Second-Hand Container House Dimensions Diagram

Admin 17 de septiembre de 2026

Common dimensions of second-hand container houses include 6 meters, 12 meters, and other customized specifications. The specific dimensions and features are as follows:

1. 6-meter Second-Hand Container House

  • External Dimensions: Length 6.096 meters, Width 2.438 meters, Height 2.591 meters.
  • Internal Dimensions: Length 5.898 meters, Width 2.352 meters, Height 2.385 meters, with a volume of approximately 33 cubic meters.
  • Features: The container body is welded with high-strength steel, ensuring a sturdy structure and strong resistance to wind and earthquakes. The compact internal space is suitable for use as a temporary office, warehouse, or small living unit. Its standardized design facilitates transportation and stacking, allowing for rapid deployment at construction sites, disaster areas, and other locations.

2. 12-meter Second-Hand Container House

  • Width and Height: The width is fixed at 2.44 meters, with two height options—standard box at 2.6 meters and high box at 2.9 meters. The length is typically 12 meters, although some suppliers offer splicing and expansion options.
  • Features: It offers high space utilization, making it suitable for scenarios requiring larger activity areas, such as construction site dormitories, shops, or exhibition halls. The iron shell provides excellent sealing, effectively preventing moisture and insects, and adapting to harsh environments. The bottom is equipped with corner fittings for easy handling by forklifts or cranes, offering greater mobility flexibility than traditional buildings.

3. Other Customized Dimensions

  • 3 meters wide × 7 meters long: These container houses achieve wider internal space through horizontal expansion and are typically equipped with compartments and security doors, making them suitable for multi-person dormitories or small office partitions.
  • 20-foot House Container: With a length of 6 meters (standard 20-foot container dimensions), width of 2.4 meters, and height of 2.6 meters, the interior has already undergone basic decoration (such as one door and two windows, wall treatment), allowing for immediate use and shortening the construction period.

Selection Advice:

  • For rapid construction of independent functional units (such as offices or warehouses), prioritize the 6-meter standard container.
  • For larger space requirements or multi-person occupancy, the 12-meter container or splicing solution is more appropriate.
  • For special scenarios (such as narrow sites or temporary shops), consider customized dimensions, but confirm structural safety and transportation feasibility with the supplier.

Precautions:

  • Actual dimensions may vary slightly due to the supplier's processing techniques, so it is recommended to refer to the contract specifications.
  • Although the high box (2.9 meters) increases internal height, it may be subject to height restrictions from bridges and tunnels during transportation, requiring advance route planning.
