Chongqing Has Container Houses
Chongqing indeed has container houses, which are widely used and diverse in types.

I. Types and Structural Features
Container houses in Chongqing are based on standard containers and are transformed into independent office or living units after modification. Common sizes are 20 feet and 40 feet, which can be used individually or combined. Their structures are mainly steel, featuring sturdy and durable, earthquake-resistant and wind-resistant, fire-resistant and flame-retardant characteristics. Some products use galvanized steel, with a service life of over 20 years. Additionally, container houses have the advantage of modular design, allowing flexible expansion or combination according to needs. For example, expandable containers can increase the usable area by 30%-50% by adding lateral or end expansion modules.
II. Application Scenarios
- Construction Sites: Used as temporary office and accommodation units to solve workers' living problems. For example, the residential containers provided by Chongqing Le'anju Container Leasing Co., Ltd. have become standard on construction sites due to their stable structure, waterproof and rust-proof properties, and thermal and sound insulation performance.
- Commercial Spaces: Container shops are used in street commerce, pop-up stores, cafes, and other scenarios due to their unique visual appeal and scene attractiveness.
