Admin September 15, 2026
A mobile container house with wheels is a prefabricated structure that is movable and modular in design. It is typically made from modified shipping containers or imitation container structures, equipped with wheels or a trailer chassis for easy transportation and rapid deployment, suitable for a variety of scenarios including office, residential, and commercial use.

Types and Uses
- Mobile Office Trailers: These include Apple Cottage office trailers, micro-homes, wheeled prefabricated living container houses, etc. Prices range from ¥16,778.50 to ¥160,402.46. They are mostly used for outdoor construction, on-site offices, or temporary office spaces, with some models equipped with air conditioning, restrooms, and other facilities.
- Movable Residential Houses: These encompass worker dormitories, temporary living quarters, luxury prefabricated villas, etc. Prices range from ¥268.28 per square meter to ¥40,026.79 per set. They are suitable for construction sites, vacation projects, or emergency housing, with some products supporting solar power or expandable designs.
- Mini Mobile Houses: Such as camping trailers with bathrooms, priced approximately between ¥30,080.25 and ¥33,288.81. They are designed for outdoor travel or short-term stays, emphasizing portability and functionality.
- Modular Container Houses: These include houses modified from standard 20/40-foot shipping containers, with prices ranging from ¥3,008.03 to ¥66,749.33. They support customization of bedrooms, kitchens, restrooms, etc., and can be used for commercial shops, offices, or long-term residences.
Structural Features
- Mobility: Equipped with wheels or a trailer chassis at the bottom, they can be transported by towing vehicles. Some products support folding or disassembly to reduce transportation volume.
- Modular Design: Utilizing standardized container units, they can be quickly assembled or expanded to meet different spatial requirements, such as achieving multi-bedroom layouts by connecting multiple containers.
- Materials and Craftsmanship: The main body is mostly steel structure, with sandwich panels as wall and roof materials, providing waterproof, windproof, and heat-insulating properties. Some products use aluminum or eco-friendly materials to reduce weight and cost.
Price Influencing Factors
- Size and Configuration: Larger areas and more complex functions (such as air conditioning, restrooms, kitchens) result in higher prices. For example, a basic 20-foot model costs around ¥3,008.03, while a 40-foot luxury villa model can reach ¥66,749.33.
- Customization Level: Non-standard designs, special materials, or brand premiums can drive up costs. For instance, prefabricated container houses made in China have a wide price range, with some high-end models supporting personalized interiors and exteriors.
- Order Quantity: Bulk purchases can reduce unit prices, with some suppliers offering discounts for orders of more than 10 sets.
