Tyre Killers

MECHATRONIX is leading firm in the automation and security field, was established in March 2003.

Tyre Killers – “Mex Killer”

Mechatronix locally fabricated tyre killers named as “MEX-KILLERS” provide highest degree of protection against vehicles. The Tyre killers are the most appropriate solution for unauthorized vehicle access control in order to control the access of vehicles from wrong side. If a vehicle attempts to enter through unauthorized side, the tyre of the vehicle will burst.

Tyre killer spikes are designed in a way that controls the Entry & Exit points of a perimeter. The Outdoor installation is for maximum site security & access control flow. MEX-KILLERs are durable with heavy duty sharp spikes.

Mechatronix offers standard 3 types of tyre hunters with different spike positions & installation. Usually, the raised height of spikes is 76 – 100mm. The load-bearing Capacity of a killer machine is up to 20 tons.

Tyre Killer Types

It is a crash-rated, tested and certified solution for controlling heavy-duty vehicles. The design and construction include heavy steel sections with mild steel skirts and covers. The top plate is a checker sheet anti-slip plate to withstand an axle load of 15-20 tons.

The blocking segment shall be secured into a subsurface mounting frame and will be rotated through 35~ 43 degrees to secure the roadway. On impact, the forces exerted on the blocking segment should be partially absorbed by the structure, with the balance transmitted through the substantial frame and into the reinforced foundations. The segment is designed to absorb/withstand impacts from small and large commercial vehicles like Cars, Vans, SUVs & and other higher chassis vehicles.

More Detailed Information

Surface Mount Tyre Killers

The surface mount tyre killer does not need any civil work or mounting depth. These can be quickly mounted without any site preparation. These are designed with a ramp, either rounded or to some degree. Surface mounts are the best choice for most of the sites where civil work or installation can be difficult. This is a heavy-duty designed structure that prevents unauthorized vehicle access to secure the perimeter.

These are the most suitable choices for Zero maintenance and ease of operation. These tyre killers are maintenance-free and spring-free. The spikes either work separately or are joined with a single connected bar. Mechanical tyre killers’ default position is raised. Vehicle Entry through an unauthorized side can strongly damage the vehicle tyres. The spikes can be lowered altogether when required.

Fixed Tyre Killer

These tyre killers are operated by an electric unit. Electronically operated tyre killers work smooth and fast. They can stop a high-speed vehicle with even a tonnage of weight. The controlling drive unit is hydraulic, and in case of power failure, fixed killers can be lifted or lowered manually with an electric motor. Normally, the raising and lowering time is around 3 Seconds. The time can be adjusted for sensitive or emergency situations. The electric motorized unit can be integrated with a wide range of access control devices.

Operation and Maintenance

Tyre killer have two modes; Armed and Unarmed. In the Armed mode, the spikes are raised so they damage the vehicle tires coming from the wrong/not allowed side whereas in unarmed mode, the spikes are lowered so the tyre killer allows the vehicles to pass in both directions.

User can switch between the two modes of the tyre killer by moving the lever in the box attached at one side. Spikes of the tyre killer should be checked for free and obstruction free movement using manual up and down movement through the lever. There should be no pebble, shopper or any other obstruction in the mechanical parts of the tyre killer.
