Expandable Container House – Overview
The expandable container house is a modular, transportable home engineered for rapid setup and repeat deployment. Its fold-out structure delivers full-size living space on site within minutes, then compacts again for efficient shipping. Typical uses include residential cabins, weekenders, site offices, pop-up shops, and auxiliary dwellings.

- Typical setup in minutes by an experienced crew.
- Available for private, commercial, and retail applications.
- Transportable, durable, low maintenance.
- Wind and earthquake rated; heat and sound insulated.
Steel Structure Sample – Use & Performance
A steel‑frame expandable mobile house is a prefabricated unit designed to transform into larger living areas when required. Mobility allows fast redeployment for temporary housing, emergency response, or seasonal needs, while simplified assembly speeds on‑site construction.
Energy and services can be configured for self‑sufficiency, including solar readiness and water treatment options. Material choices and envelope design support lower heating/cooling demand across varied climates.
Advantages
- Ventilation capacity: Up to eight windows per unit (additional windows optional). Provision for air‑conditioner socket at the top of the wall panel.
- Fire & seismic performance: Fireproof rating A for rock wool panels; seismic grade 8; tight weatherproofing for the roof and wall system.
- Materials: Galvanized steel tube frame for corrosion resistance; wall panels in rock wool or EPS (fire rating A, waterproof). Customization available to match budget and project requirements.
Logistics & Installation (Key Info)
- Transport: 100% transportable; compact folding reduces volume and cost.
- Assembly: Fast unfold‑and‑lock sequence; small crew required.
- Utilities: Pre‑planned routes for power, HVAC, plumbing, and wastewater.
- Scalability: Select 20ft/40ft bases and expand layouts as needed.
