SUZHOU COMPAW INTELLIGENT TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. manufactures the Aluminum Alloy Manual Wheelchair, Lightweight Self-Propelled Wheelchair with Adjustable Footrests for rehabilitation equipment distributors, hospital and nursing-home procurement teams, and OEM/ODM partners who need one repairable manual platform that can be configured for a defined user group. The wheelchair is built on a 6061 aluminum alloy frame, driven manually through handrims on 24-inch rear wheels, and fitted with attendant push handles and adjustable footrests.
The platform serves daily mobility, rehabilitation departments, healthcare facilities, elderly care and institutional deployment, where low lifting weight, predictable folding and simple part replacement matter more than powered features. Every unit is assembled and checked against an approved configuration before it leaves our Suzhou production base.
Standard configuration at a glance: aerospace-grade 6061 aluminum alloy frame · 7 kg curb weight · 120 kg rated load · 24-inch solid wear-resistant racing rear tires with handrims · 4-inch high-flexibility universal front wheels · seat widths 36/38/40/42 cm · seat depths 38/40/42/44 cm · position-adjustable footrests.
What the Specification Means in Service
As a Wholesale Aluminum Alloy Manual Wheelchair, Lightweight Self-Propelled Wheelchair with Adjustable Footrests Suppliers, Exporter, Company, we match product configuration to the application, operating limits, interfaces and acceptance criteria defined for each project.
Each figure on this model translates into a handling or durability characteristic that affects how the wheelchair behaves in a ward, a care home corridor or a residential room. We confirm the complete-vehicle values against the approved configuration, because frame dimensions, tire choice and seating options shift the final figures.

Lower-leg support angle, ground clearance and transfer space |
Mid-range seat sizes cover the majority of adult institutional users; the wider and deeper settings support larger body dimensions without changing the frame platform. We match seat width to hip width plus clearance and seat depth to thigh length, then set the footrest position so the lower leg is supported rather than hanging or compressed.
Self-Propelled Drive and Attendant Assistance
The self-propelled layout uses large rear wheels with handrims, so the user controls speed and direction directly. Rear push handles let a caregiver take over on slopes, through doorways or during longer transfers, which makes the same unit usable in both independent and assisted care routines.
- Independent users with sufficient upper-body control propel via handrims and steer with the front castors.
- Assisted routines rely on the push handles; the larger rear wheel still rolls more easily over thresholds than a small-wheel attendant model.
- Mixed environments are covered by the same frame, so facilities can standardise on one platform and one spare-parts set.
- Where a route is fundamentally attendant-led, our companion push wheel chair platform is the more direct match.
Frame, Seating and Footrest Configuration Range
Beyond the standard build, seat width, frame dimensions, footrest design, wheel specification, armrests and folding structure can be adjusted to project requirements. We confirm the feasible range against the selected frame design before drawings are released.

Application Fit
- Rehabilitation departments and therapy centres use the manual drive for controlled, self-paced movement training on flat indoor surfaces.
- Hospitals and clinics deploy it for transfer support and short-distance transport, where the 7 kg frame weight eases lifting and repositioning.
- Nursing homes and care centres standardise on one frame with several seat and footrest settings across different residents.
- Residential daily mobility suits users who operate the handrims with adequate upper-body control in the home and nearby accessible areas.
- Institutional fleet programmes benefit from a folding structure that simplifies storage and bulk transport.
- OEM/ODM projects allow target-market specification of frame, seating, wheels and folding layout before mass production.
Production, Quality Control and Acceptance
This wheelchair comes out of our 50,000 m2 Suzhou facility, where 300-plus employees run a staged production process covering frame fabrication, finishing, wheel and seating assembly, and final function checks before packing. Quality control operates to international manufacturing standards across incoming materials, in-process assembly and finished goods.
- Function checks cover folding operation, wheel tracking, caster swivel, handrim mounting and brake performance on the finished unit.
- For OEM/ODM batches, we complete sample approval on frame fit, folding action and complete-wheelchair function before mass production starts.
- Certificates applicable to the final configuration and destination market are issued with the project documentation.
- Wear parts, footrest assemblies and wheels are supplied through our wheelchair accessories range to keep fleets serviceable.
OEM/ODM Support and Our Wider Manual Range
We handle OEM/ODM development from product definition through modular engineering, so a project can start from the standard aluminum alloy platform and move toward market-specific sizing, footrest design or folding layout. The same manual engineering base is applied across our manual wheel chair range, which lets a distributor build a coherent catalogue from one supplier.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is an aluminum alloy frame used on this manual wheelchair?
The 6061 aluminum alloy frame keeps structural weight down while providing the seating and mobility structure the wheelchair needs. Lower weight directly reduces the effort required from attendants during lifting, loading and repositioning, which is the main reason care institutions specify this platform.
How does a self-propelled wheelchair differ from an attendant wheelchair?
A self-propelled wheelchair uses large rear wheels with handrims so the user propels and steers directly. An attendant wheelchair is designed primarily for a caregiver pushing from the rear handles. This model combines both functions, which allows one frame to serve independent and assisted routines.
What can be adjusted on the footrests and seat?
Footrest position adjusts to leg length and seating requirements, with the exact adjustment method depending on the footrest structure specified. Seat width and seat depth are selected from 36/38/40/42 cm and 38/40/42/44 cm respectively, so a single order can cover several user dimensions.
Can the wheelchair be customized for OEM/ODM projects?
Yes. Frame dimensions, seat width, footrest structure, tires, armrests and folding mechanisms can be specified against project requirements. The feasible customisation range is confirmed against the selected frame design, and sample approval precedes mass production.
What load and wheel specification should be planned for a bulk order?
The standard build is rated to 120 kg with 24-inch solid wear-resistant rear tires and 4-inch flexible front wheels. Where routes involve rougher paving or different rolling requirements, alternate wheel and tire specifications are selected during configuration.
How is the information handled once we send project data?
We review the user group, seat and leg dimensions, load requirement, folding needs and target market, then return a configuration with the matching frame, seating, footrest and wheel specification. Documentation, packaging and spare-parts scope are confirmed in the same proposal.
