Admin September 17, 2026

Container mobile houses in Shanghai come in a variety of types, and prices vary depending on the type, function, and rental/purchase method. Here is a popular science explanation from three dimensions: purchase price, rental price, and supplier services.

I. Wide purchase price range, clearly function-oriented Container mobile houses in the Shanghai market can be divided into four categories based on function: office, residential, commercial, and special-scenario types, with significant price differences.

  • Office type: Taking assembled container mobile office units and combined container houses as examples, the monthly rental price per 4 square meters is ¥450.0, and the cost is lower when calculated annually. The unit price of packing-box quick-assembly modular integrated houses is ¥570.0, suitable for rapidly constructed temporary office scenarios. The unit price of export container mobile houses for project department offices is ¥5300.0, suitable for long-term project needs.
  • Residential type: The prices of residential container mobile houses are mainly concentrated in the range of ¥4800.0-¥5000.0. With standard dimensions of 6 meters × 3 meters × 2.7 meters, they can meet basic residential needs. The unit price of small container mobile houses is ¥6500.0, with higher space utilization. The price of customized space-capsule container mobile houses can be as high as ¥160000.0, usually equipped with intelligent systems, suitable for high-end homestays or camping scenarios.
  • Commercial type: The unit price of supporting houses for container internet-famous camping bases is ¥239.4, suitable for asset-light operations. The unit price of container homestay beer houses with platforms and prefabricated mobile houses is ¥313.49, enabling rapid implementation of commercial spaces through modular design.

II. Highly flexible rental market with controllable costs The rental market for container mobile houses in Shanghai mainly adopts the model of "daily rent + deposit + rental period". The daily rent starts at 6 yuan, the deposit is approximately 6000 yuan, and the shortest rental period is 120 days. For standard-sized houses (6 meters × 3 meters × 2.7 meters), the daily rent is usually between 10-30 yuan, and long-term rentals can be negotiated for discounts. The advantage of renting is to reduce initial investment, suitable for projects with short construction periods and high mobility, such as temporary dormitories on construction sites and houses for exhibition activities.

III. Comprehensive supplier services to support personalized needs Enterprises such as Shanghai Delaisi Mobile House Co., Ltd. provide one-stop services of design, production, sales, and rental, with products covering scenarios such as construction site dormitories, offices, and shops, and supporting customized modifications in terms of size, material, and function. For example, insulation layers, anti-theft windows, or solar systems can be added according to needs to meet extreme climate or special safety requirements.
