Container Mobile House Base

Admin September 15, 2026

The base of a container mobile house usually adopts a steel frame structure, and some products support customization. Prices vary depending on the material, specifications, and brand. The following provides an introduction from the aspects of material, structure, function, price, and customization:

Material and Structure
The core material of the base of a container mobile house is steel, with common types including channel steel and square tubes. For example, channel steel (such as the 5X10 specification) is often used for welding the main crossbeams around the top and bottom of the container, serving a supporting role similar to that of a house's ring beam. Square tubes are used to construct the frame structure, enhancing overall stability. Some bases use galvanized and thickened steel to improve corrosion resistance and service life. Additionally, welding technology is a crucial part of base manufacturing, requiring precise connections of channel steel, square tubes, and other components to form a stable supporting system.

Function and Design
The base design needs to take into account load-bearing capacity, moisture resistance, and adaptability. For example, adjustable house bases can be integrated into different ground environments to adapt to complex terrains. Some bases can be placed directly on the ground without additional foundation construction, simplifying the installation process. Moreover, the base needs to be tightly connected to the main body of the container house to ensure the overall structure's earthquake resistance (e.g., earthquake intensity level 8) and impact resistance (e.g., impact strength level 11), while also meeting low-carbon environmental protection and recyclability requirements.

Price and Brand
The price of the base is significantly affected by the material, specifications, and brand. For example, the price range of a welded steel platform base is 4.05-5.40 yuan per kilogram (minimum order quantity of 10 kilograms), while the price of a prefabricated steel frame house base can reach 35,064.12-74,174.10 yuan per set (minimum order quantity of 1 set). In terms of brands, different suppliers offer differentiated services: some manufacturers support custom sizes, suitable for large-scale farms or villa prefabrication; some manufacturers provide quickly assembled steel structure container houses to meet the temporary office needs on construction sites.

Customization and Expandability
The base has a high degree of customization and can be adjusted in terms of size, material, and function according to needs. For example, the base of an expandable structure container mobile house supports left-right extension and up-down staggered assembly, forming a large-capacity user-friendly house. Some bases integrate thermal insulation materials to improve living comfort. Additionally, the base design needs to consider transportation convenience, such as supporting full-container towing or foldable modular design to reduce logistics costs.
