Container House Transportation Flowchart

The transportation process of container houses is mainly divided into three stages: loading, transportation, unloading, and assembly, with specific steps as follows:

1. Loading Stage: Equipment Fixation and Vehicle Adaptation
The loading of container houses requires the use of professional equipment. First, the container house is lifted using a crane, gantry crane, or forklift, ensuring that the lifting gear matches the stress points of the house structure to avoid local deformation. Before loading onto the transport vehicle, anti-slip mats, fixing brackets, and other devices are laid on the vehicle deck or cargo platform. The container house is then slowly placed and adjusted to ensure the center of gravity is centered. The key step is fixation: the house is connected to the vehicle using straps, chains, or bolts, with special attention given to reinforcing the four corners and edges to prevent slippage or overturning during transportation due to bumps. If the house is a multi-story structure, support frames are also installed between floors to distribute vertical pressure.

2. Transportation Stage: Route Planning and Dynamic Monitoring
The transport vehicle must be selected based on the size and weight of the container house, such as a low-bed semi-trailer (suitable for extra-long/wide houses) or a standard van (suitable for conventional sizes). Before transportation, the route must be planned to avoid height and width restrictions, as well as bumpy roads, reducing sharp turns or sudden braking. During transportation, the driver must maintain a constant speed and use the onboard monitoring system to observe the house's condition in real-time. If any strap loosening or abnormal noise is detected, the vehicle must stop immediately for inspection. For long-distance transportation, the fixing devices must be inspected every 2-3 hours to ensure safety.

3. Unloading and Assembly Stage: Precision Lifting and Modular Assembly
Upon arrival at the destination, the unloading method depends on the house's purpose:

• Overall Lifting: If the house is an independent unit (e.g., a temporary office), it is directly lifted from the transport vehicle to the designated location using a crane and fixed to the foundation with anchor bolts.
• Modular Assembly: For large-scale projects (e.g., multi-story dormitories), the main container body is first lifted onto the foundation platform. Then, secondary modules (e.g., bathrooms, kitchens) are slid out like drawers using slide rail devices and finally fixed with bolts or welding. During assembly, it is essential to ensure that the interfaces of each module are aligned and use a level to check the overall flatness, avoiding structural deformation due to foundation settlement.

Core Principle of the Process: All stages must adhere to the principle of "fix first, then move" to ensure the structural stability of the house throughout loading, transportation, and unloading, preventing loosening of connectors or wall cracking due to vibration or impact.
