Suitcase Trolleys – Hard Shell, Soft Luggage and Aluminium
A suitcase trolley is the indispensable travel companion – whether for a weekend trip, a business trip or a three-week holiday. With a telescopic handle, 4 wheels and a thoughtfully designed interior, it glides effortlessly through airports, train stations and hotels. At Markenkoffer.de you'll find trolleys in every size, material and price range.
Medium (65-66 cm) – for 1-2 week trips, approx. 60-75 litres of volume
Large (75-78 cm) – for long trips or family travel, 90-110 litres
XL (80+ cm) – for very long trips or moving house, 120+ litres
Hard shell, soft luggage or aluminium?
Hard shell trolleys made from polycarbonate or ABS are robust, waterproof and protect delicate contents – the most popular choice for air travel. Soft luggage trolleys made from polyester or nylon are more flexible when packing and often feature external pockets for quick access. Aluminium trolleys are extremely sturdy and long-lasting (10+ years is not unusual), but heavier and more expensive than polycarbonate.
What to look for when buying a trolley?
Number of wheels – 4 spinner wheels are more manoeuvrable, 2 wheels are more robust on rough ground
Expansion feature – an expansion gusset adds 3-5 cm of extra volume for the journey home with souvenirs
TSA lock – built-in combination lock, important for trips to the US, otherwise locks get cut off
Own weight – under 2.5 kg for carry-on, under 3.2 kg for M, under 4 kg for L, under 5 kg for XL is good
Interior features – zip divider, elastic straps, padded compartment for a suit or laptop
Trolley for business trips, holidays or families
For business trips, models with a separate suit compartment, laptop straps and a document pocket are recommended – usually cabin size or M. For holidays, a medium-sized trolley (65 cm) is the all-rounder, with an expansion feature also useful for the journey home with souvenirs. Families often choose suitcase sets or combine a large L suitcase with cabin luggage per person.
Trolley care and lifespan
With careful handling, branded trolleys last 5-10 years and more. Aluminium models gain character with patina, while polycarbonate should be protected from excessive sun exposure.
For a week's holiday, a medium-sized trolley with 65-66 cm height and 60-75 litres of volume is usually enough. If you pack compactly, a large carry-on (55 cm, 35-45 litres) will also do. For thicker clothing or several pairs of shoes, it's better to go for the M size.
Hard shell or soft luggage?
Hard shell trolleys protect delicate contents better and are waterproof – ideal for air travel and electronics. Soft luggage is more flexible when packing, has external pockets for quick access and adapts to full overhead bins. For family trips with mixed contents, a combination of both materials is often best.
Are 4 wheels better than 2 wheels?
4-wheel spinners are easier to manoeuvre in airports and can be pushed alongside you. 2 wheels are more robust on cobblestones and natural terrain, and need less maintenance. For business trips, 4 wheels are common, while for backpacking-style trips, 2 wheels are more practical.
How much does a good suitcase trolley cost?
From entry-level trolleys to mid-range and premium models to aluminium suitcases, there's something in every price range. You can see current prices in the product list. Mid-range is sufficient for occasional travel, while frequent travellers invest in premium models for durability and comfort.
How heavy can a trolley be?
Carry-on trolleys under 2.5 kg are good, under 2 kg is very light. Medium-sized models under 3.2 kg, large ones under 4 kg, XL under 5 kg. With strict airline limits, every kilogram counts: 1 kg less own weight means 1 kg more capacity for contents or less excess baggage fee.
Is a TSA lock worth it?
Definitely for trips to the US – without a TSA lock, locks are cut off during security checks. Internationally too, a built-in combination lock is more convenient than a separate key. TSA locks have a master key for customs officers, which doesn't compromise security.
