Align Pilates C8-S Reformer with Half Cadillac

The Align Pilates C8-S Reformer with Half Cadillac pairs Align's white framed C-series reformer with a stainless steel half cadillac tower, for studios that want tower work with a clean, modern look.

The C8-S shares the C8-Pro's carriage, runner profile and adjustment systems, and brings the standing platform and rope risers inside the frame for tidier lines. It gives 105 cm of travel on 8 PU wheels.

Because the C8-S frame is not pre-drilled, the tower attaches with a dedicated C8-S bracket set. The tower adds a push through bar with safety strap, a roll down bar and eight cadillac springs.

What's Included:

• Align Pilates C8-S Reformer with 5 springs, ropes and silent foot strap
• Align Pilates Half Cadillac Frame with push through bar, safety strap and roll down bar
• 8 cadillac springs (four 64 cm long, four 47 cm standard)
• 1 pair of foot straps and 1 pair of hand handles for the tower
• 2 pairs of rapid adjust double eyelet spring holders
• 8 aluminium carabiners and 8 double ended dog clips
• Half Cadillac Bracket set for the C8-S reformer

Features

Clean integrated design
The standing platform and rope risers sit within the white frame, giving the C8-S a streamlined profile suited to group studios and styled home rooms.

Half cadillac tower
Leg springs, arm springs, push through and roll down work all happen at the head of the reformer, so one station covers both repertoires.

Dedicated C8-S bracket
The C8-S frame and legs are left undrilled for a clean finish, so a clamp style bracket set holds the tower in place.

C8-Pro running gear
The same carriage, runners and 8 PU wheels as the C8-Pro deliver a smooth, quiet ride with 105 cm of travel.

Oversize lockable foot bar
The oversize foot bar locks in 4 positions including flat, and the Rapid Change spring bar adjusts with the springs attached.

Installation

Build the reformer
The C8-S ships in a single carton of about 80 kg, so plan on two people to unpack and lift it. Align puts assembly at 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Fit the bracket and tower
Clamp the C8-S brackets to the reformer, then have two people slide the stainless steel frame in and tighten the grub screws with the supplied Allen key. Align estimates about ten minutes for the half cadillac. Measure the ceiling height before you start.

Warranty, Shipping and Returns

Align-Pilates backs this machine with a limited commercial warranty for the original owner, starting on the date of purchase. It is written for use of up to 37.5 hours a week and a maximum user weight of 330 lb (150 kg). Frames in metal or aluminium, and welded components, are covered for ten years; wooden frames and spring bar mechanisms for five; footbar mechanisms for three; other parts that do not wear for two; and ropes, straps, clips, handles and wheels for one.

Springs carry two years or 3,000 hours in a studio of up to five reformers, and one year or 3,000 hours beyond that. Upholstery is covered for 90 days after delivery. Wear and tear, misuse, modification, surface scratches and rust fall outside the cover, and Align asks that the maintenance steps in the manual are kept up.

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.
