Regular Standard Size
The frame flat-panel containers produced by Zhongshan Zhongyi Portable Panel House Co., Ltd. have a regular standard size of 3M (length) × 6M (width) × 2.73M (height). Made of steel and sandwich panels, they are movable, recyclable, and cost-effective. This size is suitable for office and temporary living needs on construction sites. The interior net height is approximately 2.6 meters, with an expanded area of about 18 square meters. It can accommodate a double bed, a simple desk, and a standing wardrobe, making efficient use of space without feeling cramped.

Other Common Specifications

  1. Small Size: 3 meters in length, 3 meters in width, and 2.8 meters in height, with an area of 9 square meters. It is suitable for scenarios with extremely limited space requirements but is usually only produced upon special customer requests due to material utilization issues.
  2. Standard Model Size: 6 meters in length, 3 meters in width, and 2.8 meters in height, with an area of 18 square meters. It is the most common specification on the market, widely used in construction sites, road construction, and other fields. It can accommodate 6 bunk beds with additional space.
  3. Two-Story Mobile House Size: 7 meters in length, 3 meters in width, and 2.8 meters in height, with an area of 21 square meters. It is mostly used for two-story container mobile houses, equipped with corridors and balconies to meet more complex living needs.

Custom Sizes
In addition to standard sizes, container houses can be customized according to customer needs, with sizes and areas varying widely. For example, some suppliers offer specifications such as 3M×3M, 3M×8M, and 3M×9M, or achieve larger spaces through splicing (such as 40-foot containers, 60-foot containers, etc.). During customization, it is necessary to discuss specific dimensions, materials, and craftsmanship with the manufacturer to ensure functional and budgetary requirements are met.
