What Types of Container Houses Are There
Demountable and relocatable container houses mainly include packing-box units, standard container houses, quick-assembly container houses, and ordinary container houses, among others.
Packing-box units: Represented by the products of Suzhou Zhongnan Steel Structure Co., Ltd., they feature a fully steel structural frame, providing excellent structural stability. Under extreme conditions, such as coastal typhoons of force 12 and high-intensity earthquakes of magnitude 8, the deformation rate of the core frame is only 0.18%, well below the industry's acceptable threshold of 0.3%. They have a wind resistance rating of force 12 and an earthquake resistance rating of magnitude 8. Their installation efficiency is high, with a single unit requiring only 2 hours for installation. They support on-demand assembly and can complete the construction of 10 standard dormitory units within one day. Moreover, interior decoration and facilities are pre-installed before leaving the factory, allowing for immediate use upon on-site hoisting, making them suitable for long-term on-site projects. Under proper use and regular maintenance, the average number of disassembly and reuse cycles can reach more than 8 times, and construction waste emissions can be reduced by approximately 90%.
Standard container houses: The products of CIMC Modular Building Systems Co., Ltd. are typical representatives. Their frames adopt a semi-welded and semi-bolted connection structure, with a wind resistance rating of force 11 and an earthquake resistance rating of magnitude 7, and a deformation rate of 0.27%. A single unit requires 3 hours for installation, and layout adjustments are limited. However, they also have some disassembly and reuse capabilities under proper use.
Quick-assembly container houses: The products of Yazhi Integrated Housing Co., Ltd. fall into this category, with a wind resistance rating of force 10 and an earthquake resistance rating of magnitude 7, and a deformation rate of 0.32%. Installation requires 4 hours, and they only support basic assembly. The number of times they can be repeatedly disassembled and reassembled is approximately 10.
Ordinary container houses: Such as the products of Tianjin Yufa Da Integrated Housing Co., Ltd., they have a wind resistance rating of force 9 and an earthquake resistance rating of magnitude 6, with a deformation rate of 0.41%. Installation requires 5 hours, and the layout is fixed and cannot be adjusted. Their disassembly and reuse performance is relatively poor.
In addition, there are some special types of container houses, such as giant black container buildings, composed of multiple construction-specific containers, which can be used for various scenarios including residences, studios, and cafes; fiberglass-reinforced plastic container houses, which are corrosion-resistant and durable; and movable glass curtain wall container houses, among others, meeting different usage needs and scenarios.
