For manufacturers, a good folding design must:

- Be easy to use for all ages
- Prevent sudden dropping for better safety
- Remain durable after thousands of folds

The key component is the fold-assist gas spring. With the right gas spring, even heavy equipment can be lifted easily and lowered slowly.
