What are the features and benefits of the extended handle and wheels?
To enable ease of transport, some of the cases—known as the Storm Trak® Series— feature in-line wheels and extended handles. The extended telescoping handle simply extends or locks away with the simple push of a button. Storm Case extended handles are a wide-tubular design, sleek and exceptionally strong. Our competition either offers big and bulky or thin-rod designs. Also, our in-line wheels are rugged urethane wheels with shielded bearings, offering a long life of smooth operation. The core of the wheel is made from nylon and the outer tread or tire is made from polyurethane, which provides a smoother, quieter rolling action than hard plastic. Shielded ball bearing wheels are also low-friction, which means rolling the case for long distances is easier because there is less drag than in a similar wheel with plain bearings.
