A suitcase with 4 wheels is ideal if you want to travel smoothly and comfortably. Thanks to the 360° spinner wheels, you can easily move through the airport, train station or hotel without constantly having to tilt the suitcase. At ByMetz, you will find 4-wheel suitcases in different sizes, from compact cabin suitcases to spacious checked luggage and practical suitcase sets.
Why choose a suitcase with 4 wheels?
A 4-wheel suitcase is especially popular because it is easy to use. You can roll it upright beside you, in front of you or at an angle alongside you. It feels lighter and gives you more control, especially when walking longer distances or manoeuvring in busy spaces.
- Manoeuvrable: the wheels rotate 360°, making it easy to change direction
- Comfortable: you need to pull or lift less than with many 2-wheel suitcases
- Practical in queues: the suitcase stays upright and moves along easily
- Suitable for different trips: handy at airports, train stations and hotels
That is why many travellers choose a spinner when comfort and smooth rolling are important to them.
Which 4-wheel suitcase is right for your trip?
The right choice mainly depends on the length of your trip and how much luggage you want to take with you. On this page, you will find different sizes, making it easier to compare them.
Cabin suitcases with 4 wheels
A cabin suitcase with 4 wheels is a smart choice for city trips, short business trips and weekends away. Its compact size is convenient to use, and the spinner wheels help you move quickly through terminals and corridors. Always check the permitted dimensions of your airline.

Checked luggage with 4 wheels
If you are going away for longer, a medium or large travel suitcase with 4 wheels offers more packing space. The advantage of smoothly rolling wheels and an adjustable pull handle is especially noticeable with a fuller suitcase. This makes moving around during your trip much easier.
Suitcase sets
If you want to have several sizes at home, suitcase sets are useful. You immediately have a suitable 4-wheel suitcase for short and long trips, and can easily choose a different size for each journey.

What should you look for when choosing?
If you want to buy a suitcase with 4 wheels, a few features are especially important. They help you make a choice that suits the way you travel.
- Wheel type: some models have double spinner wheels for extra smooth rolling and stability
- Material: choose between hard-shell suitcases for solid protection or soft-shell suitcases for flexibility and extra outer pockets
- Size: choose cabin or checked luggage based on the length of your trip and baggage rules
- Weight: if you want to travel as lightly as possible, take a look at lightweight suitcases
- Lock: some models have a TSA lock, which is useful for air travel

4 wheels or 2 wheels?
If you are unsure whether to choose a suitcase with 2 or 4 wheels, the difference is mainly noticeable in comfort and manoeuvrability. A 4-wheel suitcase is usually the best choice if you walk a lot on flat floors and want to steer quickly in busy environments. If you mainly want a suitcase that moves comfortably upright alongside you, 4 wheels are often a great choice. If you also compare the material and weight, hard-shell suitcases and lightweight suitcases are interesting options.
Frequently asked questions
What do you call luggage with four wheels?
Luggage with four wheels is often called a spinner or spinner suitcase. This refers to the 360° rotating wheels, which let you move the suitcase smoothly in several directions.
Which suitcase has the best wheels?
That depends on how you travel, but many travellers appreciate 4-wheel suitcases with smoothly rotating spinner wheels or double wheels. They offer plenty of comfort and make manoeuvring at airports and train stations easier.
Which suitcase is suitable for 23 kg of luggage?
For 23 kg of checked luggage, many travellers choose a medium or large checked suitcase. More important than the size alone is always checking your airline's baggage rules, so the weight and dimensions match your ticket.
Frequently asked questions
Can you also pull a 4-wheel suitcase on 2 wheels? Yes, tilt the suitcase and pull it by the handle on the two rear wheels. This works better on cobblestones, gravel and kerbs, where four small wheels roll less smoothly. On a smooth floor, let the suitcase roll on all four wheels again.
Can you make a 4-wheel suitcase larger? Yes, some models are expandable: an extra zip lets you make the suitcase deeper. The American Tourister Flytwist expands from 55 x 40 x 20 cm to 55 x 40 x 25 cm. After expanding it, check that the suitcase still fits within your airline's cabin size. Large models for the hold can be found among the checked suitcases.
