Pro Tips

Get the truck size exactly right.

Practical tips from thousands of moves across India.

Always Add 10-15% Buffer

Packing material takes space. If your calculated volume is 400 cu ft, choose a truck with 450-500 cu ft capacity to be safe.

Bigger Is Safer Than Smaller

A smaller truck means multiple trips or leaving items behind. A slightly bigger truck is almost always the safer choice.

Sell Before You Size

Sell or donate unused items first, then calculate volume. This can drop you to a smaller and cheaper truck.

Flat Layouts Fill Differently

Furniture from a 2 BHK on the 10th floor will fill the same volume as one on the ground floor — but loading time changes.

Container vs Open Truck

Containers cost 20-40% more but give weather protection. Worth it for electronics and fragile items on long routes.

Small Truck = Lower Cost

Moving from a 19 ft truck to a 14 ft truck on the same route can save you ₹5,000-15,000. Size right the first time.

FAQ

Common questions, clearly answered.

How do I calculate the truck size I need for shifting?
Add up the approximate volume of all items you are moving. A 1 BHK typically needs 350-450 cubic feet, a 2 BHK needs 550-700 cubic feet, a 3 BHK needs 850-1,100 cubic feet, and a 4 BHK or villa needs 1,200-1,800 cubic feet. Compare this to the capacity of each truck type to choose the right one.
Which truck is best for a 2 BHK move?
A 2 BHK move typically requires an Eicher 17 ft or Eicher 19 ft truck. If you have a lot of furniture and appliances, a 20 ft container truck is safer. For a lighter 2 BHK move, an Eicher 14 ft may suffice.
What is the smallest truck available for shifting?
The smallest truck used for shifting is a Tata Ace or Bolero Pickup, which is about 7 feet long and holds around 160-200 cubic feet. It is ideal for PG moves, single items, or a few cartons.
What size truck fits a 1 BHK house?
A 1 BHK house typically fits in an Eicher 14 ft truck (around 600 cubic feet). For very minimal 1 BHK moves, a large Bolero Pickup or Tata 407 may work.
What is the biggest truck used for shifting?
The biggest trucks used for household shifting are 32 ft multi-axle containers, holding around 2,000 cubic feet. They are typically used for 4 BHK homes, villas, and large office relocations.
How much does truck size affect the moving cost?
Truck size significantly impacts cost because larger trucks consume more fuel, require bigger crews, and have higher tolls. Moving from a 14 ft truck to a 20 ft container can increase cost by 40-60% for the same distance.
Can I use a mini truck for a 1 BHK move?
For a very small or sparsely furnished 1 BHK, a large mini truck or Tata 407 can work. However, most standard 1 BHK homes require an Eicher 14 ft truck to fit all furniture and appliances comfortably.
Is it better to take a bigger truck than needed?
A slightly bigger truck is usually better than a smaller one, because a small truck means multiple trips or leaving items behind. However, taking a much bigger truck than needed wastes money. Choose the closest match to your actual volume.
