COMPAW manufactures the Titanium Alloy Wheelchair, Lightweight Self-Propelled Manual Wheelchair with Ergonomic Design manufacturer line at our Suzhou production base, alongside power attachments, stair-climbing chairs and daily living aids. The chair combines a TC4 titanium alloy frame with a 24-inch self-propelled rear-wheel drive, a 7.2 kg curb weight and a 120 kg rated load, and is built for rehabilitation groups, care operators, distributors and OEM wheelchair programmes that need a specification they can repeat order after order.
Frame material, seating envelope and wheel set are specified independently, so one platform serves rehabilitation departments, nursing fleets and private-label ranges without structural redesign. We confirm seat code, footrest position, rear-wheel type and folding configuration with each project, then hold that configuration through sampling and mass production.
TC4 Titanium Alloy Frame and Weight Control
As a Wholesale Titanium Alloy Wheelchair, Lightweight Self-Propelled Manual Wheelchair with Ergonomic Design Suppliers, Exporter, Company, we match product configuration to the application, operating limits, interfaces and acceptance criteria defined for each project.
Titanium alloy offers a favourable strength-to-density ratio, which is why TC4 is used as the primary frame material rather than a heavier steel structure. The 7.2 kg curb weight comes from material choice and tube specification, not from thinning the connections that carry the user load.
- Frame material: TC4 titanium alloy, welded and finished as a rigid or folding structure.
- Rated load: 120 kg, covering the frame, seat platform and wheel connections.
- Weight variables: seat width and depth, tube wall specification, armrest and footrest assemblies, rear-wheel selection, folding mechanism and surface treatment all shift final weight.
- Structural role: the frame carries the seating system, the rear axle mounting and the front caster mounts as one load path.
Self-Propelled Drive, Steering and Attendant Operation
The rear wheels carry handrims, so users with sufficient upper-body control propel and steer the chair directly. The 4-inch front universal wheels handle direction changes in tight indoor spaces such as clinic corridors, ward rooms and residential doorways.
- Rear wheels: 24-inch solid wear-resistant racing tires with handrims, removing inflation pressure from the daily maintenance cycle.
- Front wheels: 4-inch high-flexibility universal casters.
- Attendant support: rear push handles let a caregiver move or steady the chair without lifting it.
- Range extension: the same self-propelled platform can be paired with our front-mounted electric handcycle attachment range when a distributor wants powered assistance for longer outdoor routes.
Ergonomic Seating Range and Specification Meaning
The ergonomic configuration is the relationship between seat, backrest, armrests, footrests and the user seating position. Seat code drives frame width and folded size, so it is fixed early in a project alongside the target user group.

Where the Titanium Alloy Chair Fits
- Rehabilitation equipment: centres and assisted mobility programmes where manual self-propelled operation is part of the therapy or daily routine.
- Healthcare facilities: hospital and clinic fleets, with seat, footrest and wheel configuration set per department.
- Care and nursing: residents who can operate the handrims use the chair independently; staff use the rear push handles for assisted movement.
- Indoor and accessible environments: residences, campuses, indoor public facilities and designated accessible routes. Actual suitability follows the configured chair, the terrain and local rules for mobility equipment.
- OEM/ODM programmes: frame dimensions, seating system, wheels and folding structure developed for target-market ranges.
Quality Control, Sample Validation and Acceptance
Production runs inside our 50,000 m2 factory under full-process quality control, from incoming tube and component inspection through welding, assembly and final function checks. Certification documentation for EU and North American market entry is maintained at company level, and market-specific wheelchair and medical-device rules are fixed during project definition rather than after tooling.
- Sample build and component check against the agreed configuration sheet.
- Load verification against the 120 kg rated capacity on the completed chair.
- Propulsion, steering, folding and footrest adjustment tested as supplied.
- Folded dimensions and packaging data measured before bulk release.
- Mass production released only after sample validation is signed off.

Packaging, Delivery Scope and Serviceability
Every order is released against a configuration sheet that states seat code, footrest setting, rear-wheel and tire specification, folding state and packaging dimensions. Documentation follows the order in the language agreed with the distributor, and our service approach covers remote diagnosis and online troubleshooting material for channel partners.
- Wear points to plan for: handrim surfaces, caster wheels and bearings, footrest assemblies, upholstery and frame fasteners.
- Service stock can be built into the bulk order; our wheelchair accessories range covers the components most often requested for after-sales support.
- The chair sits within our ergonomic manual wheelchair family, sharing seating and wheel interfaces across models.
Frequently Asked Questions
What frame material and weight does this chair use?
The frame is TC4 titanium alloy with a 7.2 kg curb weight. Final weight moves with seat code, tube specification, armrest and footrest assemblies, rear-wheel selection and folding structure.
Is it self-propelled, and can an attendant push it?
Yes. The 24-inch rear wheels carry handrims so users with suitable upper-body control propel and steer directly, and the rear push handles allow attendant-assisted movement.
Which seat sizes can we order?
Seat width is available in 36 / 38 / 40 / 42 and seat depth in 38 / 40 / 42 / 44, with footrest position adjustable to leg length and individual preference.
What load can the titanium alloy wheelchair carry?
The rated load capacity is 120 kg, covering the frame, seating system and wheel connections. We verify the intended maximum user load against this figure during configuration.
Can it be developed as an OEM or ODM product?
Frame dimensions, seat width and depth, backrest, armrests, footrest structure, rear-wheel specification, folding configuration and surface treatment can be developed for OEM/ODM projects, subject to the selected product structure.
What do you need to prepare a quotation?
Seat code mix, target user group, operating environment, maximum load, destination market, transport limits, annual volume, delivery pattern and branding requirements. We then return a configuration sheet, sample plan and packaging data before bulk production.
