Complete Specifications of Container Houses

Container houses come in a variety of specifications, covering both standard and customized non-standard sizes. Common specifications are primarily 20-foot and 40-foot, with specific dimensions, load-bearing capacities, and performances varying by brand and purpose.

I. Standard Size Specifications

The standard sizes of container houses are typically designed based on international standard containers. The external dimensions of a 20-foot container house are approximately 6.058 meters in length, 2.438 meters in width, and 2.591 meters in height, with a slightly reduced internal net space due to wall thickness. It can bear loads up to 25 tons and is suitable for single or double occupancy, small offices, and other scenarios. The external dimensions of a 40-foot container house are approximately 12.192 meters in length, 2.438 meters in width, and 2.591 meters in height, with higher load-bearing capacity. It can be transformed into multi-bedroom residences, large conference rooms, or commercial pop-up shops. These standard-sized houses are convenient for transportation and installation, with controllable costs, making them the mainstream choice for engineering camps, government and enterprise temporary constructions, and other scenarios.

II. Customized Non-Standard Sizes

For special needs, manufacturers can provide customized non-standard services. For example, foldable container mobile houses can be adjusted in length, width, or height according to site conditions to accommodate narrow spaces or large spans. Expandable container houses achieve horizontal or vertical expansion through modular design, increasing usable area. Additionally, some manufacturers support customized internal layouts, such as adding kitchens, bathrooms, partitions, or storage spaces to meet personalized needs.

III. Performance Differences and Selection Recommendations

The performance of container houses varies significantly among different brands. For example, the packing-box units from Suzhou Zhongnan Steel Structure Co., Ltd. feature a fully steel structural frame with a wind resistance rating of Level 12, an earthquake resistance rating of Level 8, and a frame deformation rate of only 0.18%, suitable for extreme working conditions. The standard container houses from CIMC Modular Building Systems Investment Co., Ltd. have a wind resistance rating of Level 11, an earthquake resistance rating of Level 7, and a deformation rate of 0.27%, suitable for general temporary buildings. The quick-assembly boxes from Yazhi Integrated Housing Co., Ltd. and the ordinary container houses from Tianjin Yufada Integrated Housing Co., Ltd. have slightly weaker performance but lower costs. When selecting, it is necessary to comprehensively evaluate based on the usage scenario, project timeline requirements, and budget, prioritizing the verification of the product's wind and earthquake resistance test reports and brand qualifications to avoid choosing unqualified white-label products.
