TOUGHTRACKS could fall under two eligible categories:

  • Anti-Slip or Trip Items – TOUGHTRACKS has a tested P5 anti-slip rating
  • On the Job Site – It functions as a purpose-built access ramp

Disclaimer: Because TOUGHTRACKS is a new product and hasn’t been claimed under this rebate before, I believe in my experience that it should qualify but it’s always best to confirm your eligibility with your accountant or a qualified advisor .
