The Align Pilates Half Cadillac Frame is a stainless steel tower that adds swing through bar, roll down bar and spring work to a reformer, bringing most of the Cadillac repertoire onto one machine.
It fits the A2 and A8-Pro, the C1-Pro, C2-Pro, C2-Pro RC, C8-Pro and C8-S, and the M2 and M8 reformers. Each series needs its own Half Cadillac Bracket. With the Wall Bracket instead, the tower mounts on a solid wall and works without a reformer.
The tower is sold as the frame only. The bracket or wall bracket and the reformer are separate purchases.
What's Included:
- Half Cadillac stainless steel frame
- Swing through bar with quick release safety strap
- Roll down bar
- 1 pair of foot straps
- 1 pair of hand handles
- 2 pairs of rapid adjust double eyelet spring holders
- 8 carabiners and 8 double ended dog clips
- 8 springs: four 47 cm standard and four 64 cm long
Features
Bolts onto A, M and C reformers
A bracket made for each reformer series holds the tower at the riser end, and it works with any of the available leg heights.
Adjustable swing through bar
The aluminium swing through bar changes height with pull knobs, and a quick adjust safety strap holds it when springs load it from below.
Sliding spring eyelets
Four sliding holders lock into set holes on the uprights, with eyelets on both faces so springs can pull from either direction.
Roll down bar and 8 springs
A roll down bar and eight springs in two lengths come in the box. Other 47 cm spring strengths match those used on Align reformers.
Use it against a wall
Add the Half Cadillac Wall Bracket to fix the tower to a solid wall and train without a reformer.

Installation
Check the ceiling first
Inserting the tower needs 2.45 m of ceiling on 40 cm legs and 2.75 m on 64 cm legs. On A2 series reformers the legs can be removed, the tower fitted and the legs refitted if the room is lower.
Fit the bracket, then the tower
Attach the series bracket with the supplied tools, loosen the grub screws, then with a helper slide the frame into the brackets and tighten two grub screws per bracket.
Clip on springs and safety strap
Use carabiners where springs meet the frame and dog clips near the hands. The safety strap must be fitted whenever springs load the swing through bar from underneath.

Warranty, Shipping and Returns
Align-Pilates stands behind this equipment with a limited manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship for the original purchaser. The length of cover depends on the product and its use, so contact us and we will confirm the terms that apply before you place the order. The warranty does not extend to normal wear, misuse, modification or cosmetic marks.
Shipping
Shipping is free within the United States. Align-Pilates dispatches in-stock orders from its North American warehouse within two business days of the order being confirmed, and reformers, cadillacs, chairs and barrels travel on a freight pallet to protect them in transit. The carrier contacts you to arrange delivery, which is to the curb, so plan for two people to bring the boxes inside. Most orders arrive in 1 to 3 weeks; we send tracking as soon as it is issued.
Inspect on delivery
Check every box before signing. Note any damage on the delivery receipt, photograph it and contact us within 48 hours so a replacement can be arranged.
Returns
Large equipment, meaning reformers, cadillacs, chairs and ladder barrels, is not returnable under the manufacturer's policy. Measure the room and read the specifications carefully before you order, and ask us if anything is unclear. Anything that arrives damaged, faulty or wrong is replaced through Align-Pilates when reported within 48 hours of delivery, and you can cancel at no cost before the order ships.
About Align-Pilates
Align-Pilates is a British equipment brand built around modular Pilates studios. Most of its reformers accept a half cadillac frame, and several stack or stand on end for storage, which is why it is common in boutique studios and physiotherapy clinics as well as at home. Its equipment reaches North America through Kloz Inc, the exclusive distributor.
The Pilates Works is an authorised Align-Pilates reseller, so your equipment arrives new with its full warranty and we deal with the distributor on your behalf.
