensure that all relevant safety systems are included.
We recommend that the Tyre Killer is used in conjunction with a rising arm barrier and additional safety devices are used to prevent the barrier operating when an authorised vehicle is stationary over the teeth.
