travel luggage that can hold 30-40kg

I'm looking to buy a decent large luggage that can hold 30-40kg without any problem. I know it's a bit over but I'm travelling with a toddler and a pregnant lady :) so I don't want to add too many luggage to carry .

Do you guys have any suggestions ? I don't want to spend too much on this but also don't want to buy something cheap that does not do the job .

    You might not be able to travel by air with a case that holds 40kg as it is very heavy for someone to carry. I think there are maximum bag weight restrictions that are less than 40kg.
    If you always do what you have always done, you will always get what you always got!
  • Are you allowed 30-40 kg in one case?

    I have seen "heavy" stickers on a bag weighing 32kg I would be surprised if they allow 40kg. If you get 2 decent sized bags holding around 23kgs on 4 spinning wheels you can control them with one hand and hold a toddler with the other or the pregnant lady can push the toddler in the pram.

    If it's for air travel, most airlines/airports will refuse to take anything over 32kg as it's too much for the baggage handlers.

    Well , I need to check this . Thank you.

    We are travelling in Sri Lankan airlines . We have got 120kg allowance :) 40kg per person. Our plan is to take max two suitcases for obvious reason.

    You're right ! it's max 32 kg

    "However, the maximum weight per piece of luggage should not exceed 32 kgs"

    Any decent sized case could hold 30-40kg - it all depends what you're packing into it

    There a travel luggage you can buy that can hold up to 30 kg. I think 30 kg is the only allowed luggage for each passenger.

    Yeah, but will the wheels, handles etc stand up to 40kg? I don't know - luggage specifications don't tend to address this point.
