One-way by default. Two-way on command.
Teeth stay up to keep the exit an exit. Press a button, swipe a fob or let the gate arm decide, and they drop flat so deliveries, guests and fire trucks roll right in.

How it works/ 01
Up when you're closed. Down when you're not.
Motorized spikes behave like fixed one-way spikes until you tell them otherwise. A motor lowers every tooth flat on command and raises them again when the lane closes.
- 01
Armed
Teeth stand up and work like fixed one-way spikes. Right-way traffic rolls over, wrong-way traffic stops.
- 02
On command
Keypad, fob, guard button or the gate arm tells the motor to drop every tooth flat. A mechanical switch confirms they're down before the light turns green.
- 03
Re-arm
When the lane closes, the teeth rise and the light goes red. The exit is an exit again.
Built for/ 02
Some lanes need
a second direction.
Deliveries in the morning, residents out all day, a fire truck whenever it needs one. Motorized spikes let one lane do both jobs safely.

Do you really need motorized?
If the lane is always one-way, probably not. Here's when it pays for itself.
