One Platform, Twelve Looks

Every style below ships the same way — folded flat, several units per truck — and unfolds to a finished cabin with wiring, plumbing and insulation already installed. Choose a facade, or send us your own.

Layout drawings and the full specification sheet are available on request.

Folding container houses: common questions

Specifications, testing and assembly — the short answers.

How small does a folding container house pack down?

The export version folds to 390 mm high and the heavy-duty version to 415 mm, so multiple units stack into a single standard 40HQ container.

How long does assembly take on site?

About ten minutes to open a unit. The roof and floor panels hinge up into a rigid box, and no crane is required.

What is the difference between the export and heavy-duty versions?

Same folding platform, different specifications. The export version measures 5800 × 2500 × 2430 mm and weighs 1100 kg, with 75 mm EPS or rock wool sandwich wall panels and 304 stainless steel hinges. The heavy-duty version measures 6000 × 3000 × 2650 mm and weighs 1200 kg, with a corrugated steel roof over 50 mm rock wool, a Class A fire rating and seismic Level 8.

Has the folding structure been independently tested for wind and weather?

Yes. In 2023 the structure completed China's first full environmental stress test for folding container houses at Tsinghua University's Hefei public safety research institute, including 16-level typhoon-grade wind resistance validated in the institute's wind tunnel.

How many facade styles are available?

Twelve factory styles on one platform, from wood-grain and glass curtain wall facades to black-frame and grey-body units, gable-roof cabins, connected multi-unit layouts and solar canopies. Buyers can also supply their own facade design.

Is wiring and plumbing installed before shipping?

Yes. Units unfold into a finished cabin with wiring, plumbing and insulation already installed, so only site connections remain.
