travelite ’s hard-shell suitcases give you the peace of mind you needto enjoy your holiday to the full. Sturdy hard-shell suitcases are a clear advantage, particularly when travelling by air, as luggage is often handled very roughly. That’s why it’s all the more important that your Trolley suitcase can withstand a lot. 

Key features for your travel companion

As well as a durable outer material, there are other features to look out for in a suitcase. This makes your hard-shell suitcase from travelite will be the perfect companion on your next trip. Acting responsibly is important to us – that’s why we carry out regular product tests to guarantee you the highest standard of quality. 

Durable outer material

For our hard-shell suitcases, we use only robust and durable outer materials to ensure you can enjoy your travel companions for many years to come. Our “Next” range, for example, is made from high-quality aluminium , which has also proven its worth in aerospace engineering. Our other ranges are made from the plastics polypropylene or ABS, which, in addition to their high durability, also impress with their lightness.

Telescopic pole

A sturdy telescopic pole not only makes it easy to handle, but also allows you to attach additional luggage, such as a Beautycase. Thanks to our locking mechanism , the telescopic pole can be smoothly adjusted to any position. 

Secure locking system

Our hard-shell suitcases are fitted with a TSA lock or a secure combination lock This ensures your luggage is reliably protected against being opened by unauthorised persons. The TSA LOCK combination lock makes going through customs at the airport easier, as it can be opened effortlessly with a master key. When travelling to the USA, a suitcase with this locking mechanism is actually a requirement under baggage regulations. 

Agile castors 

All hard-shell suitcases from travelite feature rubberised 360° double-wheel castors. In addition to providing excellent manoeuvrability, the wheels are also robust enough to roll smoothly over a variety of surface conditions. This allows you to change direction quicklywithout getting stuck. 

It’s on the return journey in particular that we tend to cram as much as we possibly can into our suitcases. This puts a lot of strain on the zip. It’s not uncommon for it to burst open, and that’s the last thing you need whilst travelling. At travelite, we use only high-quality zips, so you don’t have to worry about the zip giving way when the bag is packed to capacity. 

Storage space

Some of our suitcases feature a handy expansion panel , so you can expand the capacity of your hard-shell suitcase in no time at all. Our clever and well-thought-out interior layout ensures you can pack your luggage as space-efficiently as possible. The elasticated packing straps prevent clothes, shoes and other delicate items from shifting around inside the suitcase. 

Is it not just your hard-shell suitcase that’s your travel companion, but your children too? We also have special children’s suitcases on offer.

Advantages of hard-shell suitcases:

Admittedly, hard-shell suitcases often weigh more than, for example, soft-sided luggage or travel bags. Every gram counts on the scales, especially at the airport. Nevertheless, hard-shell suitcases offer many advantages that are sure to win you over.

• Stability

Hard-shell suitcases are extremely durable and retain their shape well. Thanks to their robust outer material, they can withstand impacts and knocks, which is a major advantage, particularly when travelling by air.

• Weather-resistant

The water-repellent surface and reinforced seams help to ensure that the contents of your suitcase are well protected in most weather conditions.

• Easy to care for

It happens in the blink of an eye: that snack at the station drips onto your suitcase, leaving an unsightly stain. Fortunately, with a hard-shell suitcase, this isn’t a problem. Simply wipe your Trolley clean with a damp cloth and the mishap is a thing of the past.

• Gentle on the back

Thanks to the lockable telescopic handle and the handy carrying handle, your Trolley can be pulled or pushed with ease. The manoeuvrable wheels ensure that you can change the way you transport your hard-shell suitcase at a moment’s notice.
