STORAGE SIZE GUIDE

Not sure what size storage unit you need?

Finding the right space is easier than you think. Use our guide to get a quick, clear idea of the storage unit size that could suit your needs.

The examples below help you estimate the space required based on your home, your moving load or the number of boxes you plan to store.

Find the example that best matches your belongings and discover the right space for you.

BY HOME SIZE

What size storage unit do I need for my household belongings?

Selected household items

1–3 m²

Studio flat

3–4 m²

T1

4–6 m²

T2

7-9 m²

T3

10–12 m²

Please note: These figures are indicative. The space required depends on the amount and size of your belongings, whether furniture can be dismantled and items safely stacked, the unit’s usable height and any access you need during storage. The number of bedrooms does not guarantee that the entire contents of a home will fit in the suggested space. Our team can help you check which option suits your needs.

BY MOVING LOAD

Planning a move?

Use your vehicle’s approximate load volume as a starting point to help estimate the storage space you may need.

Car
small load

1–2 m²

Small
van

2–3 m²

Panel

4–6 m²

Moving
van 3,5t

6-8 m²

Small
removal truck

9–10 m²

Large
removal truck

12 m²

Please note: These comparisons are indicative only. There is no fixed conversion between vehicle type and storage unit size. The space required depends on the actual volume transported, the number of trips, the unit’s usable height and how your belongings can be arranged and safely stacked. The 3.5-tonne designation refers to vehicle weight, not load volume. A large load may require more than 12 m² or several storage units.

If you know the approximate volume of your belongings in cubic metres (m³), share it with our team. If you only know the vehicle you will be using, tell us its model or load-space dimensions, how full you expect it to be and the number of trips planned. We will help you estimate the space you need.

Please note: These estimates assume boxes of similar dimensions that can be safely stacked, with no furniture or other bulky items stored alongside them. Actual capacity depends on the unit’s layout and usable height, the strength and weight of the boxes and any space needed for access. Larger, heavy or non-stackable boxes may require more floor space. Always follow the manufacturer’s load limits and stacking instructions.
