The real secret to great trails lies beneath the tires

MB Crusher attachments, notably the MB-HDS207 shaft screener, are integral in preparing mountain bike trail surfaces, enhancing their durability and consistency by processing materials directly on site. Italian specialist Tasso Trail employs these screeners mounted on Caterpillar mini excavators to prepare trail bases by screening excavated soil, minimizing the need for additional imported aggregates. This method reduces environmental impact, supporting sustainability especially in remote or sensitive areas, by lessening truck movements and utilizing on-site resources. The technique not only ensures efficient trail construction with uniform terrain for better comfort and safety, but also extends contractors' capabilities beyond conventional construction methods. The approach underlines the importance of a proper foundation in trail-building, ensuring trails are long-lasting and require minimal maintenance, drawing parallels to the methods used in road construction.
