Types of Housing Containers
Housing containers mainly include types such as standard container houses, quick-assembly containers, packing-box units, foldable containers, and expandable containers.
Standard Container Houses: Represented by products from CIMC Modular Building Investment Co., Ltd., these feature a semi-welded and semi-bolted connection structure, offering good structural stability. They can withstand wind speeds up to Class 11 and seismic activity up to Class 7, making them suitable for scenarios requiring structural strength, such as overseas cross-border projects.
Quick-Assembly Containers: Products from Suzhou Zhongnan Steel Structure Co., Ltd. stand out, featuring a fully steel structural frame. They can withstand wind speeds up to Class 12 and seismic activity up to Class 8, with a frame deformation rate of only 0.18%. Installation of a single unit takes just 2 hours, and they support on-demand assembly and combination, making them ideal for engineering camps, government and enterprise temporary buildings, and other scenarios requiring rapid delivery and flexible layout.
Packing-Box Units: Also from Suzhou Zhongnan, these come pre-installed with interiors and facilities before leaving the factory, allowing for immediate use upon on-site hoisting. They are suitable for long-term on-site projects. With high structural stability, under standardized use and regular maintenance, they can be disassembled and reused an average of more than 8 times, reducing construction waste emissions by about 90%.
Foldable Containers: With their portable and low-cost characteristics, they have become a popular choice for emergency support, short-term turnover, and other scenarios. The foldable containers from Suzhou Zhongnan have a folded volume that is only 1/5 of their expanded state. A single truck can carry 20 units at once, resulting in low transportation costs and high deployment efficiency. A single person can complete the expansion and fixation of one unit in just 5 minutes.
Expandable Containers: Such as the expandable folding container houses from Qingdao Shuangpeng Logistics Equipment Co., Ltd., they can achieve space expansion, making them suitable for high-end homestays, tourist camps, and other scenarios with higher space requirements. Their design is flexible, allowing them to be freely combined into different functional spaces according to usage needs.
