1. Folding container houses adopt a modular system with flexible layout options. Units can be designed to meet different usage needs—living space, office, dining area, sanitary facilities, and more.
2. Customizable Sizes: Units can be manufactured to various dimensions based on customer specifications.
3. Repeatable Folding: All joints use specially designed high-strength hinges, enabling the unit to be folded over 1,000 times without deformation or failure.
4. Sealed Connection Points: Folding sections are reinforced with plastic seals and precision-engineered edges to prevent air or water leakage.
5. Fire and Weather Resistance: The frame is made of galvanized steel with A-grade fireproof panels, tested for wind resistance up to 100 km/h and seismic resistance in line with GB50011-2010 standards.
6. No On-Site Waste: Since all components are pre-installed at the factory, no cutting, welding, or heavy construction is required on site.
These features make folding container houses suitable for industries such as construction, oil and gas, disaster relief, government temporary housing, and mobile clinics or classrooms.
1. Portable container homes are used to provide basic housing for low-income communities, students, and populations affected by natural disasters. Container homes can be quickly deployed and assembled on site, offering a practical solution for temporary or transitional shelter. A single unit can typically be installed within 3–5 hours using minimal equipment.
2. In tourism zones, container homes are often used as modular lodging units in campsites, coastal resorts, or scenic areas. A 20ft container unit can be equipped with basic amenities like a bed, toilet, and small kitchenette, and connected to utilities for immediate use.
3. Container homes are widely used on construction sites and remote project locations as temporary offices, meeting rooms, control centers, or workshops. With customizable internal partitions, one foldable container unit (approx. 18㎡) can be divided into multiple functional areas. The ability to fold and relocate the units between projects reduces setup and breakdown time by over 70% compared to conventional prefab buildings.
4. In regions where permanent construction is difficult—such as mining zones, mountain research stations, or isolated islands—container homes can be transported via truck or ship and assembled on uneven terrain. Each folded unit occupies only 1/8 of its full volume, allowing 10–12 foldable houses to be loaded in a single 40’HQ shipping container, significantly cutting logistics costs.
