 10" Edge pull, Original style hard case (gray)

Case dimensions are 26" x 26" x 10"  (click here for a dimensioned drawing of the case interior) which meets the typical airline standard maximum size limit of 62" combined (length + width + thickness). The standard case has an improved wheel configuration that greatly improves the stability of the case when it's being pulled. Our old style case was more stable when being pushed rather than being pulled.  To convert an older push style case to a pull style case, click here.

 10" Side pull, Original style hard case (gray)

This case has 4 wheels located on the wide edge of the case so it's very stable when being pulled on uneven terrain or sloping surfaces.  We also added a telescopic pull handle which provides extra clearance between your feet and the case.  The ribs on one face were added to protect the center section that houses the pull handle. Although the basic case is 26"x26"x10", the same inside dimensions as our 10" case, the ribs add another inch to the 10" height of the case for an over the ribs dimension of 11".  Technically this case is oversize so you may get charged for it however some airlines ignore feet and ribs when measuring so they accept it without an extra charge. The same 10 inch compression members that are used with our standard case work with this case.

The ribbed side of the case can be seen in the photo below showing the 12" version of this case.

• Approximate weight is 18.3 pounds

• Approximate retail price is $572.00

 10" Edge pull, Designer Style hard case 

 Case dimensions are 26" x 26" x 10"  which meets the typical airline standard maximum size limit of 62" combined (length + width + thickness). This case uses our new wheel alignment specification and it pulls great even though the wheels are located on the narrow edge of the case. The designer edge pull case is our lightest case at only 15.25 pounds (original design. is 17 pounds)

• Approximate weight is 15.25 pounds
• Approximate retail price is $340.50

 New improved version: This case is now available

Reinforcing tabs on the inside of the the case lock the metal frame together when the case is closed. This improvement allows the strength of the case to increase with almost no increase in weight. 

 10" Combination edge pull / side pull, Designer Style  (not currently available)

This case has 4 wheels which allow it to be pulled on its edge or side. When pulling it on the side, the carry handle is used instead of a telescopic pull handle like our original side pull case shown above. By eliminating the telescopic handle and the space inside the case that it takes up, this case is able to meet the airline standard maximum size limit of 62" combined (length + width + thickness)  The downside to using the carry handle to pull the case is that it puts the persons feet close to the case.

• Approximate weight is 16 pounds

• Approximate retail price is $394.00 (not currently available)
