Approximate Sizes of Container Houses

The sizes of container houses are quite flexible, with common specifications covering various types, specifically including standard sizes, foreign trade sizes, customized sizes, and special-type sizes.

Regarding standard sizes:

• The commonly used standard size in China is mostly 6 meters in length, 3 meters in width, and 2.9 meters in height. Container houses of this size are widely applied in scenarios such as on-site accommodation, offices, and medical epidemic prevention. For example, many worker dormitories commonly seen on construction sites adopt this specification, which can accommodate about 10 people and can also be transformed into toilets, kitchens, etc.
• There is also a specification of 3 meters in length, 3 meters in width, and 2.8 meters in height, with an area of 9 square meters. It is relatively small and is mostly used as guard posts or small warehouses on construction sites. If used for accommodation, it can accommodate about 2 people. Another specification is 7 meters in length, 3 meters in width, and 2.8 meters in height, which is often used as a two-story container mobile house with corridors and balconies, suitable for the second floor of construction site dormitories.

Regarding foreign trade sizes:

• The foreign trade size range of Apple Pods extends from 5.8 meters × 2.2 meters to 11.5 meters × 2.2 meters, corresponding to two main models: 20-foot and 40-foot, with areas of approximately 12.98 square meters and 25.96 square meters respectively.
• The external dimensions of a 20-foot standard container are 6058 × 2438 × 2591 mm, and the internal dimensions are 5867 × 2330 × 2350 mm; the external dimensions of a 40-foot standard container are 12192 × 2438 × 2591 mm, and the internal dimensions are 11998 × 2330 × 2350 mm; the external dimensions of a 40-foot high-cube container are 12192 × 2438 × 2896 mm, and the internal dimensions are 11998 × 2330 × 2655 mm.

Regarding customized sizes:

• The standard width of a single pod of Apple Pods is 3 meters, and the length can be selected as 3 meters, 6 meters, 9 meters, or 12 meters, supporting multiple arrangements, combinations, and stacking.
• Customized types are generally made according to customer requirements. The size and area can be large or small. The width can be selected as 2.5 m, 2.55 m, 3 m, 4 m, etc., and the height can be selected as 2.6 m, 2.7 m, 2.8 m, 2.9 m, etc. Special door and window positions, partitions, appearance, and interior decoration can all be customized as needed.

Regarding special-type sizes:

• In giant black container buildings, each container is about 12 meters long, 2.4 meters wide, and 3 meters high.
• The 20-foot double-wing expandable container has an indoor usable area of approximately 36 square meters after expansion. During transportation, the space on both sides is retracted, and when it arrives at the site, the wing bodies on both sides are expanded to form the usable space.
