Container House Rental and Wholesale

Admin September 16, 2026

The prices for container house rental and wholesale vary depending on the supplier, region, specifications, and configurations, ranging from several hundred yuan to tens of thousands of yuan. Here is a detailed analysis:

I. Price Range and Influencing Factors

  1. Basic Container Houses: Such as construction site dormitories and simple office buildings, the prices are mostly between 600 yuan and 3000 yuan per month (for rental) or 6000 yuan and 10,000 yuan per unit (for wholesale). For example, the rental price of the construction site dormitory color-steel houses from Guangdong Guangsheng Integrated Housing Technology Co., Ltd. is about 6300 yuan per unit, and the rental price of the residential container houses from Hangzhou Hangyue Fence Technology Co., Ltd. is as low as 6 yuan per square meter per month.
  2. Customized or High-end Container Houses: Such as those for scenic area homestays and commercial shops, the prices increase significantly. The rental price of the mobile modular buildings from Zhejiang Xiaoya Prefabricated Building Co., Ltd. reaches 1600 yuan per month, and the wholesale price of the quick-assembly container houses from Shanghai Ninggang Steel Structure Engineering Co., Ltd. is as high as 9800 yuan per unit.
  3. Second-hand or Old Container Houses: The prices are lower, but attention should be paid to material wear and tear. For example, the rental price of the old shipping containers from Dalian Shipping is about 1800 yuan per unit, and the wholesale price of second-hand containers in Shenzhen starts at 3900 yuan per unit.

II. Regional Differences

  1. First-tier Cities: Due to high demand in cities like Beijing and Shanghai, the prices are relatively high. For example, the rental prices of container houses from Beijing Yijutiancheng Portable Housing Co., Ltd. generally range from 3000 yuan to 6900 yuan per unit, and the rental price of the cabin from Shanghai Jiejie Container Co., Ltd. reaches 9061.96 yuan per unit.
  2. Second and Third-tier Cities: The prices are relatively more affordable. For example, the wholesale price of residential containers from Ma'anshan Guizu Container Co., Ltd. needs to be negotiated in person, and the price of residential containers for construction site use in Shaoxing City is about 8000 yuan to 10,000 yuan per unit.

III. Services and Additional Conditions

  1. Delivery and After-sales Service: Most suppliers offer services such as "48-hour delivery" and "7-day replacement", and some support in-depth factory inspections and material guarantees.
  2. Supporting Facilities: The degree of internal decoration, such as air conditioners, anti-theft nets, and lighting, affects the price. For example, container houses for rent in Hangzhou are generally equipped with basic living facilities, while simple storage houses have lower prices.

IV. Wholesale and Rental Recommendations

  1. Bulk Purchases: Contact manufacturers (such as Anhui Luyuanfang Integrated Housing Co., Ltd. and Suzhou Zhongsuji Technology Development Co., Ltd.) to get discounts. It is necessary to clarify core parameters such as materials (color-steel plates, channel steels, etc.) and fire and water resistance.
  2. Long-term Rentals: Give priority to suppliers that support recycling and customization (such as Beijing Yijutiancheng) to reduce overall costs.
