Abstract: A mounting element for the wheels of rolling containers comprises: a load-bearing member rigidly attachable to a bottom edge of a container designed to be rolled along a surface; an arm supporting at least one wheel designed to enable the container to be rolled on the surface; a pivot connecting the load-bearing member to the arm; and a helical spring located between load-bearing member and the arm. The latter, together with the load-bearing member defines a substantially sealed chamber within which the spring is enclosed and protected, and presents three end portions located at respective vertices of a triangle, a first portion being rotatably attached to the pivot, a second portion rotatably supporting the wheel and a third portion being attached to the spring.
