Wheelchairs can be divided into aluminum alloy, steel pipe and iron according to their materials. Wheelchairs on the market are generally made of aluminum alloy. Many people think that the material of steel pipe will be stronger than aluminum alloy. In fact, this is not the case. The current aluminum alloys for wheelchairs mostly use high-strength aluminum alloys. This material not only has the advantages of strong and durable steel pipes, but also has light weight, avoiding the disadvantages of heavy steel pipes.
Steel pipe wheelchairs are heavier and are the material used in the earliest wheelchairs. It has the advantage that it can be used in small areas because the mass of the body itself does not cause the patient to roll over or lean backwards while riding. However, the use environment is limited, it cannot be used in a humid environment, it is easy to be damp and rusted, and it has no recycling value when it is scrapped.
In recent years, aluminum alloy wheelchairs have gained the upper hand. It is mainly suitable for people with high floors, people with humid environment, and people who often go out. Because of its light material and easy to carry, it brings convenience to mobile travel. And it can be recycled after being scrapped.
