Q: Why your Hi-Fortune manual wheelchairs are more expensive than other regular aluminum wheelchair?
A: We are committed to making the lightest manual wheelchairs. So we use magnesium alloy material as the frame of wheelchairs. It’s more difficult than ordinary aluminum wheelchair in the manufacturing process. We are also the first seller of magnesium wheelchairs on Amazon.
Q: Why chose the magnesium alloy instead of regular aluminum alloy .Any advantages of the magnesium alloy?
A: Magnesium is the lightest structural metal currently available in the world. Its approximately 33% lighter than aluminum, 50% lighter than titanium, and 75% lighter than steel. It has higher strength, less deformation, good damping performance and long service life. It’s environmental friendly, pollution-free and completely recyclable.
Description
The Hi-Fortune Magnesium Manual Wheelchair is easy to maintain and is extremely lightweight. At under 22lbs, it can be easily lifted and great for use when travelling as it folds up small enough to fit in most vehicles. Drive wheels also feature a quick release, making travel and storage easier. Assistants also benefit from dual integrated hand brakes for consistent and reliable control of the chair operator. Swing-away leg rests allows the operator to quickly transfer to and from a seated position.

Only 21lbs. Compare that with other chairs. ONLY 21lbs!! I got this for my Mom when she just can’t keep up with all she wants to see. We carried it on a plane and have used it a dozen times. My key thing is this is LIGHT. My sister and I both have bad backs and wanted to be sure loading and unloading this didn’t cause us any issues. Magnesium Alloy is incredibly lightweight but super strong. I would like if arms could fold away but its probably is sturdier this way. I’ll take lightest weight possible over the folding arms. The…
Can’t beat this price. A great quality chair I bought this chair for my friend’s 70-year old mother to assist with ease of mobility outside of the home and medical appointments. We have used this wheelchair on a few occasions.
