  2. Internal Nested Container Mode:

    • An independent container is nested inside the cargo van. The container is equipped with thermal-break aluminum doors and windows on the outside and is exquisitely decorated on the inside, with household appliances and an independent bathroom.
    • The container can be used independently and can be removed when not in use, restoring the truck's cargo-carrying function.
    • Case: A truck owner customized an internally nested container, equipped with a circular sofa, electric hammock, household inverter air conditioner, induction cooker, sink, refrigerator, and other facilities, as well as an independent bathroom and coal-fired stove, meeting daily living and heating needs.

    • Directly purchase a container for overall renovation, including interior decoration, layout adjustment, and facility addition.
    • The renovated container house can be applied to various scenarios, such as residences, homestays, and auto service stores.
