The height is increased to 2.896 meters (external) or 2.655 meters (internal), providing more vertical space, suitable for scenarios with special height requirements, such as exhibition halls or high-rise housing.
II. Customized Container House Sizes
- Non-standard Length and Width
According to customer needs, the length of container houses can be adjusted to 3 meters, 6 meters, 8 meters, 9 meters, or 12 meters, with widths of 2.5 meters, 2.55 meters, 3 meters, or 4 meters. For example, the 3-meter by 6-meter specification is a common choice for construction site housing, accommodating 6 bunk beds with additional activity space. - Height Flexibility
The height of the house can be customized from 2.6 meters to 2.9 meters to meet different functional requirements. For example, the standard height of a foldable container mobile house is 2.8 meters, but it can be adjusted higher or lower by modifying the structure. - Special Function Design
Some suppliers offer services such as adjusting the positions of doors and windows, installing partitions, or customizing interior decorations to meet personalized needs. For example, the dimensions of a mobile house may be defined as 7 meters in length and 3 meters in width, distinguishing it from traditional container specifications.
III. Other Types of Container House Sizes
- Packing-box Container House
The internal dimensions are typically 5.88 meters in length, 2.84 meters in width, and 2.5 meters in height, using galvanized steel structures and color-steel glass wool sandwich panels, weighing about 1350 kilograms, suitable for scenarios requiring rapid assembly. - Foldable Container House
The standard dimensions are based on 20-foot or 40-foot container designs but can reduce transportation volume through a folding structure. For example, a 6-meter-long vehicle can carry 6 sets after folding, and a 17.5-meter flatbed truck can carry 20 sets.
