Ten, foot-long spikes. NOT, 10 foot long, spikes. Or something like that.

I’m just trying to figure out why a porcelain factory would have such a device in the first place?

Actually it’s a matter of hyphenation, and the journalist got it right (probably by chance).
10 foot-long steel spikes were what got the worker, not 10-foot-long steel spikes.

Actually the number of spikes is a count, not a measurement, so it would be, ten foot-long spikes, or to be sure of no confusion, ten 1-ft-long spikes.
