Jinan Container House Dimensions Diagram
The common dimensions of container houses in Jinan are 6 meters in length, 3 meters in width, and either 2.8 meters or 2.9 meters in height, with specific dimensions varying according to product type and customization requirements. The following provides an explanation from three aspects: standard dimensions, customized dimensions, and dimensions of special types:

Standard Container House Dimensions
The standard container houses commonly found in the Jinan market are typically modified from 20-foot containers. The internal dimensions are usually 5898 mm (approximately 5.9 meters) in length, 2352 mm (approximately 2.35 meters) in width, and 2390 mm (approximately 2.39 meters) in height, with external dimensions varying slightly due to structural differences. For example, the mobile houses from Shandong Jinan Zhongcan Containers have internal and external dimensions of 6 meters (length) × 3 meters (width) × 2.8 meters (height), with a volume of 30 cubic meters, suitable for temporary office and accommodation scenarios. Additionally, some products adopt domestic general standards, adjusting the height to 2.9 meters to enhance internal space comfort.
Customized Container House Dimensions
Based on customer needs, many enterprises in Jinan offer dimension customization services. For instance, the container houses from Shandong Yihua Integrated Housing have specifications of 5800 mm (length) × 2250 mm (width) × 2480 mm (height), and support dimension adjustments according to project requirements; Shandong Zhongzhu Integrated Housing Co., Ltd. can produce non-standard-sized residential containers to meet the special needs of the construction and tourism industries. The flexibility of customized dimensions enables container houses to adapt to diverse scenarios such as construction site offices, commercial displays, and temporary medical facilities.
Dimensions of Special Types of Container Houses
- Duplex Container Houses: Formed by splicing multiple standard containers to create a double-story structure, for example, a 40-foot container house spliced from three containers has dimensions of 11.8 meters (length) × 6.75 meters (width) × 2.8 meters (height), with a usable area of 80 square meters, suitable for scenarios requiring large spaces.
- Packing-Box Units: Composed of a roof, floor, corner posts, and interchangeable wall panels, the standard dimensions of a single box are similar to those of conventional container houses, but they support 360-degree free combination or three-layer stacking. For example, Xinwanda packing boxes can be expanded to larger spaces through modular splicing.
- Open-Top or Flat-Bottom Containers: Some container houses for special purposes adopt non-standard height designs, such as the internal volume of a 20-foot open-top container being 5.89 meters (length) × 2.32 meters (width) × 2.31 meters (height), suitable for scenarios requiring vertical cargo transportation.
