Xiangyang Old Container Mobile House
Xiangyang old container mobile houses generally refer to movable living or office spaces transformed from used or second-hand containers. Their essence is modular integrated construction, characterized by rapid construction, recyclability, and relatively low cost.

1. Industry Essence and Advantages Container mobile houses are not simply transformed from used shipping containers but adopt a fully prefabricated modular design. All components are standardized and produced in factories, and assembled on-site through bolt connections, eliminating the need for wet construction (such as concrete pouring) typical of traditional buildings. This process reduces the construction period by over 90% compared to traditional brick-and-mortar structures and achieves a material recycling rate exceeding 90%, meeting green building standards. Their core advantages include:
- Rapid Deployment: Four workers can complete the assembly of a quick-assembly packing container in three hours, making it suitable for emergency projects or scenarios with tight schedules.
- Relocatability: The houses can be disassembled and reassembled multiple times, adapting to the need for frequent cross-regional relocations, such as construction site dormitories and temporary exhibition halls.
- Cost-Effectiveness: The material costs are low, and transportation space is optimized (e.g., the volume of a folded container in its collapsed state is only one-fifth of its expanded state), reducing logistics expenses.
2. Mainstream Processes and Suitable Scenarios According to functional requirements, old container mobile houses can be classified into the following types:
- Quick-Assembly Packing Containers: With standard dimensions of 5950mm×3000mm×2800mm, they feature an independent drainage system and an elevated pitched roof to prevent leakage, suitable for general scenarios such as construction site offices and staff dormitories.
- Folding Containers: Four workers can complete the setup in ten minutes, saving transportation space and suitable for large-scale emergency orders or overseas camps.
- Corrugated Containers: Featuring corrugated steel plate exterior walls, they offer strong impact resistance and are suitable for environments with high structural wear requirements, such as industrial and mining plants and mining areas.
- Double-Wing Expandable Containers: After expansion, the interior area increases to 2.3 times that of the original container, and they can be equipped with independent bathrooms, suitable for scenarios requiring high spatial comfort, such as scenic area homestays and temporary exhibition halls.
3. Local Supply Situation in Xiangyang Xiangyang Baiwan Container Co., Ltd. is one of the main local suppliers, with businesses covering container production, processing, recycling, leasing, and sales, and offering transformation services for used containers.
