Kunshan Container House Specifications

Admin September 15, 2026

The common specifications of container houses in Kunshan mainly consist of standard sizes and customized sizes. Standard containers are mostly 3m×6m in size with a height of 2.6-2.9m, while customized models can have their length, width, and height adjusted flexibly, with specific specifications depending on the intended use and the manufacturer's capabilities.

I. Standard Container House Specifications
The internationally standardized dry cargo container specifications are the mainstream choice in the Kunshan market. The external dimensions of a 20-foot standard container are approximately 6.058m (length) × 2.438m (width) × 2.591m (height), with internal clear dimensions of about 5.898m × 2.352m × 2.390m, commonly used for single-person offices, dormitories, or small shops. The external dimensions of a 40-foot standard container are approximately 12.192m × 2.438m × 2.591m, with internal clear dimensions of about 11.998m × 2.352m × 2.390m, suitable for multi-person dormitories or multi-functional spaces. Additionally, the 40-foot high cube container (with a height of 2.896m) can meet the requirements for scenarios with high ceiling heights, such as exhibition halls or temporary housing.

II. Customized Container House Specifications
Based on actual needs, the Kunshan market offers non-standard customization services. Common customized sizes include 3m×3m, 3m×8m, 3m×12m, etc., with lengths extendable up to 14m, widths of 2.5m, 3m, or 4m, and heights adjustable to 2.6m, 2.8m, or 3.2m, etc. For example, the Anhu brand offers a 3m×4m×2.8m container house, which can achieve space expansion through container combinations, adapting to complex scenarios such as construction site temporary buildings or commercial districts. When customizing, it is crucial to focus on structural safety, such as ensuring that the column wall thickness is not less than 2.3mm, using full-weld frame construction, and confirming the fire and wind resistance ratings (usually requiring 8-10 levels of wind resistance and Class A fire resistance).

III. Special-Purpose Container Specifications
For specific needs, the Kunshan market also provides modified specifications such as open-top containers and flat-rack containers. For example, the internal volume of a 20-foot open-top container is 5.89m × 2.32m × 2.31m, suitable for loading oversized cargo; the internal volume of a 40-foot flat-rack container is 12.05m × 2.12m × 1.96m, facilitating the transportation of heavy equipment. These specifications are mostly used in logistics or industrial scenarios and should be selected based on the characteristics of the cargo.
