1603 AutoSpikes
Product Information
The DoorKing 1603 AutoSpikes is a modular traffic control system that integrates a barrier gate operator with automated surface-mounted traffic spikes. Designed for applications requiring enhanced security and traffic management, such as parking lots, rental car agencies, schools, car dealerships, and government facilities, the 1603 system offers a higher degree of vehicle access control. The spikes are mechanically linked to the barrier arm, ensuring synchronized operation. The surface-mounted design allows for easy installation without the need for trenching or excavation. However, it’s important to note that installation and use in areas subject to freezing weather with potential snow and ice accumulation is not recommended, as the units can freeze in the up position, potentially causing unintended damage or injury due to the inability for the spikes to retract
