Moving Space Estimators
How much space will you
need in our moving equipment?
With U-Pack, you don’t have to worry about paying for space you don’t need — you only pay for what you use. But having a good estimate ahead of time can help you plan more effectively. Use these charts to compare our equipment to home sizes, rental trucks and storage units to get a better idea of what to expect.
