Wheeled suitcase

With a wheeled suitcase, you travel lighter, faster and without carrying heavy luggage. At ByMetz, you’ll find a wide selection of hard and soft trolleys, from compact carry-on wheeled suitcases to spacious checked luggage and complete suitcase sets. Choose from 2 or 4 wheels, lightweight materials and smart details such as a TSA combination lock and expandable capacity. Since 1974, the suitcase and bag specialist for the Netherlands and Belgium.

Which wheeled suitcase suits your trip?

Choose your wheeled suitcase based on the length of your trip, your carrier and who is travelling with you. For a weekend trip or city break, a cabin suitcase (carry-on luggage) is ideal: compact, lightweight and easy to take on board. If you’re going away for 1 to 2 weeks, a medium-sized suitcase offers more room for outfits, shoes and toiletries without unnecessary weight. For a long holiday or family trip, a large checked suitcase is practical. Alternatively, choose one of our suitcase sets with wheeled suitcases so everyone has a suitable size.

If you mainly travel by plane, check the permitted dimensions and maximum weight of your airline. Carry-on sizes vary by airline, so a compact spinner with a streamlined shape and smart layout is useful. If you’re travelling with an airline that strictly applies 40x30x20, choose one of the underseaters (wheeled suitcase under the seat). Travelling by car or train? A flexible front pocket, expandable zip and extra compartments make packing easier. Or choose a wheeled travel bag for flexible loading and smooth rolling. For children, a lightweight kids’ suitcase with smooth-rolling wheels and a recognisable design is perfect. This way, you can roll through the station or departure hall together without a worry.

ByMetz offers top brands and materials that absorb knocks better and stay looking good for longer. Think lightweight models and suitcases with removable organisers, cross straps and divider panels. This helps you pack neatly and make the most of every litre.

2 or 4 wheels: upright or spinner

A wheeled suitcase with 2 wheels (upright) is pulled at an angle behind you. It rolls steadily over cobblestones and kerbs and is often slightly lighter. It’s ideal if you regularly walk outdoors or often have to lift your suitcase over uneven ground. The centre of gravity stays low, so the suitcase is less likely to roll away on slopes or on the bus.

A wheeled suitcase with 4 wheels (spinner) stands upright and turns 360 degrees. You can effortlessly push or turn the suitcase beside you, which reduces strain on your wrist and shoulder in long terminals and shops. Double spinner wheels provide extra stability and manoeuvrability. If you often travel through busy airports or narrow aisles, 4 wheels are usually the most comfortable choice. At ByMetz, you’ll find both options, from compact cabin spinners to large, smooth-rolling 4-wheel suitcases.

Hard or soft wheeled suitcase

A hard wheeled suitcase made of polycarbonate or polypropylene offers excellent protection and keeps its shape. It’s useful when flying and when carrying fragile items. The shell is wear-resistant and often better able to withstand moisture and impacts. Look for features such as a TSA lock, double wheels and, if needed, expandable capacity for extra litres.

A soft wheeled suitcase made of polyester or nylon is flexible, generally lighter and often has a spacious front pocket for quick access to tickets, a laptop or a jacket. This is convenient when travelling by car or train and you regularly need to access your luggage. Many soft suitcases have expanders for just a little extra capacity. Not sure which one to choose? In our range, you can compare materials and rolling comfort at a glance.

Smart features and durable materials

Choose an integrated TSA combination lock if you’re travelling to or via the USA. Expandable zips provide extra volume without choosing a larger size. Look for lightweight constructions, water-repellent zips and a practical interior with cross straps and divider compartments. ByMetz also offers wheeled suitcases made from recycled materials, such as PET, for anyone who wants to travel consciously and sustainably. Complete your set with suitcase and travel accessories such as locks, luggage scales and packing cubes.

Frequently asked questions

Is a small wheeled suitcase considered carry-on luggage?

Usually, yes. Carry-on sizes vary by airline, but a compact cabin suitcase of approximately 55 x 40 x 20 cm will often fit in the overhead compartment. Always check your airline’s current requirements before departure.

What size suitcase do I need for 20 kg?

As a guideline, a medium-sized suitcase of around 60 to 75 litres is often suitable for 15 to 20 kg, depending on your clothing, shoes and the weight of the suitcase. Use packing cubes and weigh your luggage at home to avoid surprises at the check-in desk.

Which rolls more smoothly: 2 or 4 wheels?

2 wheels are sturdy and convenient outdoors; 4 wheels (spinner) offer maximum manoeuvrability and less strain on flat floors and in terminals. Choose what suits your routes and travel style; you’ll find both options in various sizes at ByMetz.
