Shanwei Container House Specification Diagram
Common specifications of container houses in Shanwei include a single 40-foot container house with dimensions of 11.8m×2.25m×2.8m, and when three are joined together, the dimensions are 11.8m×6.75m×2.8m, with a usable area of up to 80 square meters. Here is a detailed analysis of the specific specifications and features:
I. Basic Specifications and Combination Forms The standard dimensions of a single 40-foot container house are 11.8 meters in length, 2.25 meters in width, and 2.8 meters in height. It is made of a galvanized frame and color-steel sandwich panels, weighing approximately 2600kg. By horizontally joining three units, a duplex structure with dimensions of 11.8 meters in length, 6.75 meters in width, and 2.8 meters in height can be formed, expanding the internal usable area to 80 square meters. Such combinations are commonly used in integrated office and living scenarios. For example, the living room can be furnished with sofas, coffee tables, and TVs, while the bedroom can accommodate a 1.8-meter double bed, wardrobes, and bookshelves.
II. International Standard Container Parameters According to international standards, a 20-foot container has a load capacity of 25 tons, and a 40-foot container has a load capacity of 45 tons. The indoor net space is relatively cramped, with a low height and a narrow and long horizontal space. During renovation, adaptive combination designs of the container bodies, such as joining and stacking, are usually employed to create diverse architectural forms. For example, the first two-story container house in the United States and the world's first large-scale temporary shopping center, 'Container Park BOXPARK,' both utilize such technologies.
III. Customized Specifications and Functional Expansions Some manufacturers offer non-standard customization services, such as white quick-assembly containers with dimensions ranging from 3m×3m×2.8m to 3m×6m×2.8m, and derivative models like gable-roofed glass double doors and glass-curtain-walled sunrooms. In terms of materials, the anti-rust steel structure main frame is paired with insulated glass (4mm thick), a color-steel roof, and structural adhesive sealing, achieving an anti-wind rating of C5, a waterproof rating of Level 3, a sound insulation rating of Level 5, and a thermal insulation coefficient of 3W/(㎡·K), meeting usage requirements under different climatic conditions.
IV. Structural Performance and Safety Standards Container houses must comply with national building codes, such as having an earthquake resistance rating of Level 8 and an anti-wind rating of Level 9, withstanding temperatures up to 50℃ and down to -50℃. The internal wiring is pre-installed in the factory, equipped with circuit breakers to ensure electrical safety. A single set can be assembled by 4 people in 8 hours, and each 40-foot high cube container can transport 3 mobile homes. In terms of service life, high-quality products come with a warranty period of 2 years, and some cases can last for more than 10 years with proper maintenance.
