How Big Is a U-Pack Moving Trailer?


Need room for furniture, boxes and everything else you're taking to your new home? U-Pack trailers offer plenty of space for household moves, with room for the contents of a 3- to 4-bedroom home. 


And you don't have to fill the entire trailer to use it! With U-Pack, you pay for the space you need.
 

 

Moving trailer dimensions


U-Pack moving trailers measure 28 feet long, 8 feet wide and 9 feet tall on the outside. Inside, there are 27 feet of usable length, 8 feet of width and 9 feet of height.

  • Exterior length: 28 feet
  • Exterior width: 8 feet
  • Exterior height: 9 feet
  • Interior length: 27 feet
  • Interior width: 8 feet
  • Interior height: 9 feet
  • Total loading capacity: 1,944 cubic feet
     


The trailer sits about 48 inches off the ground, but don't worry about lifting everything inside. A loading ramp is provided to make it easier to load furniture and boxes into the trailer.
 

How much fits in a trailer?


A full U-Pack trailer holds approximately 1,944 cubic feet of household belongings. That's enough space for the furnishings of a 3- to 4-bedroom home. Not moving that much? No problem! You can use just part of the trailer (down to 5 linear feet). 
 

Your belongings stay together in their own section of the trailer, separated by a bulkhead (divider wall).
 

How much space do you need?


The amount of trailer space you'll need depends on how much you're moving. 

As a starting point, here are space estimates based on home size:
 

  • Studio: 5–6 linear feet
  • 1 bedroom: 7 linear feet
  • 2 bedrooms: 13 linear feet
  • 3 bedrooms: 17 linear feet
  • 4 bedrooms: 23 linear feet
  • 5+ bedrooms: 35+ linear feet
     

These are estimates, not exact measurements. You may need more room if you have a lot of furniture, belongings in storage or outdoor equipment to move.
