Admin September 15, 2026

The common dimensions of Laiwu container houses include 3 meters in length × 3 meters in width × 2.8 meters in height, 6 meters in length × 3 meters in width × 2.8 meters in height, 7 meters in length × 3 meters in width × 2.8 meters in height, as well as custom dimensions based on specific needs.

Standard Dimension Types

  1. 3m × 3m × 2.8m: With an area of 9 square meters, this is a small container house. Due to material utilization issues, it is typically only produced when customers have special requirements, such as scenarios with extremely limited space needs or requiring flexible layouts.
  2. 6m × 3m × 2.8m: Covering an area of 18 square meters, this is the most common standard size on the market. Its interior space can accommodate 6 bunk beds, meeting the living needs of 8 people, with ample remaining activity space. This type of container house is widely used in construction sites, road construction, and other scenarios. Due to its convenient transportation and lifting, it is known as the 'universal basic model'.
  3. 7m × 3m × 2.8m: With an area of 21 square meters, this size is often used for two-story container mobile homes. These houses are usually designed with corridors and balconies and can be expanded into larger spaces such as 40-foot or 60-foot units through vertical or horizontal connections, suitable for scenarios with higher living comfort requirements.

Custom Dimension Types
According to customer needs, the dimensions of container houses can be flexibly adjusted. For example:

  1. Width Options: 2.5 meters, 2.55 meters, 3 meters, 4 meters, etc., to accommodate different functional requirements.
  2. Height Options: 2.6 meters, 2.7 meters, 2.8 meters, 2.9 meters, etc., to meet special height requirements.
  3. Special Designs: The positions of doors and windows, partition layouts, as well as exterior and interior decorations can all be customized as needed. For instance, thickened thermal-break aluminum doors and windows, double-glazed windows, reserved maintenance ports and ventilation holes can be added to enhance sound insulation, thermal insulation, and ventilation performance.
