Admin September 17, 2026

The specifications of prefabricated container houses vary significantly depending on the type. Here are the common types and their specifications:

I. Specifications of Box-type Houses Box-type houses are designed with a modular approach, using K (1K = 1.82m) and P (1P = 0.895m) as the basic units for length, width, and height.

  1. Width Specifications: Standard widths include 2K (3.79m), 3K (5.61m), 4K (7.43m), and 5K (9.25m), which can be combined and extended as needed.
  2. Height Specifications:
    • Sloped Roof: Single-story is 3P (2.69m), and double-story is 6P (5.37m), suitable for scenarios requiring higher spatial height.
    • Flat Roof: Single-story is 3P + 290mm (2.98m), and double-story is 6.5P + 290mm (6.12m), with a flat top for easy equipment installation or additional structural construction.
  3. Length Specifications: Extended in units of K, such as 6K (10.92m), 8K (14.56m), etc. The number of stories is generally 1-2, and higher stories can be customized for special needs.

II. Specifications of Container Module Houses Container module houses are based on international standard container sizes, covering specifications from 20 feet to 60 feet:

  1. 20-foot Container: External dimensions are approximately 6.06m (length) × 2.44m (width) × 2.59m (height), with an internal usable space of about 5.9m × 2.35m × 2.39m, suitable for small office or residential scenarios.
  2. 40-foot Container: External dimensions are approximately 12.19m (length) × 2.44m (width) × 2.59m (height), with an internal usable space of about 12.03m × 2.35m × 2.39m, commonly used for large event exhibition halls or temporary dormitories.
  3. 60-foot Container: Extended to 18.29m in length, with the same width and height as standard containers, suitable for scenarios requiring more space, such as medical stations or command centers.

III. Specifications of Tianfeng Movable Box Houses Tianfeng movable box houses offer two standard specifications:

  1. 6020mm × 3000mm × 2820mm: Over 6 meters in length, 3 meters in width, and 2.82 meters in height, with spacious internal space suitable for multi-person office or residential use.
  2. 6055mm × 2435mm × 2820mm: Similar in length to the first type, but with a reduced width of 2.435 meters and the same height, suitable for scenarios with lower width requirements, such as temporary warehouses or small shops.

IV. Specifications of Apple Pod Containers Apple pod containers are differentiated by domestic and foreign trade requirements:

  1. Domestic Trade Standard Size: 3 meters × 6 meters, with an area of about 18 square meters, suitable for domestic temporary construction projects.
  2. Foreign Trade Sizes: Range from 5.8 meters × 2.2 meters to 11.5 meters × 2.2 meters, corresponding to 20-foot and 40-foot models, with areas of about 12.98 square meters and 25.96 square meters, respectively.
  3. Standard Width: The width of a single pod is fixed at 3 meters, with lengths available in 3 meters, 6 meters, 9 meters, or 12 meters. Large spaces can be quickly constructed through modular combinations.
