Frequently Asked Questions



Where are ROADSHARK products made?

Our traffic spikes are made in Winnipeg, Canada. The ROADSHARK team has been making high quality traffic security equipment since 2006.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes. Additional shipping fees and customs fees may apply.

Are there any import or customs fees for shipping to USA?

Aside from a small brokerage fee factored into your order’s total shipping cost, there are no additional import/customs fees.

Can you lock down the blades on a ROADSHARK traffic barrier?

Yes. Each individual segment of any non-electric ROADSHARK model can be locked down with the center bolt.

Our proprietary Lock-down feature is located at the top of the unit. It consists of a patented threaded mechanism that is turned down and lowers the blades. A wrench or impact wrench (recommended) with a 3/4″ socket is all you need to use the lock-down feature.

What is the clearance height of ROADSHARK traffic barriers?

Clearance height is measured from ground surface to the tip of the barrier blades.

The maximum blade height is 3.75” for our speed-bump style TigerTeeth models (TT36, TT48).

The maximum blade height is 4.25” for our speed-bump style SM models (SM36, SM48, SM Electric).

The height of all surface mount (speed bump) units with blades lowered is 2.06″. The top portion of the cover-plate does not have exposed bolt heads or other protrusions that would catch on low vehicles or trailer hitches.

The maximum blade height is 4” for our in-ground ‘Low Profile’ models (LPC/LPS, LP Electric).

I need to install a traffic barrier in a region that experiences cold winters/seasonal snowfall. Will ROADSHARK traffic barriers work in these conditions?

Yes. We offer a heat-trace cable as an optional add-on for customers in cold climates.

Once connected to power and placed into the ROADSHARK system, the self-regulating cable emits heat when ambient temperatures reach a specific threshold, melting ice/frost and allowing full functionality of the spikes.

Can I buy Roadshark products from another distributor?

Our products are available through a network of contractors and distributors or you can purchase directly from us in most circumstances.

Can I buy Roadshark products through GSA or other govt or military program?

Roadshark International Inc. works with Quantico Tactical (NC USA) and AGL Advanced Government Logistics (NC USA) and other Distributors to provide products via GSA and other purchasing programs.
