Maximizing Space: The Surprising Capacity of a 20-Foot Storage Unit

Have you ever looked at a 20-foot storage unit and wondered, “Exactly how much stuff can I fit in there?” It’s a common question, especially when planning a move, organizing your home, or looking for a flexible storage solution for your business. Load and Geaux Portable Storage is here to demystify the capacity of these versatile units and show you just how much value you can get out of a single 20-foot container.

A Glimpse Into the 20-Foot Wonder

First off, let’s talk about dimensions. A 20-foot storage unit typically measures about 20 feet in length, 8 feet in width, and 8.6 feet in height on the outside. Due to the thickness of the walls, the inside dimensions are slightly smaller, generally around 19.4 feet by 7.7 feet by 7.9 feet, giving you a total volume of approximately 1,172 cubic feet or 33.2 cubic meters.

What Does That Mean for Storage?

So, what can you fit in such a space? Quite a bit, as it turns out:

• Household Moving: Whether you’re moving across town or the country, a 20-foot unit can comfortably hold the contents of a small to medium-sized apartment or home. This includes large pieces of furniture, appliances, and boxes filled with personal items and home decor.
• Office Relocations: For businesses undergoing a relocation or needing extra space, these units can store desks, chairs, computers, and filing cabinets – essentially, the contents of an average office space.
• Commercial Use: The units are also perfect for storing or transporting a large stock of merchandise, equipment, and other commercial goods. Their robust design makes them suitable for various industries.

Maximizing Your Unit’s Potential

How much you can fit in your storage unit depends significantly on how you pack. Efficient packing ensures that you maximize the available space and helps keep your items secure during transport or storage. The limit of 22,000 to 28,000 pounds is also crucial to ensure safety and compliance.
