Huizhou Housing Container Sizes

Admin September 15, 2026

The common sizes of housing containers in Huizhou mainly include the following types:

I. Regular Standard Sizes

  1. 3m × 3m × 2.8m
    With an area of 9 square meters, it is a small-sized container house suitable for scenarios with relatively small space requirements. Due to its small size, which may lead to material waste, it is usually customized according to the special needs of customers.

  2. 6m × 3m × 2.8m
    Covering an area of 18 square meters, it is the most common standard size on the market, widely used in construction sites, road construction, and other scenarios. Its internal space can meet basic office or living needs, and transportation and hoisting are relatively convenient.

  3. 7m × 3m × 2.8m
    With an area of 21 square meters, it is mostly used for two-story container mobile homes, equipped with corridors and balconies, suitable for scenarios requiring hierarchical use, such as temporary dormitories or office complexes.

II. Customized Types
The size can be flexibly adjusted according to customer needs, with areas ranging from small to large. For example:

  • 40-foot container splicing: After splicing three standard containers, the size can reach 11.8m × 6.75m × 2.8m, with a usable area of 80 square meters. The interior can be divided into functional spaces such as living rooms, bedrooms, and office areas.
  • Packing-box container houses: The internal dimensions are usually 5.88m (length) × 2.84m (width) × 2.5m (height), adopting a modular design for easy on-site assembly.

III. Special-purpose Sizes

  1. Huizhou Port standard containers: The internal dimensions are 6m (length) × 2.4m (width) × 2.3m (height), with a volume of 33.12 cubic meters. When the actual loading height is limited to 2m, the volume is 28.8 cubic meters. These containers are mostly used for cargo transportation and can also be transformed into residential containers.
  2. Second-hand container transformations: Including 20GP (internal dimensions 5.867m × 2.33m × 2.35m), 40GP (11.998m × 2.33m × 2.35m), 40HQ (11.998m × 2.33m × 2.655m), and other specifications, which can be transformed into houses according to needs.

IV. Size Selection Recommendations

  • For office and living on construction sites: Prioritize the 3m × 6m specification, with an internal clear height of about 2.6m, high space utilization, and convenient transportation.
  • For long-term use or hierarchical needs: Consider the 7m × 3m or customized spliced containers, enhancing comfort by adding functions such as balconies and corridors.
  • For special scenarios: Such as ports and logistics parks, it is necessary to refer to the sizes of standard freight containers for transformation.
