Shanghai Room-Type Container House

Admin September 15, 2026

The Shanghai room-type container house uses a light steel structure as its framework and color-steel sandwich panels as its enclosure materials. Connected through welding and bolts, it features reliable structure, quick installation, and reusability, making it applicable to various scenarios such as temporary housing on construction sites, commercial spaces, and emergency support.

Performance Characteristics

  • Reliable Structure: With a light steel structure as the framework and color-steel sandwich panels as the enclosure materials, the house is assembled through various connection methods including welding, bolts, insertion, rivets, and self-tapping screws, offering better quality than ordinary mobile homes. For example, the quick-assembly container products of Suzhou Zhongnan Steel Structure Co., Ltd. adopt a full steel structure framework. Third-party tests show that they can withstand wind speeds of up to Level 12 and meet the seismic requirements of the GB50011 - 2010 (2016 edition) code, enabling them to cope with extreme weather conditions during the typhoon season in coastal areas.
  • Quick Installation: Produced industrially, these houses can be stored and reused. Installation can be carried out by a few people and completed quickly. For instance, a single module of Zhongnan's quick-assembly container can be assembled from arrival on site to completion in just 4 hours, and the construction period for 10 standard camp housing units does not exceed 3 days, significantly shortening the pre-project preparation time.
  • Reusability: These houses can be reused multiple times, with some products capable of being disassembled and reassembled more than 15 times. The structural stability remains largely unchanged after each disassembly and reassembly, and the cost per use is only one-third of that of a brand-new product.
  • Thermal Insulation: Enclosed by color-steel sandwich panels, these houses have good thermal insulation properties, keeping the interior warm in winter.

Application Scenarios

  • Temporary Housing on Construction Sites: They can serve as dormitories, offices, and isolation rooms on construction sites, meeting the living and office needs during the construction period.
  • Commercial Spaces: They support on-demand assembly and can be customized with special structures such as curved walls and floor-to-ceiling glass windows according to brand requirements. The interior space utilization rate exceeds 90%, perfectly fitting the display and sales needs of pop-up stores.
  • Emergency Support: With portability and rapid deployment capabilities, they can be used in emergency support scenarios, such as temporary shelters during disaster relief operations.

Price Range

Prices vary depending on factors such as the house's specifications, configurations, and materials. For example, some small mobile container houses cost several thousand yuan, while customized, large three-story duplex luxury container houses can cost up to several million yuan.
