Admin 16 de septiembre de 2026
The length, width, and height of container mobile houses vary depending on the type and customization requirements. Below are the common standard dimensions and customization ranges:

I. Standard Container Sizes
20-foot Standard Container (20GP)
- External Dimensions: Length 6058mm, Width 2438mm, Height 2591mm
- Internal Dimensions: Length 5867mm, Width 2330mm, Height 2350mm
- Common Uses: Single-person offices, dormitories, shops
40-foot Standard Container (40GP)
- External Dimensions: Length 12192mm, Width 2438mm, Height 2591mm
- Internal Dimensions: Length 11998mm, Width 2330mm, Height 2350mm
- Common Uses: Multi-functional spaces that can be divided, dormitories for multiple people
40-foot High Cube Container (40HQ)

- Internal Dimensions: Length 11998mm, Width 2330mm, Height 2655mm
- Common Uses: Exhibition halls and housing with height requirements
II. Non-standard Custom Sizes
Common Specifications
- Length: 3m, 6m, 9m, 12m, etc. (e.g., 3m×6m×2.7m, 6m×3m×2.8m)
- Width: 2.4m, 2.5m, 2.55m, 3m, 4m, etc.
- Height: 2.6m, 2.7m, 2.8m, 2.9m, etc.
Special Requirements
- Door and window positions, partitions, exteriors, and interior decorations can all be customized as needed.
- For example: The standard size of a foldable container house is 3m (width) × 6m (length) × 2.75m (height), and it folds down to a height of only 41cm for easy transportation.
III. Basis for Size Selection
- Functional Requirements: For single-person living or office use, a 20-foot container may be suitable; for multi-person spaces or partitioned functions, a 40-foot container is needed.
- Transportation Limitations: Standard container sizes comply with international transportation standards (e.g., 20-foot and 40-foot containers). For non-standard sizes, transportation plans need to be confirmed in advance.
- Site Conditions: Adjust the length, width, and height according to the space limitations of the installation site. For example, narrow sites may require a narrow design (e.g., width of 2.4m).
IV. Precautions
- The internal net height should account for the thickness of decoration materials (e.g., ceilings, floors), and the actual usable height may be lower than the nominal value.
- For non-standard customization, confirm the structural safety with the supplier, especially for widened, heightened, or irregular designs.
- Some suppliers offer modular combination solutions, allowing the expansion of space by joining multiple containers together.
