Modular GNSS/Laser trailed land leveller SB series - Fontana
Fontana's patented central-pivot carriage and modular working widths from 6 to 8 m.

The SB series comprises 6, 7 and 8 m modular trailed land levellers for precision grading in agriculture, earthmoving and large industrial areas. Its defining Fontana feature is the patented central-pivot carriage, designed to support blade stability and grade maintenance. Designed and manufactured in Italy with specialist build expertise and premium materials selected without compromise.

Main applications
- Precision agricultural land levelling over extensive fields.
- Earthmoving and preparation of large surfaces.
- Industrial yards, buildings, roads, sports fields and airports.
- Cross-slope work when equipped with the dual-mast or dedicated automatic system.

Main advantages
- The central-pivot carriage contributes to blade stability, consistent operation and grade maintenance.
- Modular configurations from 6 to 8 m allow each machine to be adapted to the area and required output.
- Automatic hydraulic folding reduces width to 2.55 m without fitting pins, bolts or tie rods, simplifying operational transfers.
- Hydraulic tilt correction and blade-pitch adjustment let the operator correct machine attitude and adapt blade action to working conditions.
- Italian design and manufacturing, specialist build expertise and premium materials selected without compromise contribute to reliability, operating continuity and long service life.
- Laser or GNSS/GPS RTK configuration lets the customer select the control system best suited to the project and ground geometry.

Why Choose Fontana
- Easier transfers: automatic folding brings the machine to 2.55 m; approval and road-use conditions depend on specification and market.
- More modularity for each machine: SB 700 and SB 800 offer multiple working widths for different operating contexts.
- Higher productivity: 6 to 8 m blades, precision control and stability help cover large areas with fewer corrective passes.
- Potentially lower operating costs: modularity and automatic folding reduce machine changes, manual operations and logistical downtime.
- Fontana's identity is rooted in the farming background of its founder, Aurelio Fontana. His first-hand understanding of growers' needs continues to guide the development of practical, reliable machines for harvesting, tillage and land levelling, built to perform in real field conditions.
- Long-term value: technical assistance and spare-parts support for machines purchased many years ago help extend operating life.

Full description
The SB series comprises modular trailed land levellers for precision work over large agricultural, industrial and earthmoving areas. SB 600 works at 6.00 m, SB 700 at 7.00 or 6.00 m and SB 800 at 8.00, 7.00 or 6.00 m, allowing each machine to be adapted to the area and required output. Control can be configured with Laser or GNSS/GPS RTK technology to match the project.

Fontana's patented central-pivot carriage supports blade stability and grade maintenance. Hydraulic tilt correction, blade-pitch adjustment and the receiver mast allow the machine to be adapted to operating conditions. The 140 cm high blade folds automatically forwards to a width of 2.55 m without requiring the manual fitting of pins, bolts or tie rods.

Designed and manufactured in Italy with specialist build expertise and premium materials selected without compromise, the SB series is built for reliability, operating continuity and long service life. Standard equipment includes eight 40 cm wide wheels, a tractor-powered hydraulic system, lighting, four electric diverter valves and the Fontana three-joint drawbar. Options configure each machine for cross slopes, greater support capacity, independent hydraulics, proportional control and specific transfer requirements.
