Wuhan Container House Dimensions

Admin September 15, 2026

The common dimensions of container houses in Wuhan mainly include the following types:

I. Standard Dimensions

  1. 3m × 3m × 2.8m With an area of 9 square meters, this is a small-sized container house. Due to its relatively small size, material utilization is limited. It is usually customized according to specific customer needs and is mostly used in scenarios such as construction site guardrooms and small warehouses.
  2. 6m × 3m × 2.8m Covering an area of 18 square meters, this is the most common standard size on the market. Its interior space can accommodate 6 bunk beds, meeting the living needs of 8 - 10 people. It is widely used in construction site dormitories, temporary offices, and medical epidemic prevention scenarios.
  3. 7m × 3m × 2.8m With an area of 21 square meters, it is usually used as a two-story container mobile house. Compared to the 6-meter model, it features added corridor and canopy designs, making the interior space layout more flexible and suitable for projects that require layering or extended functions.

II. Customized Dimensions According to customer requirements, container houses can be customized to non-standard sizes such as 3m × 8m, 3m × 9m, and 3m × 12m. These customized products are mostly used in special scenarios such as commercial districts, cultural and tourism projects, or personalized residences. Prices vary depending on materials, craftsmanship, and dimensions.

III. Dimensions of Container Houses Modified from Shipping Containers Some container houses are modified from standard shipping containers. Common external dimensions are as follows:

  • 20-foot container: 5898mm (length) × 2352mm (width) × 2390mm (height), with an internal volume of approximately 30 cubic meters.
  • 40-foot container: 12024mm (length) × 2352mm (width) × 2390mm (height), with an internal volume of approximately 65 cubic meters.
  • 40-foot high-cube container: 12024mm (length) × 2352mm (width) × 2698mm (height), with an internal volume of approximately 75 cubic meters. After internal modification, these containers can be used in fixed buildings or mobile scenarios, but attention should be paid to transportation and lifting restrictions.

IV. Dimensions of Packing-Box Container Houses Packing-box container houses, which adopt welded structures and galvanized steel frames, have standard interior dimensions of 5880mm (length) × 2840mm (width) × 2500mm (height) and weigh approximately 1350kg. Their modular design facilitates quick assembly and is suitable for construction site temporary buildings and emergency rescue scenarios.
