Lichuan Container House

Admin September 15, 2026

Container houses are applied in Lichuan, mainly for the construction of trade union waystations, and some enterprises also offer rental and sales services for container houses. Here are the details:

Application in Trade Union Waystations

In the warm-hearted care special campaign named 'Craftsmanship Builds Dreams on the New Channel, Trade Union Guards the Pioneers' jointly launched by the Yichang Federation of Trade Unions in Hubei and the Three Gorges Water Transport New Channel (Hubei) Co., Ltd., a batch of fully functional container trade union waystations were built and put into use in the pilot excavation area of the Three Gorges Water Transport New Channel. These waystations, transformed from containers, are compact in space but well-equipped with facilities such as air conditioners, freezers, water dispensers, emergency medical kits, charging equipment, and washbasins, fully meeting the daily needs of workers and providing a 'warm harbor' for thousands of builders to rest nearby. The Yichang Federation of Trade Unions specifically invested 60,000 yuan to customize container-type panel houses, fulfilling the commitment of 'what workers expect, what trade unions do'. Moreover, while the container trade union waystations were put into use, multiple warm-hearted services were launched simultaneously. For example, the 'Haircut Love' service line of the Yichang Public Transport Group entered the project site to provide free haircuts for builders; the mobile medical service vehicle of the Yiling District Health and Medical Department started on-site medical consultations, bringing health services to the front line; the trade union also presented 'cooling packs' to workers, delivering heatstroke prevention supplies and care.

Enterprise Rental and Sales Services

Some enterprises offer services such as container rental, container house rental, container panel house rental, and container sales. Their products include on-site housing such as residential container houses, foldable containers, flat-panel containers, packing-box units, color-steel houses, container panel houses, mobile prefabricated houses, K-type panel houses, foldable color-steel panel houses, corrugated containers, welded containers, and container dormitory prefabricated houses, with a large amount of in-stock inventory. The product specifications are generally a width of 3m, a length (the specific standard length is not clearly mentioned, but there are relevant scenario descriptions), a height of 2.8m, a building area of 18m², and a self-weight of 1.5t. Foldable houses have relatively complete manufacturing processes, neat appearances, reasonable structural designs, fewer welded parts, convenient on-site installation and disassembly, low transportation costs, low storage costs, optimized usage costs, and features such as fire resistance, earthquake resistance, wind resistance, and leak resistance. They support repeated folding and recycling and can be used in emergency living scenarios, with application areas covering temporary living, post-earthquake resettlement, highways, railways, construction, wind power, thermal power, photovoltaic, petroleum, and rural dilapidated houses.
