Leave it to a pilot to come up with this idea! After years of dragging, carrying, and lugging bags all over the place Bob Plath. In 1989 Bob Plath said that wheels on the luggage would eliminate the need to lug all those bags and ease the strain on the back. An added advantage to luggage with wheels is that it allowed the user to move through travel terminals with more ease and in less time.
After the first wheeled luggage was created Bob Plath began the company Travelpro. From this time on, the quality of travel was changed. Eventually all luggage companies incorporated wheels on their luggage.
Travelers rarely will find luggage now without wheels. They were created in an effort to make travel easier. Now even backpacks and tote bags have wheels. Wheels are also found on kid’s luggage. Computer bags and duffel bags as well as garment bags also have wheels. (more…)
