Rolling luggage: General buying guide


Category: Rolling/Wheeled luggage, Spinner

Usage of rolling luggage dates back to 1989 and is supposed to be invented by pilot Bob Plath.
Today it is rare to see people carrying heavy luggage that does not have wheel, during their travels, whatever their mode of transport may be. Wheeled luggage can be just rolled along without much stress. Apart from that they save you from back and neck strains and time spent in carrying the luggage from one place to another.

Once you decide on buying your rolling luggage for a travel schedule you must focus on certain factors and, more precisely, on durability, versatility, and practicality of the product.

Every luggage you select should be durable to withstand the load and should last for long under optimum use. They should be able to survive through rough handling and regular wear and tear. A versatile luggage is meant for multipurpose uses. If you have, for instance, a rolling rugsack with retractable wheels you have the options of either rolling it on the wheels or carrying it on your back with the straps facilitating hands free travel.

Every rolling luggage you choose should have the practicality in terms of providing the right kind of pack and facilitating safe storage of your items. Choose a luggage that you alone can handle. Be very particular about its dimension and volume. Try to judge if you are comfortable pulling it around.

Wheels are the most essential feature of a rolling luggage. Rolling luggages can have two or four wheels. Low-cost ones come with cheap plastic wheels. These are not durable and, at times, not very convenient. Always go for good quality in-line-skate wheels fitted with ball bearings for your luggage to roll smoothly. As for wheel size, the larger the wheel the more weight it can withstand. Make sure that the wheels of your rolling luggage are properly installed with screws. And if possible, try to get a luggage with replaceable wheels.
Many companies have this feature in their rolling luggage and also provide an additional set of wheels along with the purchase.

Finally, make sure that you test drive your rolling luggage before the ultimate decision to buy it. Try rolling it out over different surfaces of the floors, like the tiled as well as carpeted floors. Pack it and push and pull the luggage and also roll round corners to see its balance. Once you are satisfied go for it and experience the comfort of traveling with a rolling luggage.
