Shanwei Container House Specifications

Shanwei container house specifications are based on standard shipping container dimensions and support customized adjustments for residential use, covering multi-dimensional parameters such as size, structure, and function.

1. Standard Container Base Dimensions

• 20-foot container: Exterior dimensions are 6.06 m (L) × 2.44 m (W) × 2.59 m (H), with an interior usable area of about 28.3 m², suitable for small residences or functional modules (such as offices and bathrooms).
• 40-foot container: Exterior dimensions are 12.2 m (L) × 2.44 m (W) × 2.59 m (H), with an interior area of about 67.6 m², meeting medium-scale residential needs.
• 40-foot high cube: Height increases to 2.9 m, boosting vertical space by 12%, suitable for residential designs that need greater ceiling height or mezzanine installation.

2. Residential Custom Expansion Options

• Single-unit joining: Expand floor area through horizontal or longitudinal joining. For example: 20+40-foot combination: total area about 95 m², including living room, bedrooms, and other common areas; dual 40-foot combination: total area about 135 m², with optional mezzanine design for more usable space.
• Non-standard size customization: Some manufacturers offer width expansion to 3-3.5 m, or curved roof designs to optimize interior space utilization.

3. Modular Technical Parameters

• Load-bearing capacity: Roof slab load capacity 1-1.5 tons/m², floor slab load capacity 3-5 tons/m², supporting heavy furniture or equipment installation.
• Thermal insulation: Uses 50-150 mm thick polyurethane or PIR sandwich panels, with a thermal conductivity (K-value) of 0.18-0.28 W/m²K, meeting energy-efficient housing requirements.
• Door and window openings: Up to 60% of the side wall area may be opened, requiring structural reinforcement for safety; suitable for large floor-to-ceiling windows or balcony designs.

4. Special Specs and Functional Units

• Foldable container houses: When expanded, dimensions can reach twice those of a standard unit, facilitating transport and rapid deployment for temporary housing or emergency scenarios.
• Pitched-roof units: Eave height 3.2 m, slope 15-30 degrees, improving drainage and architectural appearance.
• Emergency medical units: Equipped with negative-pressure systems and an extra 0.5 m equipment zone, used for medical isolation or special-function modules.

5. Key Selection Notes

• Transport limits: Units taller than 4 m require special transport permits, increasing logistics cost and time.
• Foundation requirements: Foundations must bear at least 10 kN/m² per linear meter to ensure structural stability.
• Seismic design: Prefer products that pass the EN13561 wind pressure test (≥1.5 kN/m²) to improve wind and seismic resistance.
