- Irregularly Shaped Design Containers: Special shapes such as sloped roofs and arcs are developed for mountainous and narrow sites, with heights adjustable within the range of 3-6 meters, enhancing terrain adaptability.
- Other Customized Sizes: Such as 6 meters in length × 3 meters in width × 2.8 meters in height, or 2.4×6 meters, 2.4×8 meters, 2.4×12 meters, etc., can be flexibly made according to customer needs.
Internal Space Configuration
