The Align Pilates Full Cadillac Frame is the stainless steel upper structure of a full Cadillac. It carries the trapeze, roll down bar, swing through bar and sliding spring eyelets, so a single bed can host the full Cadillac repertoire.
The frame can sit on one of two foundations. Pair it with the Align Cadillac Base Frame to build a standalone A2 style Cadillac, or mount it over a C2-Pro or C8-Pro reformer. It does not fit the C1 or C8-S.
This listing is the frame only. The base frame, reformer, brackets and leg extensions are sold separately, so check the compatibility notes below before ordering.
What's Included:
Full Cadillac stainless steel upper frame with uprights and sliding cross bars
Trapeze with fluffy foot support
Roll down bar and swing through bar with safety strap
1 pair of fuzzy handles
1 pair of foot straps
1 pair of hand handles
2 pairs of rapid adjust double eyelet spring holders
12 music wire springs in 47 cm and 64 cm lengths, including a very strong pair for the trapeze
Carabiners and double ended dog clips
Features
Stainless steel upper frame Every upright and cross bar is stainless steel rather than chrome plated steel, which resists corrosion in a busy studio.
Trapeze on sliding cross bars The trapeze hangs from a carriage that slides along the top rails and locks with knobs. It comes with an adjustable sling and padded spring covers.
Five position swing through bar The aluminium swing through bar sets at five heights and is held by a quick release safety strap when sprung from below.
Sliding eyelets and roll down bar Two pairs of sliding eyelets let springs attach at many heights, and a maple roll down bar hangs at the foot end.
Works with the Platform Extender On a reformer, the Platform Extender and Mattress Converter fill the bed so the Cadillac can be used as a flat table.

Installation
Plan the ceiling and helpers Align asks for at least two people to unpack and assemble, and 2.45 m of height to slot the uprights into the frame.
Fit the uprights and top frame Loosen the grub screws, insert the head end and foot end uprights, then add the corner caps, cross bars and trapeze carriage and bolt them together.
Add bars, springs and safety strap Mount the swing through bar on its risers, attach the trapeze and springs using carabiners at the frame and dog clips at the hand end, then fit the safety strap before first use.

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.

Model
This OneAlign Pilates Full Cadillac Frame for A and C Series Reformers
Which Align equipment does the Full Cadillac Frame fit?
It fits the Align Cadillac Base Frame and the C2-Pro and C8-Pro reformers. Align lists the C1 and C8-S as not compatible, and its comparison sheet shows the A8-Pro reformer does not take a full Cadillac.
What else do I need to mount it on a C8-Pro or C2-Pro?
You need the Half Cadillac Bracket for C8-Pro and C2-Pro, the Full Cadillac Bracket for C Series and the C series leg extensions, since the C8-Pro manual states the full Cadillac only works with the leg extensions. Align also recommends the Mattress Converter and Platform Extender to make a flat bed.
Why does the title mention the A Series?
On the A Series side the frame sits on the Align Cadillac Base Frame, which creates a standalone Cadillac bed. It does not bolt onto an A8-Pro reformer.
Does the frame come with springs and straps?
Yes. It ships with the trapeze, fuzzy handles, foot straps, hand handles, spring holders, clips and a set of 12 springs.
How much ceiling height do I need?
Align calls for 2.45 m of clearance to insert the uprights during assembly, so measure the room before delivery.
Can I sit or hang on the swing through bar?
No. The bar is built for push through and swing through exercises with the supplied springs only. The safety strap stops it swinging down but does not make it a rigid bar.
