COMPAW designs, manufactures and exports wheel chairs for medical, elderly care, channel and end-user applications. The Custom Wheel Chair Manufacturers, Factory range we build in Suzhou spans manual, companion push and electric wheel chairs, supported by our own power assist heads, stair-climbing equipment and wheelchair accessories. Distributors, nursing homes, rehabilitation departments and care-equipment importers use this range to equip one project from a single manufacturing source.
What We Manufacture in This Category
Our manufacturing base in Wujiang, Suzhou runs on 25 years of mature production experience: a 50,000 m² modern factory, more than 300 employees and a 100-ton production capacity. Over 70% of output is exported, and the product matrix includes SlimTough, NeoPath, Zepath, ProPath and OmniPath wheelchair power assist heads as well as multifunctional wheelchairs.

Manual Wheel Chairs
Our Ergonomic Manual Wheelchair line is built around aluminium alloy and titanium alloy frames that keep push effort and transport weight low while holding frame rigidity. Adjustable footrests, removable armrests and folding cross-brace geometry allow a single model to serve several user profiles.
Companion Push Wheel Chairs
The Companion Push Wheel Chair platform is set up for attendant operation, with grip height, rear braking and folding behaviour matched to the transport routine of the facility. These units suit hospitals, day-care centres and homes where the user is not self-propelling.
Electric Wheel Chairs
Our Electric Wheel Chairs add powered drive and a controller interface for users covering longer distances or uneven surfaces. Drive units, batteries and controllers are selected against the route profile, charging routine and the level of independence the user needs.
Critical Specifications and Structural Detail
Every configuration is locked to a specification sheet before production, so the delivered chair matches what the facility or channel programme requires.
- Dimensions: overall length, width and height; folded width and depth; seat width, depth and seat-to-floor height; backrest height.
- Load and weight: rated weight capacity, net product weight, transport weight with components removed.
- Frame and finish: aluminium alloy or titanium alloy tubing, weld integrity, powder coating and upholstery material.
- Wheels and braking: rear wheel diameter, solid or pneumatic tyres, handrim type, parking brake, attendant brake where specified.
- Seating hardware: armrest style, footrest and calf strap, cushion specification, seat and back upholstery tension.
- Electrical items: motor rating, battery type and capacity, charger input, controller position, cable routing and protection.
Drive Systems, Batteries and Control Integration
Electric models are assembled around a brushless drive, a battery pack sized to the intended daily range and a controller mounted for the user's dominant hand. Charging behaviour, battery removal and storage temperature are confirmed against the market where the chair will operate. For manual frames that need powered range without replacing the chair, our front-mounted power assist heads connect to standard wheelchair geometry without frame modification.
Quality Control and Acceptance Testing
Production follows full-process quality control against international standards, and our products carry certification for the EU, North America and other export markets. Inspection points cover incoming tubing and components, welding and frame alignment, folding cycles, brake performance, load testing, drive and charging checks, and a final functional inspection before packing.
Acceptance documentation can follow the channel's own protocol, including model and serial records, inspection results and packing lists. Where a distributor operates its own incoming inspection, we align the test items and sampling plan during the order confirmation stage.
OEM/ODM Customisation and Documentation
We run OEM/ODM programmes from market concept to mass production, covering functional parameters, appearance design, interaction logic and modular variants for home-based elderly care or medical rehabilitation scenarios. Technical teams join the product definition phase so that a variant adapts to local user habits and market access standards, including support for localised certification adaptation.
Deliverables can include multilingual technical documentation, user manuals, spare parts lists, packaging artwork and online troubleshooting guides for channel partners.

Installation, Commissioning, Maintenance and Spare Parts
Wheel chairs ship assembled to the agreed packing state, with handlebars, footrests, armrests and controllers requiring straightforward final fitting followed by brake, folding and drive checks. For institutional orders we supply operator training material, and for medical and rehabilitation customers we provide regular technical inspection and equipment calibration support.
For elderly care and rental operations, remote diagnosis, usage guidance and on-site maintenance arrangements are available, together with rapid spare part supply and multilingual troubleshooting documentation that lets channel partners build their own service capability.
