Standard Dimension Types

This is the most common specification on the market, widely used in construction sites, road construction, and other scenarios. It can accommodate a double bed, a simple desk, and a standing wardrobe, with high space utilization.
  3. Expanded Container House: 7m in length, 3m in width, and 2.8m in height, covering an area of 21 square meters. These houses are mostly used for two-story container mobile homes, equipped with corridors and balconies, suitable for temporary office or living spaces.
