Second-hand Temporary Housing Containers

Admin September 17, 2026

Second-hand temporary housing containers come in a variety of types, with prices varying based on specifications, services, and uses.

I. Classification by Service Type

  1. One-stop Services for Sales, Leasing, Renovation, and Transportation: These second-hand container mobile homes are priced higher, with common quotes such as 14,000 yuan and 10,000 yuan. Their advantage lies in providing a complete solution, suitable for scenarios requiring rapid deployment and lacking professional teams, such as temporary offices and construction site dormitories.
  2. Manufacturer-Customized Renovated Finished Houses: Some second-hand containers are deeply renovated by manufacturers into finished houses, priced lower, with a monthly sales quote of 40 yuan for one finished house. These products are usually designed for specific needs, but it is important to verify the renovation quality and compliance.

II. Classification by Material and Structure

  1. Color Steel Plate Houses: Recycled second-hand color steel plate houses are priced around 158 yuan, characterized by light weight and easy assembly, but with relatively weak thermal insulation and durability, suitable for short-term use or in regions with mild climates.
  2. Steel Structure Mobile Homes: Including new and used products such as K-type panel houses, priced at 160 yuan. The steel structure frame provides higher strength, suitable for long-term use or scenarios with high structural stability requirements, such as warehousing and temporary factories.
  3. Modular Container Shops/Dormitories: In Dongguan, modular second-hand containers are priced at 8,000 yuan, integrating office and accommodation functions, with a modular design for easy expansion, suitable for commercial or construction site comprehensive needs.

III. Classification by Function and Configuration

  1. Construction Site Quick-Assembly Container Integrated Houses: Second-hand packing-box mobile residential container activity panels are priced at 6,900 yuan, using standardized components that can be quickly assembled into independent units, suitable for temporary residence or emergency shelter on construction sites.
  2. High Cost-Performance Customized Containers: Some second-hand containers are equipped with 50mm color steel sandwich roof panels, stainless steel double-sided single doors, aluminum alloy sliding windows, and have a height of 2.8 meters, providing spacious and thermally insulated spaces. These products enhance cost-performance through optimized materials and design, suitable for scenarios with high requirements for living comfort.

IV. Advantages of Modular Construction
Container modular construction enables rapid assembly, disassembly, and layout adjustments through standardized components, with customizable appearances. Construction costs are 30%-50% lower than traditional buildings, and construction periods are shortened by more than 50%. Additionally, they often use recycled materials, aligning with sustainable development concepts, suitable for long-term recycling or projects with high environmental requirements.

Purchase Recommendations: It is necessary to comprehensively evaluate based on usage scenarios (such as project duration, climate, functional requirements), budget, and compliance requirements, prioritizing suppliers with quality certifications and after-sales guarantees.
