3x4 Mobile Container House

Admin September 17, 2026

The price, weight, and characteristics of the 3x4 mobile container house are as follows:

Price
The price of a 3x4 mobile container house varies significantly depending on the supplier, configuration, materials, and pricing method. When priced per unit, some suppliers quote 5800.00 yuan per unit; when priced per square meter, the price is approximately 180.00 yuan per square meter. Assuming a standard area of 12 square meters (3 meters × 4 meters), the total price would be around 2160 yuan, though this may fluctuate based on configuration adjustments. In overall quotes, some products are priced at 9500.00 yuan per unit, which may include higher-specification finishes or additional features. Price differences primarily stem from material grades (e.g., ordinary steel plate vs. anti-corrosion steel plate), internal facilities (e.g., electrical circuits, door and window types), and supplier brand premiums.

Weight
The empty weight of a standard 3-meter × 4-meter container house typically ranges from 800 kilograms to 2000 kilograms (0.8 tons to 2 tons). Weight is influenced by four main factors:

  1. Structural Type: Frame-type structures, which use more steel, generally weigh more than modular拼接 (modular assembled) structures;
  2. Material Selection: Wall panels made of rock wool sandwich panels (density approximately 120 kg/m³) are heavier than those made of polystyrene panels (density approximately 20 kg/m³);
  3. Customized Dimensions: Increasing the height or expanding the area leads to a rise in steel usage and, consequently, weight;
  4. Internal Finishes: Installing flooring, bathroom fixtures, etc., significantly adds weight. For example, tile flooring is about 30 kg/m² heavier than PVC flooring.

Other Characteristics

  1. Non-Standard Dimensions: The 3-meter × 4-meter size is not a standard shipping container size and requires custom production, resulting in a production cycle that is typically 5-7 working days longer than that for standard sizes (e.g., 20-foot or 40-foot containers);
  2. Customizable Features: Support for adding awnings (increasing shaded area), external stairs (improving double-story accessibility), or double-story structural design (doubling space utilization), though these require additional customization fees;
  3. Application Scenarios: Due to its flexible size, it is commonly used for temporary on-site offices, commercial stalls, homestay renovations, etc. However, note that some regions have planning and approval requirements for non-standard buildings.

It is recommended to clarify usage needs before purchasing and to focus on material lists and after-sales service terms when comparing supplier quotes to ensure cost-effectiveness and safety.
