Product Advantage

13.5 kg Ultra-Lightweight Aluminum Chassis with Symmetrical Cross-Brace

Built with high-strength aviation-grade aluminum tubing weighing only 13.5 kg. The symmetrical dual cross-brace structure beneath the seat distributes load weight evenly across all four wheels, maximizing frame stability and preventing frame warping during daily use.


90° Flip-Up Armrests for Barrier-Free Lateral Transfers

Engineered specifically for individuals with limited lower-body mobility. Both side armrests pivot upward a full 90°, allowing seamless, zero-barrier lateral sliding transfers between the wheelchair, personal vehicles, hospital beds, or bath chairs.


Compact Fold-Down Backrest & Swing-Away Storage Footrests

Features a fold-down backrest and swing-away detachable footrests that reduce the wheelchair's folded dimensions to a compact 76 × 31 × 72.5 cm, allowing effortless storage in tight sedan trunks, closets, or transport bays.


3 Rear Wheel Options & 22-Inch Maintenance-Free Injection-Molded Mag Wheels

Offers three interchangeable rear wheel specifications to match regional market preferences, including a high-durability 22-inch integrated injection-molded mag wheel. The mag wheels require zero spoke adjustment, eliminate puncture risks, and provide smooth self-propulsion for active users.


Detachable Breathable Seat Cushion & Ergonomic 46 cm Seat Width

Comes equipped with a soft, zip-off removable seat and backrest cushion upholstered in high-airflow mesh fabric. The cushion reduces heat build-up, prevents moisture retention, and unclips quickly for machine washing and sanitization.


Factory-Direct OEM/ODM Supply, Quality Compliance & Shipping Density

Manufactured under strict ISO 13485 medical quality management standards, every frame undergoes drop tests, static load testing, and armrest hinge fatigue evaluations. As a direct manufacturer, we offer complete OEM/ODM customization—including frame anodizing/powder-coat colors, private label logo printing, custom seat upholstery colors, and container-optimized export packaging.
