Heyuan House Container Specifications

Heyuan house container specifications fall mainly into three categories: standard container sizes, customized residential sizes, and other common specifications, as follows:

I. Standard container sizes (basic reference) Standard container sizes form the foundational framework for house container design and are typically based on internationally common specifications.

• 20-foot container: External dimensions are 6.06 m long × 2.44 m wide × 2.59 m high, with an internal usable area of about 28.3 square meters. This size suits small residences or functional modules, such as a private bedroom or office space.
• 40-foot container: External dimensions are 12.2 m long × 2.44 m wide × 2.59 m high, with an internal area of about 67.6 square meters. The space can meet mid-scale residential needs and is often used for living rooms, dining rooms, and other shared areas.
• 40-foot high cube: Building on the standard 40-foot box, height increases to 2.9 m, raising vertical space by about 12%. This size suits residential projects that need greater ceiling height or mezzanine designs and can improve living comfort.

II. Customized residential sizes To meet diverse living needs, house containers are often personalized through joining, expansion, or structural adjustment.

• Single-unit expansion: By joining multiple containers side by side or end to end, flexible floor areas of 30-120 square meters can be achieved. For example, combining a 20-foot and a 40-foot container can create about 95 square meters of residence (including shared areas); two 40-foot containers with a mezzanine design can reach 135 square meters, meeting the needs of larger households or mixed-use functions.
• Height customization: Some manufacturers offer non-standard widths (3-3.5 m) or curved-roof designs. Wider units increase indoor lateral space, while curved roofs can raise ceiling height or improve natural light—suited to scenarios that demand a higher living experience.

III. Other common specifications Market house container sizes retain some flexibility to fit different budgets and site conditions.

• Width range: Typically 3 m to 4 m; 3 m widths are common in economy residences, while 4 m widths allow more spacious interior layouts.
• Height range: Generally 2 m to 2.7 m; 2 m heights suit low-cost projects, while 2.7 m heights can meet basic living comfort.
• Length range: Usually no more than 12 m, to maintain structural stability and transport convenience. Some manufacturers also offer standard length options of 6 m to 9 m, widths of about 3 m to 3.5 m, and heights of about 2 m to 4 m; users can choose combinations as needed.
