6-meter Mobile Container House

A 6-meter mobile container house typically refers to an independent functional unit transformed from a standard 6-meter-long container. Its common specifications are an external size of approximately 6×2.4×2.6 meters and an internal net size of about 5.8×2.35×2.4 meters. It can meet different scenario requirements through single-unit use or multi-unit splicing.

I. Core Structure and Materials

A standard 6-meter container house uses weathering steel (such as CORTEN steel) or galvanized steel structure as the main frame. The container body is made of corrugated plates or color-coated steel plates, providing high strength and deformation resistance. Its four corner columns, bottom crossbeams, and welds should be free of bending, rusting through, or cracking. The bottom should have an anti-water accumulation design to ensure structural safety. Some products can increase the usable area by 30%-50% by adding side or end expansion modules, making them suitable for long-term on-site office use.

II. Functional Classifications and Application Scenarios

1. Basic Type: A single-unit structure suitable for construction site dormitories, temporary storage, small shops, or homestays. It can be equipped with basic utilities, PVC flooring, and hollow windows to meet basic living needs.
2. Expanded Type: Adds foldable or sliding expansion modules to the container, creating a larger space when unfolded. It is often used for project departments or command centers with higher comfort requirements.
3. Customized Type: Combines glass curtain walls, wood-grain finishes, or irregular structures for brand displays, cultural and creative parks, or high-end temporary offices, balancing functionality and visual design.

III. Price Range and Influencing Factors

1. Second-hand Market:
   • Basic refurbished models (rust removal and painting + old flooring + basic utility repairs): Under 10,000 yuan;
   • Premium refurbished models (new rock wool + Class A fire resistance + new circuits + PVC flooring + hollow windows): Negotiable;
   • Construction site special-price containers (varying conditions): Under 3,000 yuan (freight and hoisting costs not included).
2. New Customization: Prices vary greatly depending on the configuration. For example, a furnished integrated house can cost 1,410.75 yuan per square meter, while high-end creative design models may exceed 30,000 yuan per set.
3. Key Variables: The container's condition (degree of rust), refurbishment configuration (circuits, insulation, doors and windows), transportation distance, and hoisting costs all affect the final quote.

IV. Purchase and Inspection Points

1. Structural Safety: Check that the four corner columns and bottom crossbeams are free of rust perforation, the welds are free of cracking, and the bottom is free of water accumulation rust.
2. Functional Integrity:
   • The roof/wall corrugated plates should be free of rust holes, and water leakage should be confirmed during rainy-day inspections;
   • The floor should be free of mildew, holes, or softening;
   • The electrical circuit should be equipped with leakage protection, and the wires should be free of exposure or aging.
3. Compliance: Confirm that the site allows placement (e.g., temporary buildings in urban areas require planning permits). Prioritize products that have passed IICL standards or ISO quality certifications.
