Temporary Gate House Container
Admin September 15, 2026
Key points for the purchase, installation, and use of temporary gate house containers are as follows:

Purchase Phase
- Structural Type: Common types include welded integral containers and bolt-connected assembled containers. Welded containers have strong integrity and good resistance to deformation, suitable for frequent lifting and moving; assembled containers are connected by standard panels with bolts. When purchasing, check the wall thickness of the steel columns and bottom beams, with common specifications ranging from 1.5 mm to 3 mm. The thicker the wall, the greater the load-bearing redundancy, but the self-weight also increases accordingly.
- Coating Process: The quality of the coating affects the rusting speed of the container body. Hot-dip galvanizing has a longer anti-corrosion lifespan than cold-dip galvanizing. In areas with large temperature differences between day and night and significant humidity changes, hot-dip galvanized containers should be preferred.
Installation Phase
- Ground Preparation: Clear the floating soil and debris on the ground and compact the original soil layer. For long-term fixed use, pour a concrete strip foundation with a width of 30 cm to 50 cm and a depth determined by the local frost depth. The horizontal height difference of the foundation top surface should not exceed 5 mm. For short-term use, pre-fabricated concrete pads or steel plates can be used, with a pad spacing not exceeding 2 m, and a crushed stone leveling layer should be laid under each pad.
- Lifting and Positioning: Use steel wire ropes with sufficient bearing capacity to ensure that all lifting points are subjected to synchronous force, avoiding unilateral force that may cause container distortion. After the container is positioned, check the fit between the bottom beam and the foundation pad. If there is local suspension, pad it with thin steel sheets. Use a level to measure along the longitudinal and transverse directions of the bottom beam, with a levelness error controlled within 2 mm per meter.
Use Phase
- Thermal Insulation and Sound Insulation: Wall panels are mostly made of rock wool, glass wool, or polyurethane sandwich panels. The ground usually uses cement fiber boards or steel-wood composite floors. Wall and ceiling surfaces can use metal panels or calcium silicate boards. These material combinations can meet basic thermal insulation and sound insulation requirements.
- Fire Safety: Some container houses use fire-resistant polyurethane sandwich panels, which have fire-resistant properties and can be used independently or stacked in multiple layers, suitable for various scenarios, ensuring fire safety during use.
