Why FORTE

No zip to burst mid-carousel and none to pop open with a biro. The aluminium shell locks shut on its own riveted frame.

Two integrated TSA combination locks, one at each end, set into the frame itself rather than hung off a zip pull.

Replace the part not the case. Wheels release by hand. Carry handles and locks swap in less than 2 minutes.

Wheels, carry handles and locks are sold direct, from £29.99. Replacement and upgradable parts for life.

How it works
Wheels, carry handles and locks are all replaceable at home. Wheels come as a set of four, so one broken wheel leaves you three spares.

Wheels, carry handles and locks, each sold on its own. No case serial lookup, no service ticket.

Flip the red switch, pull the release lever and the old wheel slides out. Push the new one in until it seats. No tools.

The case you bought is the case you keep. Replace the part, not the suitcase.
British Airways, easyJet, Ryanair, to name a few. If a size is tight, remove the wheels with no tools in less than 5 seconds.
No more ripped fabric or cracked plastic. We use a anodised 5-series Aluminium alloy shell and frame, with riveted corner guards.
Other suitcases become landfill waste with broken shells or parts. Aluminium scratches and dents but it's lightweight & extremely durable.
