So, you want the biggest suitcase in the world? or do you just want to know what is available to you?
We need to define what the biggest actually means. It really depends if you want to buy a commercial one or have it custom made. Either way, the answer you may get is very different.
Since custom sizes are just that, it is difficult to give you an accurate answer.
If you use google images, you will see some huge suitcases, literally the size of people. Whether they are functional items is another story but they can be amazing to see.
There are very few limits if you can find a custom manufacturer who can make you whatever you need to whatever specification. Obviously, you will need to pay more for this service but you can literally specify exactly what you want.
If it is an off the shelf XXL suitcase that you want more information on, I will list some below that you may be interested in. At the very least, it will give you an indication of biggest suitcases you can buy.
The reality
Those images are great and quite interesting to look at. However, they are not realistic.
If you are genuinely interested in buying the biggest suitcase in the world, you may need to have a look at the following brands.
Each of these make huge suitcases designed for families and long trips away.
Of course, this is just a selection of the biggest brands but there are many others available.
How to find the biggest suitcase in the world?
It is a little more time consuming but the best way is a two-way approach.
The first is to visit an online marketplace like Amazon. Head over to the luggage section and then use the navigation filters to narrow down to the largest suitcases.
Another method I find works is to narrow down the brands you like and then use their product content to search their largest offering.
Things to consider before you buy the biggest suitcase in the world?
It may seem like a fantastic, functional buy to buy the biggest suitcase in the world but it may lead to a few issues you may not have considered.
Transportation
These suitcases are big…very big. It therefore makes them difficult to transport easily. For example, putting them in the boot of your car may be problematic as well as moving them using their wheels. If they don’t have wheels, they are pretty much impossible to move when fully laden.
Airplane restrictions
All airplanes have restrictions of one type or another. Often, they restrict the size by both dimensions and weight. Failure to meet these restrictions may mean that they may refuse to check in the luggage or you may have to pay significant penalties.
Your own storage
You may need the biggest suitcase in the world for a specific reason, but have you considered where you may store it until it is needed again? These items are large and bulky, almost the size of some items of furniture.
It clear that this needs to be a consideration as they need to be stored in a dry place. Leaving them outside under cover is not an option.
Too heavy to move
It may be great that you can fit everything but the kitchen sink into your suitcase…but can you move it? Push or pull it…can you maneuver it? If the answer is no, then it is pointless buying it.
At the very least, it may be a two-man job to move so do you have somebody to help?
You also should consider you own health and well being. You could easily injure yourself lifting a really heavy item…so please be careful and manage the risk.
Alternatives to consider
After considering whether buying such a large case is appropriate, you may want to consider some alternatives.
Here are some of the alternatives you could consider;
Have you thought of simply buying two smaller cases? This gives you a greater flexibility in terms of weight and portability. It is easier to manage full stop and easier to store too.
If the specific item you have requires such a large suitcase, you may want to get a custom-made protection container. This may work out at the same cost but also give you a permanent storage solution.
You may also want to look past suitcases altogether. Have you considered wheeled boxes? These come in a range of sizes and are easier to wheel around as they are designed to wheel heavy items.
These solutions may work out better…they may not but if you feel you need to buy such a large case, then you should at least consider the ramifications of it.
Biggest suitcases in the world…some to consider
Here are some of the biggest suitcases we know of…obviously there will be many brands that offer their products at a variety of price points.
Verdict
I have shown you some examples of what is available commercially. Hopefully they are large enough to meet your needs. If not, then you really need to consider alternatives as you will encounter issues of portability, convenience and safety.
Whichever way you choose, please remember to act in a safe manner as the risk of injury is higher with heavier and larger luggage.
Let me know your experiences in handling the largest luggage and what problems you encountered. If you have a specific product that will meet the criteria of the biggest suitcase in the world…let us know.
