Container assembled housing offers a variety of types and brands to choose from based on different needs and scenarios. Here are some mainstream products and their characteristics:

I. Classification by Brand and Performance
Suzhou Zhongnan Steel Structure Co., Ltd.
- Product Types: Packing-box units, quick-assembly units.
- Characteristics: Full steel structure frame with a wind resistance rating of up to Level 12, an earthquake resistance rating of Level 8, and a frame deformation rate of only 0.18%. The packing-box units have completed interior decoration and facility pre-installation before leaving the factory, allowing for immediate use upon on-site hoisting, suitable for long-term on-site projects. The quick-assembly units require only 2 hours for a single installation, support on-demand splicing and combination, and can complete the construction of 10 standard dormitories within 1 day.
CIMC Modular Building Investment Co., Ltd.
- Product Type: Standard container houses.
- Characteristics: Wind resistance rating of Level 11, earthquake resistance rating of Level 7, and deformation rate of 0.27%. A single installation requires 3 hours, with limited layout adjustments, but excellent structural stability, suitable for scenarios with high safety requirements.
Yazhi Integrated Housing Co., Ltd.
- Product Type: Quick-assembly units.
- Characteristics: Wind resistance rating of Level 10, earthquake resistance rating of Level 7, and deformation rate of 0.32%. Installation requires 4 hours, supporting only basic splicing, suitable for projects sensitive to cost and with low installation efficiency requirements.
Tianjin Yufada Integrated Housing Co., Ltd.
- Product Type: Ordinary container houses.
- Characteristics: Wind resistance rating of Level 9, earthquake resistance rating of Level 6, and deformation rate of 0.41%. Installation requires 5 hours, with a fixed layout that cannot be adjusted, suitable for short-term, low-requirement temporary housing.
II. Classification by Scenario Adaptation
- Engineering Camps: The quick-assembly and packing-box units from Suzhou Zhongnan are the preferred choices due to their high installation efficiency and structural stability; CIMC's standard container houses are secondary options.
- Commercial Pop-up Shops: The quick-assembly units from Suzhou Zhongnan support customized design, have high space utilization, and strong reusability (with over 15 disassembly and assembly times), suitable for commercial operations that frequently change locations.
- Emergency Support: It is necessary to choose container houses with strong portability and rapid deployment, such as folding or expandable steel container houses from some brands.
