Zhuhai Container House Size

Admin September 15, 2026

The common size specification of container houses in Zhuhai is mainly a standard box measuring 6 meters × 3 meters × 2.8 meters (length × width × height), with an internal area of approximately 18 square meters and a weight of about 2 tons. The following provides further explanations from the perspectives of different types and suppliers:

I. Standard Container Houses
The standard boxes provided by Zhuhai Zhisheng Container Leasing Co., Ltd. measure 6 meters × 3 meters × 2.8 meters, with an internal area of 18 square meters. They use No. 10 channel steel and No. 8 channel steel as the framework, with double-sided 0.376-millimeter color steel plates sandwiching 10 kilograms of foam for the walls, and high-temperature wear-resistant tiles laid on the floor. These container houses are widely used in scenarios such as temporary construction site buildings and mobile guard posts, and they have the performance of withstanding wind up to level 11, earthquakes up to level 8, and fire resistance of Class B (difficult to burn).

II. Packing-Box Container Houses
Some suppliers offer packing-box container houses with internal dimensions of 5880 millimeters (length) × 2840 millimeters (width) × 2500 millimeters (height). The bottom frame is made of 3.0-millimeter-thick galvanized main beams, and the walls are 75-millimeter-thick color steel glass wool sandwich panels. These houses are characterized by modular design, offering high transportation and assembly efficiency, but their sizes differ slightly from standard boxes.

III. Customized Container Houses
There are also non-standard customized container houses in the Zhuhai market, such as those with specifications of 3 meters × 7 meters and 4.5 meters × 1.5 meters (dedicated for four-person restrooms). Some suppliers can design duplex structures according to customer needs. For example, three 40-foot containers spliced together can have dimensions of 11.8 meters × 6.75 meters × 2.8 meters, with the usable area expanded to 80 square meters, suitable for office or homestay scenarios.

IV. Explanation of Size Differences
The sizes of container houses from different suppliers may vary due to material thickness and design purposes. For example, the residential containers provided by Zhuhai Zhongshen Container Co., Ltd. have a height of 2.75 meters, slightly lower than the 2.8 meters of standard boxes; while some container houses modified from shipping containers may have a height exceeding 3 meters. Before purchasing, it is necessary to confirm the specific size parameters and material configurations.
