Properly Renovating and Maintaining MTB Trails, Bicycle Trails, and Hiking Trails.
Well-maintained Bicycle Paths, Hiking Trails, and Bike Trails Today, they are much more than just recreational facilities.
For tourism regions, municipalities, bike parks, and lift operators, they are an essential part of what they offer—and are therefore directly relevant to Guest satisfaction, safety, quality of stay, and the appeal of a destination.
However, heavily used trails suffer from erosion, potholes, washed-out sections, loose rocks, and root intrusion. Added to this are heavy rain events and increasingly variable weather conditions.
Therefore, anyone who wants to keep roads in good condition over the long term must regularly repair and maintain them—as efficiently as possible and with minimal closures.

This is precisely where one of the core competencies of PTH: Efficient road construction—milling, crushing, and mixing existing material directly on site and reusing it for further construction.
The goal: Fewer material transfers, fewer material changes, and greater efficiency right on the track.
Road Construction Expertise for Virtually Any Equipment Carrier
PTH does not offer a single solution for professional trail and path construction, but rather a variety of machine classes designed for a wide range of carrier vehicles—from small tractors to wheel loaders and farm loaders, all the way to radio-controlled crawlers, ride-on crawlers, and mini excavators.
This makes it possible to rehabilitate trails even in areas where space, access, or steep slopes limit the use of conventional heavy machinery.
PTH MicroCrusher – Compact and versatile
The PTH MicroCrusher is available with PTO drive and hydraulic power. It combines rock crushing, milling, mulching, and mixing in a single compact attachment.
This makes it particularly suitable for:
- Bicycle and Hiking Trails
- narrow driveways
- municipal roads
- minor trail construction work
- Embankments and Reclamation Areas
Depending on the model, the MicroCrusher can be attached to, among other things, Small tractors, wheel loaders, farm loaders, and hydraulic implement carriers can be used.
USP: Genuine rock-crushing technology in a compact performance class.
PTH TrailCrusher – specifically for trail building and maintenance
The PTH TrailCrusher It was developed for professional trail building and has been used successfully for several seasons in Europe's leading bike parks.
Powered by hydraulic or PTO-driven crawler tracks, it processes existing material directly on the right-of-way. Rocks are crushed, the subgrade is milled, and the material is mixed.
Especially for Bike parks, MTB trails, and hiking trails This offers an important advantage:
Any debris left on the trail stays there.
Thanks to its flexible adjustment options, it adapts to existing trails or sets the tone for the design.
USP: Developed in collaboration with leading bike parks and shapers. Focus on efficiency, wear optimization, and results. Has been a success in Europe for several seasons.
PTH Excavator Crusher EC-S – Trail maintenance with a mini excavator
With the PTH Excavator Crusher EC-S The mini excavator becomes a compact tool for trail maintenance and path restoration.
The EC-S is designed for mini excavators weighing approximately 2 to 5 metric tons and combines:
- Stone crusher
- Milling machine
- Mulcher
- Optional leveling function
This makes it particularly suitable for Narrow trails, hiking trails, bike paths, embankments, ski lift routes, and hard-to-reach sections.
USP: Genuine rock-crushing technology in a class of machinery that is already in use in many tourist regions, municipalities, and service providers.
PTH Crusher 15 – More power for challenging trails
For larger quantities of material or harsher conditions, the PTH Crusher CR15 used.
It is designed for tractors in the 70 to 140 PS range and combines a rock crusher, a tiller, and a mulcher.
Typical applications:
- Forest and Farm Roads
- longer bike and hiking trails
- Access Roads
- Recultivation
- Areas with a higher proportion of rocks or roots
USP: High processing capacity with compact carrier technology.
Take advantage of PTH’s decades of expertise in road construction
For more than 25 years, PTH has been developing machinery for rock breaking, milling, stabilization, road construction, land reclamation, and material processing.
This expertise is particularly evident in situations where standard solutions reach their limits: when dealing with hard rock, wear and tear, difficult terrain, small carrier vehicles, and the need to reuse existing materials as efficiently as possible.
Whether Small tractor, wheel loader, radio-controlled crawler, ride-on crawler, or mini excavator – PTH offers solutions for a wide variety of conditions in the construction of bike paths, hiking trails, and other trails.
Make better use of existing materials. Transport less. Restore roads to service more quickly.
That is precisely where the advantage of PTH solutions lies for Tourism regions, bike parks, municipalities, lift operators, and professional trail builders.
