Ningbo Container House Sizes

Admin 15 de septiembre de 2026

The common sizes of container houses in Ningbo include the following types:

I. Standard Size Types

  1. 3m × 3m × 2.8m
    With an area of 9 square meters, this is a small container house, typically used for special-need scenarios. Due to its small size, material utilization is relatively low, and it is generally only produced when explicitly requested by customers.
  2. 6m × 3m × 2.8m
    With an area of 18 square meters, this is the most common standard size on the market, widely used in construction sites, road construction, and other scenarios. Its interior space can accommodate 6 bunk beds, meeting the living needs of about 8 people while leaving extra space for activities.
  3. 7m × 3m × 2.8m
    With an area of 21 square meters, this size is often used for the design of two-story container activity rooms, equipped with corridors and balconies, suitable for projects requiring layering or extended functionality.

II. Shipping Container Modification Sizes
Container house sizes based on international standard shipping container modifications include:

  • 20-foot container: External dimensions of 5898mm × 2352mm × 2390mm, with an internal volume of approximately 30 cubic meters and a gross weight of about 20 tons.
  • 40-foot container: External dimensions of 12024mm × 2352mm × 2390mm, with an internal volume of approximately 65 cubic meters and a gross weight of about 26 tons.
  • 40-foot high cube container: External dimensions of 12024mm × 2352mm × 2698mm, with an internal volume of approximately 75 cubic meters and a gross weight of about 26 tons.
    These sizes are commonly used in scenarios requiring modular assembly, allowing for expansion through vertical or horizontal assembly.

III. Custom Size Types
Flexibly designed according to customer needs, common custom sizes include:

  • 3m × 3m × 6m (Improved 20-foot standard container)
  • 3m × 3m × 9m (30-foot custom container)
  • 3m × 3m × 12m (40-foot custom container)
  • Maximum dimensions of up to 14m × 3.5m × 3.2m (Third-generation container transport standard)
    Custom sizes need to be determined through consultation with the manufacturer, and parameters such as material thickness and structural strength may vary depending on the supplier.

IV. Packaged Container House Specifications
The interior dimensions are 5880mm × 2840mm × 2500mm, with a base frame made of 3.0mm thick galvanized main beams and walls using 75mm thick color-steel glass wool sandwich panels, suitable for scenarios requiring high thermal insulation performance.
