Most ultra-light models are made from aluminum. Some combine aluminum with plastic or steel for components such as steps or hinges, and several listings specifically call out aircraft‑grade or high‑grade aluminum construction.
Capacities vary but generally fall in the mid‑200s to low‑300s of pounds. Examples in the group include 225 lb, 250 lb, 300 lb, 330 lb and 331 lb, giving a typical range of roughly 225–331 pounds.
