Heyuan Container House Specifications

Container houses in Heyuan come in a variety of specifications, with common sizes ranging from small to large, including international standard specifications and custom options.

I. Common Domestic Specifications

The common specifications of container houses in Heyuan are primarily designed for the domestic market, with dimensions that balance practicality and transportation convenience:

1. 3m × 3m × 2.8m: With an area of 9 square meters, this is a small container house suitable for temporary offices, small-scale storage, or single-person living scenarios.
2. 6m × 3m × 2.8m: Covering an area of 18 square meters, this is the most common standard specification on the market, widely used in construction sites, road construction, and other scenarios, accommodating 4-6 people for office or living purposes.
3. 7m × 3m × 2.8m: With an area of 21 square meters, this is typically used as a two-story container mobile home, equipped with corridors and balconies, suitable for multi-person living or combined office scenarios.

II. International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Specifications

International standard container houses have more uniform dimensions, but it should be noted that they were originally designed for maritime transportation and logistics, so adjustments to the internal structure are required when used directly as houses:

1. 20-foot container: Measuring 6.06 meters in length, 2.44 meters in width, and 2.59 meters (standard high cube) or 2.89 meters (high cube) in height, with an internal volume of approximately 33 cubic meters. This specification is commonly used for single-room modular houses, requiring internal renovation to optimize space utilization.
2. 40-foot container: Measuring 12.19 meters in length, 2.44 meters in width, and available in heights of 2.59 meters and 2.89 meters, with an internal volume of approximately 67 cubic meters. Suitable as a core module for large mobile homes or combined buildings, but transportation restrictions (such as road turning radius) need to be considered.

III. Custom Specifications and Adjustment Methods

If existing specifications do not meet requirements, customization can be achieved through the following methods:

1. Width Expansion: Increase the standard width by 0.5-1 meter, but ensure structural stability (such as reinforcing crossbeams).
2. Height Extension: Increase the standard height of 2.8 meters to 3.5-4 meters, adding floor height or building a loft, but comply with local building codes (such as fire escape requirements).
3. Length Combination: Form a longer space by combining multiple standard containers (such as 6m + 6m), but address waterproofing and insulation issues at the connection points.

Notes: Customization of non-standard sizes requires comprehensive consideration of transportation restrictions (such as special permits for oversized and over-height loads), structural stability (such as adding supports for excessively large length-to-width ratios), increased costs (higher costs for non-standard materials and processes), and local building code approvals (such as whether temporary buildings exceeding limits are allowed). It is recommended to communicate detailed requirements with the manufacturer before determining the final plan.
