Temporary Container House Production
Admin September 14, 2026
The production of temporary container houses requires comprehensive consideration of multiple aspects, including structural design, material selection, production processes, compliance certifications, and scenario adaptability.

Structural Design
- Structural Types: Common types include welded integral containers and bolt-connected modular containers. Welded integral containers are fully welded in the factory, with direct load paths and strong resistance to deformation, making them suitable for frequent lifting and relocation. Bolt-connected modular containers use standard panels connected by bolts, with multiple connection nodes in the load paths. The tightness of these nodes affects overall stability. When purchasing, it is essential to check the wall thickness of the steel columns and bottom beams, with common specifications ranging from 1.5 mm to 3 mm. Thicker walls provide greater load-bearing capacity but also increase the self-weight.
- Load-Bearing Optimization: Traditional container bottom frames have large spacing between longitudinal beams, which can result in insufficient floor stiffness when used as living spaces. Adding C-shaped steel purlins between the bottom beams can evenly distribute loads to the main beams, enhancing structural stability.
Material Selection
- Steel: Reliable-quality steel should be selected to ensure structural strength and durability. After shot blasting for rust removal, the container surface should be coated with protective paint, such as zinc-rich primer and polyurethane topcoat, to maintain effective service life in harsh environments.
- Wall and Roof Panels: Fire-resistant polyurethane sandwich panels and other materials can be used, offering thermal insulation and fire resistance.
Production Processes
- Welding Process: Fully automated welding processes ensure weld strength and improve the structure's wind and earthquake resistance.
- Prefabricated Assembly: Most processes are completed in the factory, reducing on-site wet work, ensuring component precision, shortening construction periods, and improving installation efficiency.
Compliance Certifications
- Fire resistance tests and wind and earthquake resistance certifications are required. Export products must have international certifications such as CE and ISO to meet relevant domestic and international standards and regulations.
Scenario Adaptability
- Customized design and functional modifications should be made according to different scenario requirements, such as engineering camps, mobile commerce, cultural and tourism accommodations, emergency support, and other diverse scenarios, enhancing the product's adaptability to multiple scenarios.
