Panjin Container House Types

Admin September 15, 2026

The main types of container houses in Panjin include packing-box units, light steel keel types, functional sentry boxes and supporting housing, foldable types, etc. Here are the specific classifications and characteristics:

Classification by Structural Source and Construction Method

  • Custom Fixed Box Modules: Newly built according to ISO modulus, some use thinned plates or material substitutions, corner fittings can be arranged non-standardly, with a higher degree of factory production.
  • Variable Box Modules: Wall panels can be flipped, drawn out, or rotated, such as expandable shops and display boxes, generally used as single-story standalone units.
  • Integrally Welded (Dry Box Type): Formed into an integral structure through welding processes, with high strength and stability.
  • Light Steel Keel Type: Uses cold-formed thin-walled light steel keels as the load-bearing structure, with wall insulation materials filled in. The appearance and house type can be flexibly customized, suitable for self-built houses, homestays, and scenic area supporting housing.
  • Plug-in, Foldable, and Fixed Types: Form container houses with different structural characteristics based on different connection and assembly methods.

Classification by Spatial Combination Form

  • Single Box on Ground: Suitable for small buildings such as kiosks, sentry boxes, and temporary dormitories.
  • Horizontal Box Assembly: Multiple containers are connected horizontally, suitable for larger spaces such as conference rooms, exhibition halls, and homestay lobbies.
  • Vertical Box Stacking: Can be used to build 6-story dormitories, hotels, etc., relying on corner fittings for vertical load transfer.
  • Staggered/Cantilevered/L-shaped/U-shaped Enclosure: Often used in characteristic buildings such as internet-famous homestays and cafes. When cantilevered, diagonal bracing is required, and no holes are allowed in the cantilevered section.

Classification by Functional Use

  • Accommodation Type: Such as construction site dormitories and temporary living quarters.
  • Office Type: Used for construction site offices and temporary offices.
  • Commercial Services: Including shops and exhibition halls.
  • Sanitary Type: Such as eco-friendly public toilets.
  • Special Types: Medical boxes, equipment boxes, laboratory boxes, explosion-proof/refrigerated boxes, and other container houses for special purposes.
