The previous article discussed the advanced technology of Brother Medical in customizing the high-end 7003 series aluminum wheelchairs. This article will continue to explain the manufacturing advantages of aluminum wheelchairs produced by Shanghai Brother Medical. For international brands seeking OEM or ODM partners in ultralight and high-performance wheelchairs, Shanghai Brother Medical stands out as a trusted manufacturing powerhouse.
Shanghai hosts one of China's most developed aluminum fabrication ecosystems, covering every step from raw extrusion to final assembly. Within a 100-km industrial belt, hundreds of certified suppliers specialize in extrusion, heat treatment, CNC machining, anodizing, and surface finishing. This proximity shortens production cycles and ensures tighter quality control, allowing global wheelchair brands to move from prototype to mass production in weeks instead of months.

Shanghai and its surrounding areas, such as Jiangsu province, are China's leading aluminum processing regions. It gives local manufacturers immediate access to high-purity, high-strength 7000 series alloy billets. Decades of metallurgical expertise in lightweight and fatigue-resistant aluminum ensure that every wheelchair frame begins with controlled material consistency.
Stable raw material supply
Advanced welding and anodizing technologies.
Long history of using aerospace-grade alloys such as 7003, ideal for ultralight wheelchair frames
This robust ecosystem directly contributes to the manufacturing advantages, such as faster production times and greater precision. This foundation gives Shanghai manufacturers an advantage over other regions that rely on imported or low-grade aluminum materials.
Located near major ports, Shanghai manufacturers can ship prototypes or finished frames worldwide within days. Efficient customs clearance and supplier coordination minimize lead time and cost — critical for brands managing multiple international product launches.
✅Cavity tolerances within ±0.05 mm
✅Uniform wall thickness for improved fatigue resistance
✅Polished, defect-free surface finishes ready for anodizing
✅High durability, lasting 50 % longer
For designers and engineers, these tolerances translate to smoother welding seams, lighter frame geometry, and an overall ride quality that users can feel from the first push.
We don't just manufacture frames, we engineer precision mobility systems where every gram of aluminum performs a purpose.
