U‑Haul 15 ft truck

A 10x15 storage unit (10'0" × 15'0", 8'0" ceiling) takes our whole 2‑bedroom list (73 pieces), by our 3D packing, but not our 3‑bedroom list (70 of 117). To move a full one, the smallest truck for that 2‑bedroom load is the U‑Haul 15 ft truck (69% full).

What the storage companies say a 10x15 holds

  • CubeSmart: the belongings of a two-bedroom apartment.
  • StorageMart: a small 2–3 bedroom home, or 14–16 ft truck loads.
  • Public Storage: the contents of a two-bedroom home.

By our packing, it holds our 2‑bedroom list whole. Storage companies count a unit packed to the ceiling; our planner leaves the gaps a real load leaves, so treat their numbers as the most it could take.

Or move it in containers

Unit size from CubeSmart's 10x15 page ("A 10×15 foot storage unit is 10 feet wide, 15 feet deep, and 8 feet tall."), checked 2026-10-30; Public Storage lists the same floor size. Every company calls its sizes approximate, and ceilings vary by facility (some are 9 or 10 feet). The door, about 8'0" wide and 7'0" high, is a typical size, not a published one: measure yours.
