Dandong Container House Specifications

Admin September 16, 2026

The common container house specifications in Dandong are mainly based on international standard sizes, with 20-foot and 40-foot containers being the mainstream options. The specific dimensions and load-bearing capacities are as follows:

20-foot container:

  • External dimensions: approximately 6.058 meters in length, 2.438 meters in width, and 2.591 meters in height.
  • Internal dimensions: approximately 5.898 meters in length, 2.352 meters in width, and 2.393 meters in height.
  • It has a relatively strong load-bearing capacity and can support a weight of about 25 tons. This type of container house is suitable for small single-unit buildings, such as living spaces for single individuals or small families, small offices, and temporary exhibition halls. Due to its relatively small size, it is flexible for modification and combination, allowing for splicing and layout according to actual needs to create diverse spatial forms.

40-foot container:

  • External dimensions: approximately 12.192 meters in length, 2.438 meters in width, and 2.591 meters in height (for standard containers); there are also high-cube containers with a height of about 2.896 meters.
  • Internal dimensions: approximately 12.032 meters in length, 2.352 meters in width, and 2.393 meters in height (for standard containers); the internal height of high-cube containers is about 2.698 meters.
  • It has a load-bearing capacity of up to about 45 tons. Container houses made from 40-foot containers are more suitable for large-scale construction projects, such as multi-person residences, shops, and art galleries. Their larger space can meet the needs of more functional areas, and when combined, they can form larger-scale buildings, providing people with a more spacious and comfortable living environment.

In practical applications, the choice of container house specifications is comprehensively considered and flexibly adjusted based on specific project requirements, site conditions, and usage functions. Additionally, apart from standard specifications, customized design and production can also be carried out according to the special requirements of customers.
