How the calculator works out your size
Real volumes
Every item has its own volume, from a 1.5 cu ft archive box to a 90 cu ft corner sofa, based on standard moving inventories.
How things pack
Boxes stack tightly; sofas, glass and fridges do not. Each kind of item gets its own packing allowance, so a list of furniture needs more room than the same volume of boxes.
Floor space and length
Items that cannot take weight need their own floor, and long items must fit along a wall or stand upright under the 8 ft ceiling. A unit only fits when all three checks pass.

Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the calculator?
It uses each item's real volume and floor space, how well that kind of item packs, and whether you dismantle furniture or need a walkway. It is a planning estimate; send us photos or a video and we confirm the size in writing.
Why does it check floor space as well as volume?
Some things cannot be stacked: glass tables, mirrors, artwork and upholstered sofas. They need their own floor area, so a unit can be too small even when the total volume fits.
What if my items need more than 200 sq ft?
The calculator suggests a combination of units. For large business volumes, ask about warehouse space at our Ajman facility.
Should I leave room for a walkway?
Only if you will take things out during the rental. Tick the walkway option and the calculator reserves space for it.
Can I send my list to Ruby?
Yes. Use the quote button in your result and your item list goes into the quote form, so we can confirm the size and price.
