Admin September 15, 2026

Common sizes of container houses include 3m in length, 3m in width, and 2.8m in height; 6m in length, 3m in width, and 2.8m in height; 7m in length, 3m in width, and 2.8m in height, as well as 20-foot, 30-foot, and 40-foot specifications, and they can also be customized.

Common Standard Sizes

  • Small Size: 3m in length, 3m in width, and 2.8m in height, with an area of 9 square meters. This size is relatively small. Since material waste may occur during production, it is usually made only when customers have special requirements. It is commonly used as a guard room on construction sites or a small item warehouse.
  • Standard Size: 6m in length, 3m in width, and 2.8m in height, with an area of 18 square meters. This is a commonly seen standard-sized container house on the market. It is frequently used in construction sites and road construction projects. It can serve as a worker dormitory or be transformed into a toilet or kitchen on construction sites.
  • Two-Story Container Size: 7m in length, 3m in width, and 2.8m in height, with an area of 21 square meters. Mostly used for two-story container mobile homes, it has corridors and balconies. On construction sites, dormitories with two floors often use containers of this size, and they can also be used independently.

Other Specifications

  • 20-Foot Specification: For example, Yashun Light Steel YSHUN produced a 20-foot double-wing expandable container for a project in Chile. During transportation, the space on both sides is folded in for easy loading into containers and transportation. After arriving at the site and expanding the wings on both sides, the indoor usable area is about 36 square meters.
  • 30-Foot and 40-Foot Specifications: An expandable house 1.0 [30-foot] with dimensions of 9000×6612×2900mm has appeared in relevant procurement lists. However, there is relatively little information on the specific dimensions of 40-foot container houses in the references.

Custom Sizes

Sizes can be customized according to customer requirements, with areas that can be large or small. Beijing Yuanhao Integrated Housing Technology Co., Ltd. can produce containers and container houses of different specifications and models such as 3m, 4m, 6m, 9m, and 12m. It can also undertake on-site production, processing, and installation projects of container mobile homes in various regions. If there are special requirements, customization based on drawings is available.
