SCH MMU Manege Maintenance Unit

Effective Care for Equestrian Surfaces: SCH MMU Manège Maintenance Unit

Keeping an arena in good condition requires regular grooming to prevent the footing from becoming compacted or uneven. The SCH MMU Manège Maintenance Unit makes this routine work straightforward, helping create a consistent surface for horses and riders.

Designed for sand and fibre and sand and rubber arenas, this tow-behind unit carries out several maintenance tasks in one pass. It has a simple, robust construction that makes it very well suited to frequent use.

Convenient Tow-Behind Design

The SCH MMU offers plenty of flexibility when it comes to the vehicle used for arena maintenance. Its free-floating design allows towing behind a suitable 4×4, ATV, or tractor.

As the unit moves across the arena, it follows the surface to provide effective grooming. At just 28 kg, it remains manageable while maintaining good contact with the footing.

The MMU maintenance unit arrives fully assembled. This means there is no time-consuming construction required before you can put it to work.

Loosen Compacted Footing

Once regular riding begins to compact the arena surface, the MMU’s front spring tines come into action. These depth-controlled tines lift and ted the upper layer of material.

Working the footing in this way helps relieve compaction and rejuvenate the riding surface. The operating depth can be adjusted to match the conditions, allowing more controlled maintenance.

This approach makes the MMU suitable for routine care across a range of equestrian environments.

Create a Consistent Finish

Loosening the surface is only part of effective arena maintenance. Once the tines have worked the material, two rear bars level it behind the machine.

This leaves the footing smoother and more consistent across the riding area. Both processes take place during the same pass, helping make regular maintenance more efficient.

The standard SCH MMU has a working width of 48 inches (1,220 mm). This provides useful coverage without making the machine cumbersome to handle.

Tackle Build-Up Along Kicking Boards

Material can gradually accumulate around the perimeter of an arena, particularly beside kicking boards. If left untouched, these raised areas can reduce the usable width of the riding surface.

To address this, the SCH MMU includes a removable side blade. It draws accumulated material away from the edge, allowing it to be returned to the main arena surface.

This feature has uses beyond equestrian maintenance too. The side blade can redistribute shingle along paths, increasing the versatility of the machine around an estate or equestrian facility.

Reliable British-Built Construction

SCH manufactures its equipment in Suffolk, with a focus on robust construction and dependable service. Its machinery is designed to withstand regular work while keeping maintenance requirements straightforward.

The MMU maintenance unit reflects this practical approach. Its uncomplicated construction makes it a reliable choice for riding schools, equestrian centres, private yards, and other facilities requiring consistent arena care.

Keep Your Riding Surface in Shape
