Container House Specifications

Container house specifications vary widely; common types cover standard container houses, common movable panel container houses, special-size movable panel container houses, modular box-house units, and Beijing Shunyi portable container houses, as detailed below:

Among standard container houses, a 20 ft box measures 5898 mm × 2352 mm × 2390 mm, or 5.898 m long, 2.352 m wide, and 2.39 m high. Interior length is about 5.9 m and width about 2.3 m; nominal capacity is 33 m³, though about 28 m³ can actually be loaded because corners need clearance. A 40 ft box holds 58 m³, a bit more than two 20 ft boxes joined. 60 ft boxes offer still larger sizes for different scene needs.

A common movable panel container house is 3 m × 6 m × 2.8 m. This size offers a moderate footprint with enough living and work space and a comfortable height that does not feel oppressive. Units can also be stacked vertically or joined side by side to form larger usable space.

Special-size movable panel container houses—for example 7 m long and 3 m wide—are usually for specific scenes such as temporary offices or scenic homestays and provide space matched to need.

For modular box-house unit specs, unit length is 6055 mm with interior clear length 5845 mm; unit width is 2990 mm or 2435 mm, with interior clear widths 2780 mm or 2220 mm; unit height is 2896 mm with interior clear height 2500 mm.

Beijing Shunyi portable container houses are often 3 m × 6 m × 2.7 m, a common local size that meets typical use needs. Different specs have different strengths; choose by actual use, site conditions, and related factors.
