Storage Unit Sizes Guide

Choosing the right storage unit size is essential to getting value for money. Too small and you can't fit everything; too large and you're paying for unused space. ThaiGo Moving offers six standard unit sizes ranging from a compact locker (ideal for student essentials or a few boxes) to a large warehouse-grade unit that can accommodate the complete contents of a four-bedroom home. Our storage advisors are always available to help you estimate the right size based on your inventory — and upsizing mid-contract is easy if you underestimate.

As a general guide: a small locker (1–2 sqm) fits 10–20 boxes or a studio apartment's worth of small items. A medium unit (4–5 sqm) handles a one-bedroom apartment's furniture and boxes. A large unit (10 sqm) comfortably stores a three-bedroom home's contents with room to walk in. Our XL warehouse unit (25 sqm) is designed for business inventory, large commercial equipment, or full residential storage for families relocating abroad. All units are measured by floor area; ceiling heights range from 2.4 m to 3.5 m depending on location and size.

We recommend using our free online size estimator tool, which lets you enter rooms and item types to generate a recommended unit size. You can also book a free phone consultation with our storage team, who will ask about your inventory and give a size recommendation within minutes. Remember that you can always access your unit and reorganise — adding vertical shelving (available to rent from our facilities) often unlocks surprising extra capacity in a smaller unit, saving you money versus upgrading to the next size.
