Is Your Trolley Case Living Up to Its Full Lifespan?

According to statistics, the average user replaces their trolley case every 3-5 years, but high-performance trolley case can last for ten years or even longer with proper care. Midilun has developed a trolley case maintenance guide designed to ensure it withstands over 500 flights. Below, we'll discuss how to maximize the lifespan of your trolley case through daily maintenance.

Five Key Factors for Long-Lasting Trolley Case Durability

1. Proper Material

The outer shell of our trolley case is as tough as an aircraft carrier, absorbing 200% more impact than ABS plastic while also reducing the weight by 30%.

2. Wheel Performance

Our trolley case utilizes sealed bearing rollers, which prevent dust intrusion and eliminate the primary cause of wheel failure.

3. Zipper Strength

Our trolley case uses reverse-wound zippers that can withstand 15 kg of lateral force without deforming.

4. Moisture Resistance

The nano-coated lining prevents mold growth in humid environments.

Proper packaging can distribute the weight and prevent the frame from deforming.

Expert Answers to Frequently Asked Questions About Trolley Case

Q: How often should I oil my trolley case's wheels?

A: Every 6 months or after a beach trip. Use a silicone spray (not oil) on our Voyager X wheels—it removes grit while maintaining traction.

Q: Will overpacking really damage my trolley case?

A: Yes, exceeding 80% capacity can damage the zippers and frame. Our safety straps turn red at the safety limit (28 inches, 22 kg).

Q: Why do telescoping handles get stuck?

A: 92% of failures are caused by sand or bent tubing. Our aluminum handles feature anti-debris covers and anti-twist grooves. 

Extend Your Investment: 3 Practical Steps

1. Routine Post-Travel Maintenance.

2. Wipe the exterior with a pH-neutral wipe.

3. Fully extend the handle to prevent spring fatigue.

4. Store upright after removing any heavy objects.

5. Prevent damage by avoiding sitting on the luggage to prevent deformation.

Although our Voyager X luggage costs 25% more upfront, its 10-year lifespan is 60% less than replacing Economy Class luggage every two years. That's why Emirates equips its crew with Midilun trolley case—which has accumulated over 2 million flight hours without a single structural failure.
