Our manufacturing capabilities have expanded throughout the years. We have continued to develop each wheelchair category and we are a brand fully committed to wheelchair technology.

Scope

Like other industrial manufacturers, wheelchair companies come in many different forms, in both scale and production. There are larger wheelchair manufacturers, small specialized regional factories, and new import companies hoping to make a name for themselves. Prior to purchasing or during your selection process, it is important to learn about the details of each company to gain background information and make an educated purchase.

Pro’s and Con’s of Some Major Manufacturers

As you start the process of shopping for the right chair, you will easily run into brand names which may seem like the largest manufacturers of wheelchairs and accessories such as: Invacare, Drive Medical, Sunrise, Quickie, Medline. These large companies employ hundreds of people, and some are owned by parent companies with considerable financial resources. However, many of these manufacturer’s core business may not be focused on wheelchairs, it is plausible that not all resources are committed to the design and manufacturing of the best possible wheelchair. At Karman, our efforts are 100% committed to manufacturing the best wheelchair possible. Taking note from ergonomics, materials types, weld methods, advanced polymer materials, and Japanese high grade steel for tool production.

Shipping and Receiving a Wheelchair

Some would also argue that finding parts and service away from home is easier when your chair is made by one of the large firms, although the very complexity and vast array of options from the large producers make it impossible for dealers to carry all parts for all chairs. Whether you travel or stay at home, you are likely to have to wait for a part to be shipped. If you travel often, availability of parts is definitely something to ask about before deciding to purchase.

How does the user perform daily activities? Is the user independent? We have manual wheelchairs made for active users both young and old. All age groups may use manual wheelchairs.
