Admin September 15, 2026

The Yumen foldable container house is a movable and reusable modular building product, characterized by its stable structure, easy installation, and low transportation costs. It is widely used in areas such as temporary housing on construction sites and movable panel houses.

1. Structure and Materials

The foldable container house is welded from special section steel, making it sturdy and durable with good pressure resistance, wear resistance, impact resistance, and moisture resistance. Its box unit structure consists of standard components connected by bolts, facilitating easy installation and disassembly. The house is typically made of steel, providing strong earthquake and deformation resistance, suitable for use in complex environments.

2. Specifications and Dimensions

The common specifications for foldable container houses are a width of 3 meters, a length of 6 meters, and a height of 2.8 meters, with a building area of approximately 18 square meters and a self-weight of about 1.5 tons. This standardized size design facilitates transportation and storage, while also allowing for horizontal or vertical combination according to needs to create larger usable spaces.

3. Advantages and Features

  1. Movable and Reusable: The foldable container house can be folded and unfolded multiple times, facilitating transportation and redeployment, making it suitable for projects requiring frequent location changes.
  2. Easy Installation: Only 2-3 people are needed for on-site installation and disassembly, with a short installation time, significantly improving construction efficiency.
  3. Low Transportation and Storage Costs: A 6-meter vehicle can carry approximately 6 houses, while a 17.5-meter flatbed truck can carry about 20. During storage, they can be stacked in multiple layers, saving space and costs.
  4. Superior Performance: They possess fire resistance, earthquake resistance, wind resistance, and leak-proof properties, meeting relevant emergency housing standards and having a long service life.
  5. Cost Optimization: Compared to traditional color-steel houses and other container houses, foldable container houses offer certain advantages in terms of usage costs.

4. Application Scenarios

Foldable container houses are widely used in areas such as temporary housing on construction sites, movable panel houses, mobile offices, and emergency housing. Their modular design and flexibility enable them to quickly adapt to the needs of different scenarios, providing efficient solutions for temporary housing.
