Automobile House Container Size

The common sizes of automobile house containers are mainly 20 feet and 40 feet, with specific parameters as follows:

20-foot Container

1. External Dimensions:
   • Standard model: Length 6.058 meters × Width 2.438 meters × Height 2.591 meters.
   • Extra-tall model: Height up to 2.896 meters (e.g., Dongguan Standard Automobile products).
2. Internal Dimensions:
   • Standard model: Length 5.898 meters (5858 mm for Dongguan Standard) × Width 2.352 meters (2238 mm for Dongguan Standard) × Height 2.393 meters (internal height of extra-tall model is 2590 mm).
3. Volume and Load Capacity:
   • Volume approximately 33.2 cubic meters, standard load capacity approximately 28 tons (Dongguan Standard products can reach up to 30 tons).
4. Special Design:
   • The 20-foot house container produced by Dongguan Standard Automobile Co., Ltd. has external dimensions of 6058×2438×2896 mm, internal dimensions of 5858×2238×2590 mm, and an area of 13.8 square meters, suitable for modular construction or temporary living scenarios.

40-foot Container

1. External Dimensions:
   • Standard model: Length 12.192 meters × Width 2.438 meters × Height 2.591 meters.
   • High-cube model: Height increased to 2.896 meters to accommodate taller cargo or special needs.
2. Internal Dimensions:
   • Standard model: Length 12.032 meters × Width 2.352 meters × Height 2.393 meters.
   • High-cube model: Internal height is higher, with specific values varying by manufacturer but typically exceeding 2.591 meters.
3. Volume and Load Capacity:
   • Volume approximately 67.7 cubic meters, load capacity approximately 26 tons (note that the load capacity of 40-foot containers may be slightly lower than that of certain 20-foot models due to structural differences).

Selection Recommendations

1. Cargo Characteristics:
   • Lightweight, bulky cargo (e.g., furniture, textiles) should prioritize 40-foot containers to maximize volume utilization.
   • Heavy cargo (e.g., machinery, metal materials) should consider load capacity limits, with 20-foot containers possibly being more suitable.
2. Transport Vehicle Matching:
   • The carrying capacity of container trucks and train cars should match the dimensions and load capacity of the containers to avoid overloading.
3. Regulatory Requirements:
   • Different countries or regions may have additional restrictions on container height and width (e.g., some European roads have restrictions on extra-tall containers), which should be confirmed in advance.

Note: The above data are international standards, and actual products may vary slightly due to manufacturer design. It is recommended to contact the supplier to confirm parameters based on specific needs.
