Product Benefits

Underneath is the standard A8-Pro: 113cm of carriage travel, a 91cm by 67cm carriage on 8 PU wheels, a six position footbar, Rapid Change spring bar, adjustable feet, and risers that fold flat under the frame. The reformer weighs 75kg, the frame adds 30kg, the user limit is 150kg, and it is independently tested to EN ISO 20957-1:2013.

Assembled height depends on which legs are under the reformer: 199cm on low 28cm legs, 213cm on standard 42cm legs, 235cm on rehab 64cm legs. This bundle is supplied with the standard 42cm legs, so plan around 213cm unless you tell us otherwise before the order goes in. Add clearance above that for the push through bar arc and for a standing client on the arm springs. A clear 240cm is comfortable. Measure to the lowest obstruction, usually a beam or ductwork. Footprint is 263cm by 75cm.

• Measure your ceiling first, and note that the legs change the answer

• Best for, and not ideal for

Ideal For

Studios wanting Cadillac work without a second apparatus on the floor

One to one work where push through bar, pull down bar and springs share an hour

Instructors with tall clients, since 113cm of travel is the longest here

Studios fitting out from scratch, with box, pole and converter included

Not ideal for

Rooms under about 220cm of clear height on the standard 42cm legs

Anyone needing to fold, stand or move the machine between sessions

Buyers wanting the widest carriage, which is the 93cm by 66cm maple machine

Studios wanting the full trapeze repertoire, which needs a Full Cadillac

Why we carry this one

Most machines that take a Half Cadillac give something up to make room for the uprights. This one does not. Travel stays at 113cm, the carriage at 91cm by 67cm, and the footbar keeps six positions. The risers fold flat rather than coming off, so switching between reformer and Half Cadillac work means dropping them and clipping in.

The frame is full stainless steel, 189cm from the floor, 30kg, and mounts on the A-Series brackets included here. That matters: the frame is shared across the A, M and C series, but each takes its own bracket set, and the sets are not interchangeable.

A8-Pro, C8-Pro or M8-Pro Half Cadillac

The three sets differ in frame material, carriage size and, most importantly here, whether deck height can change. The A8-Pro is the only one with three leg heights, which makes assembled height a choice rather than a figure you inherit: 199cm, 213cm or 235cm. If your ceiling is marginal, that is the argument.

The C8-Pro with Half Cadillac suits a short room and a standard client mix, but budget for the leg extensions it needs. The M8-Pro with Half Cadillac wins on carriage width and the look of maple, but deck height is fixed and it is the heaviest at 130kg. Pick the A8-Pro when travel matters, when clients are tall, or when the ceiling means you need 199cm.
