{"product_id":"basi-systems-ladder-barrel","title":"BASI Systems Ladder Barrel","description":"\u003cp\u003eA beech ladder and a barrel that travels on linear slides, so the gap between them adjusts smoothly to torso length and exercise. BASI rates it as the longest adjustment track in the category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe detail that matters in a busy studio is that adjustment is hand-controlled and done standing. There is no crouching to find a pin and no lifting the barrel to a new notch, which means the apparatus gets adjusted properly for each client instead of being left where the last one had it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 49 lb it is one of the lighter pieces BASI builds, so it works in homes as well as studios. Springs are not included with the base barrel. Prepared ports accept the F2 System if you want spring-resisted barrel work, and the F2 levers then double as weight-bearing handles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLadder barrel comprising ladder, barrel and frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 standing platform\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAdjusted standing, by hand\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe barrel slides to the distance you want while you stand beside it.

Ten years applies to the main wooden frame and structural woodwork. Two years applies to steel and aluminium profiles and components, to F2 hardware, to springs and to plastic parts and fasteners. One year applies to elastomer-coated contact parts, a group that includes the footbar, hand bar, pedals, stoppers, handles and wheels. Ninety days applies to the mat, the upholstery and every fabric accessory. Cover starts on the invoice date, stays with the original purchaser and is not transferable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote the maintenance clause attached to it. Springs on spring-loaded apparatus are wear parts, and BASI expects them replaced every two years, or after 3,000 hours of use if that comes sooner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe ship free anywhere in the United States. Anything crated moves by freight and the carrier will call to book a window with you. Expect a kerbside handover rather than an in-room placement, so line up a second pair of hands and measure the doorways first. Accessories and spare parts go parcel and usually land inside 7 to 10 business days after dispatch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck every carton against the paperwork before signing for it. Damage or a missing box must be recorded on the Proof of Delivery there and then, and claimed inside five business days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnused equipment can come back within 30 days of delivery in its original packaging. There is no restocking fee, refunds clear within 7 business days of arrival and a cancellation costs nothing while the order is still at the factory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout BASI Systems\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBASI Systems is the manufacturing arm behind BASI Pilates, the teacher training organisation Rael Isacowitz started. Equipment and curriculum are developed together, which is why the catalogue reads as one system rather than a set of separate products. Prepared F2 ports on nearly every apparatus are the clearest sign of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe material specification is the same at every price point: beech hardwood frames, aircraft-grade aluminium anywhere something slides or takes load, orthopaedic padding beneath anti-slip antibacterial vinyl.
