It can also be flipped to a low-profile surface for pedestrian use at events.TuffTrak is easy to transport, non-conductive, and chemically inert, making it ideal for eco-sensitive and high-risk areas like heritage sites and powerline projects. Steel-reinforced connection points and quick-fit bolts simplify installation for a stable setup.
