Container House Price and Structure
The price of container houses varies significantly, ranging from several thousand to tens of thousands of yuan, depending on factors such as configuration, size, and materials. Structurally, they primarily feature steel frameworks, emphasizing frame stability and spatial expandability.

Price Range and Influencing Factors
The price of container houses is significantly influenced by configuration, size, materials, and functional requirements. For example, a basic 3×6-meter residential container costs approximately 10,000 yuan to purchase and 6 yuan per day to rent. Simple foldable container mobile homes can be as low as 100 yuan per square meter but offer limited functionality. High-end double-wing expandable container houses, with strong spatial expandability and high-quality materials, can cost between 50,000 and 64,000 yuan. Customized requirements, such as solar systems and sewage treatment devices, further increase costs.
Structural Features and Design Specifications
Frame Structure
Container houses are centered around steel frameworks and must comply with the Building Structural Design Code. For instance, Suzhou Zhongnan's packing-box units use a fully steel framework, achieving a wind resistance rating of 12 and an earthquake resistance rating of 8, with a frame deformation rate of only 0.18%, well below the industry's 0.3% pass threshold. CIMC's standard container houses have a wind resistance rating of 11 and an earthquake resistance rating of 7, while Yazhi's quick-assembly containers have a wind resistance rating of 10 and an earthquake resistance rating of 7. Non-standard white-label products typically have deformation rates exceeding 1.2%, posing safety risks.Spatial Expandability
Double-wing expandable container houses achieve spatial expansion through foldable or sliding designs, with greater expansion allowing for broader application scenarios. For example, Haojin Environmental Protection's double-wing expandable container houses significantly increase space after expansion, meeting the needs of temporary exhibitions and emergency rescue scenarios that require high spatial flexibility.Material Quality
High-quality steel (such as Q345B) and eco-friendly insulation materials (such as rock wool and polyurethane) are crucial. Haojin Environmental Protection's container houses use steel that meets the Building Material Quality Standard, with durability exceeding 20 years. Cangzhou Xingmiao's cross-border double-wing foldable container houses use materials that have undergone in-depth factory inspections, ensuring environmental protection.
Application Scenarios and Selection Recommendations
- Temporary Office/Accommodation: Prioritize products with high wind and earthquake resistance ratings (such as 12 for wind and 8 for earthquake) and easy assembly, like Suzhou Zhongnan's packing-box units.
- Long-Term Residence: Focus on the rationality of structural design, material environmental friendliness, and spatial expandability, such as Haojin Environmental Protection's double-wing expandable houses.
- Extreme Conditions: Always verify product testing reports and avoid unqualified white-label products to prevent risks such as wall cracking and frame tilting.
