A wooden Pilates ladder barrel with a padded barrel over a ladder base. Maple or oak frame, leather in several colours, and five points buyers check.

The wooden Pilates ladder barrel is one of the models we build, and the photo above shows a run of them side by side. Each unit pairs a padded curved barrel with a wooden ladder section and a low platform, so a studio can work from several positions on one piece of equipment.

Five Points Buyers Check on a Ladder Barrel

Versatile training position. The barrel, the ladder rungs and the platform give a range of handholds and seat heights, which is why studios use one unit for different parts of a session rather than a single fixed pose.
Maple or oak frame. The frame is available in two woods, maple or oak, so a buyer can match the barrel to the finish they already stock.
Leather in several colours. The padded barrel is upholstered in leather with multiple colour options, so a studio or a private label can pick the shade that fits its own look.
Suggested starting quantity of 3 units. We generally suggest starting with 3 units or more, which is a suggestion rather than a fixed minimum.
Custom production for brands. Sunoviz is a manufacturer based in Nanjing, China, doing OEM and ODM work for brands and distributors under NDA-protected cooperation, so the frame finish and the leather colour can be produced to a buyer's own specification.

Where a Ladder Barrel Fits in the Studio

The combination of a curved surface and a ladder in one unit is what separates the ladder barrel from flat mat work and from the larger reformer.

Ordering a Ladder Barrel

Tell us the quantity, the wood you prefer and the leather colour you need, and we will come back with what we can offer. The frame finish and upholstery are both chosen at the order stage, which is where a custom run usually starts.
