Xingtai Container House Size
The common size of container houses in Xingtai is mainly 3 meters wide × 6 meters long, with an internal clear height of about 2.6 meters and an expanded area of about 18 square meters. In addition, there are customized models and other specifications derived from shipping containers.

I. Standard Specification: 3m × 6m
This is the most commonly used container house size in the Xingtai area, suitable for construction site offices, temporary residences, and other scenarios. With an internal clear height of about 2.6 meters and an expanded area of about 18 square meters, it can accommodate a double bed, a simple desk, and a standing wardrobe, making efficient use of space without feeling cramped. The advantages of this size include:
- Convenient transportation and hoisting: It meets the height restrictions for road transportation and can easily pass through narrow construction passages;
- Flexible modular combination: It supports vertical and horizontal splicing to form larger spaces (such as 40-foot and 60-foot containers);
- Reasonable internal layout: The walls are made of double-layer color steel plates with rock wool insulation, providing excellent sound insulation and thermal insulation. The doors are equipped with double-layer hollow glass for strong sealing.
II. Customized Specifications
According to customer needs, some manufacturers in Xingtai offer customized non-standard size services. Common specifications include:
- Small size: Such as 2.5 meters × 6 meters, suitable for scenarios with lower space requirements;
- Long size: Such as 3 meters × 12 meters, achieved through splicing, meeting the needs of temporary exhibition halls, command centers, etc.;
- Special function rooms: Such as container conference rooms, kitchens and bathrooms, guard rooms, etc., with sizes adjusted according to functional design.
III. Specifications Derived from Shipping Containers
Some manufacturers provide the following sizes based on the modification of shipping containers:
- 20-foot container: External dimensions of 5898mm × 2352mm × 2390mm, with an internal volume of about 30 cubic meters;
- 40-foot container: External dimensions of 12024mm × 2352mm × 2390mm, with an internal volume of about 65 cubic meters;
- 45-foot high cube container: External dimensions of 13580mm × 2340mm × 2680mm, with an internal volume of about 86 cubic meters.
These specifications are mostly used for logistics warehousing or large-scale temporary facilities. It should be noted that the internal clear height may be reduced due to modifications.
IV. Other Considerations
- Material differences: The wall thickness and steel specifications may vary among different suppliers and should be measured accurately;
- Functional expansion: The roof can be reserved with inspection ports and exhaust vents, supporting the installation of silent ventilation fans to improve ventilation conditions;
- Safety compliance: Choose manufacturers that meet earthquake resistance and fire protection standards to avoid safety hazards caused by the use of inferior materials.
