SCH MMU Manege Maintenance Unit (MMU)

SCH MMU Manège Maintenance Unit: An Invaluable Tool for Maintaining Arenas and Riding Surfaces

Designed for regular arena care, the SCH MMU Manège Maintenance Unit provides a practical way to keep equestrian surfaces in excellent condition. It helps relieve compaction, redistribute material, and create consistent footing for horses and riders.

Suitable for sand and fibre or sand and rubber surfaces, the MMU combines several grooming tasks in one pass. Its free-floating design also makes it simple to tow behind a suitable vehicle.

Restore and Refresh Arena Surfaces

Regular use can cause riding surfaces to become compacted or uneven. The SCH MMU helps counter these problems by working and redistributing the top layer.

At the front, a row of depth-controlled spring tines lifts and tedders the surface. This loosens compacted material and helps restore the footing without excessive disruption. The working depth can be controlled to suit the conditions. This makes the machine suitable for routine arena maintenance across a range of equestrian surfaces.

Level the Surface as You Work

Once the spring tines have worked the material, two rear bars complete the grooming process. These level the disturbed surface to create a smoother and more consistent finish.

This combined action allows the MMU maintenance unit to loosen and level the arena during the same operation. It provides an efficient way to maintain a safer, ride-ready surface. With a working width of 1,220 mm (48 inches), the unit offers good coverage while remaining easy to handle.

Keep Material Away from Arena Edges

Loose material often builds up beside kicking boards during regular riding. The SCH MMU tackles this issue with a removable side blade. This blade gathers material from the arena perimeter so it can be worked back into the main riding area. Removing these ridges helps maintain a more even surface across the full width of the arena.

The blade also gives the MMU useful versatility away from equestrian surfaces. It can be used to redistribute shingle on paths, making it suitable for additional maintenance work.

Flexible Tow-Behind Operation

The SCH MMU Manège Maintenance Unit features a free-floating design and can be towed behind a 4×4, ATV, or tractor. This gives owners and grounds teams plenty of choice when selecting a suitable towing vehicle.

Its 28 kg weight keeps the unit manageable while providing effective contact with the surface. The straightforward design makes the MMU a practical, low-maintenance choice for regular grooming.
