Small Container House Size Standard

The size standards for small container houses are mainly divided into two categories: standard sizes and non-standard customized sizes, as detailed below:

I. Standard Sizes (Industry Benchmark Models) Standard container houses are based on maritime shipping containers, with common specifications including:

II. Non-Standard Customized Sizes According to actual needs, the sizes of container houses can be flexibly adjusted, with common non-standard specifications including:

1. Basic Modular Sizes:
   • 3m×3m×2.8m (area of 9 square meters): Suitable for small temporary housing, but due to low material utilization, production usually requires explicit customer demand.
   • 3m×6m×2.8m (area of 18 square meters): A mainstream specification for construction sites and road construction scenarios, with space for 6 bunk beds inside, accommodating 8 people with room for activities.
   • 3m×7m×2.8m (area of 21 square meters): Often used for two-story container mobile homes, equipped with corridors and balconies.
2. Extended Sizes:
   • Width options include 2.5m, 2.55m, 3m, 4m, etc.; height options include 2.6m, 2.7m, 2.8m, 2.9m, etc.
   • Length can be extended in multiples of 3m, such as 3m×8m, 3m×9m, 3m×12m, etc., with specifics to be determined through consultation with the manufacturer.
3. Special Purpose Sizes:
   • Frame Containers: Without a roof or side walls, with a thickened steel floor, capable of carrying up to 60 tons. Mainstream specifications are 20-foot (carrying capacity of 24.45 tons) and 40-foot (carrying capacity of 39.475 tons), suitable for transporting extra-long, extra-wide, and extra-heavy cargo.
