Barrier arms and gates built for lots that never stop moving.
Spike Systems designs and manufactures vehicle control hardware, including drop-arm barriers, magnetic gate arms, crash-rated barrier gates, and tiger teeth barriers, for commercial, municipal, and government facilities, including rental car operations. Their equipment shows up constantly in the field because it is built for exactly the kind of continuous, high-cycle use a rental facility puts it through. Industrial-grade steel, components rated for decades of service, and real-world field performance back up the claim, not just lab specs.
How We Work Together
Passway's gate controllers integrate with Spike's drop-arm barriers and magnetic gate arms the way they do with other access-control-ready hardware: a relay-driven trigger signal fires the instant a credential is approved, so the arm lifts the moment Passway clears a vehicle. There is no separate control box and no manual override needed at the booth. Spike's Drop Arm Barrier line is built to accept exactly this kind of third-party trigger, with support for external access control integration and customizable control logic, which is what makes the pairing reliable in the field, not just on paper.
