Modular Mobile House: Flat Pack Container House

With the development of the construction industry, in the field of temporary buildings, flat pack container houses are now increasingly favored by people, occupying more and more market share and gradually becoming the dominant player in this field. So, why is this the case?


Below, Zhongtai will introduce the strengths of this "dark horse" and why it is becoming more and more popular.


Flat pack container houses, a new type of green building, use standard containers as basic units. These units can be freely combined horizontally or vertically like building blocks, offering flexible space layouts and prefabricated functionalities, thus achieving diversified usage functionalities and application fields.


Seven Major Advantages of Flat Pack Container Houses


Mature Frame Structure


Flat pack container houses feature a steel frame structure, with the steel being cold-formed and galvanized. The structure is composed of a top frame component, corner column system, and bottom frame component. Each system module is manufactured in the factory and assembled on site.


  • Various Combinations: Using a single container as a unit, arbitrary stacking and assembly can be done, and decorations like roofs and terraces can be added.


  • Energy Saving and Environmental Protection: By adopting the "factory manufacturing + on-site installation" model, it reduces construction water consumption and concrete waste by about 60%, construction waste and decoration waste by about 70%, saves about 50% of energy, improves overall production volume by about 2-3 times, and rationally utilizes all spaces, saving more land.


  • Convenient Mobility: Modern transportation methods such as highways, railways, and ships can be used. There is no need to dismantle during relocation; it can be moved as a whole without loss and can be reused multiple times.


  • Safe and Durable: The structural strength of the flat pack container house has been tested on a special test bench for mechanics, making it safe and reliable. It withstands earthquakes up to magnitude 8 and winds up to level 12, with a service life of more than 20 years. It also features compression resistance, insulation, soundproofing, fire resistance, waterproofing, snow resistance, and wind resistance.


Components such as electro-galvanized cold-formed sections, electrostatic spraying treatment, ensuring safety, firmness, moisture-proof, rust-proof, fire-proof, and wind and earthquake resistance.


Flexible Space Combinations


Using the standard container as the basic unit, various forms of horizontal or vertical combinations can be freely achieved like building blocks. These box systems can be stacked up to three layers, providing flexible spaces and prefabricated functionalities to meet different space requirements.


Fully Equipped


Flat pack container houses can be paired with roofs, walkways, canopies, stairs, porches, and other various accessories according to needs. They can also be internally and externally decorated, with a variety of functional module containers available for choice.


Convenient Transportation


By using methods like flat compression or transporting entire containers or scattered parts, transportation efficiency is improved, reducing long-distance transportation costs.


All components of the container are installed and then folded to a height of a few dozen centimeters. During on-site installation, a crane can be used to lift it into place, quickly presenting a complete container. Compared to traditional container houses, flat pack container houses are more integrated, with more efficient transportation and installation.


Quick Installation


Flat pack container houses feature a no-welding design, with simple installation that can be carried out on site. On average, four skilled workers can install 5-7 standard modules per day. After assembly, the entire container can be transported and relocated, with modular construction achieving rapid and efficient results.


Eco-friendly and Energy-saving


Flat pack container houses use new environmentally friendly materials. Since the modules are pre-made in the factory, no construction waste is generated at the site. After the project, there is no construction waste, preventing pollution. Flat pack container houses can be hoisted to different locations and reused, making them highly energy-efficient.


Reliable Quality Control


Zhongtai flat pack container house factory offers exquisite workmanship, attention to detail, and quality assurance. The production efficiency is high, with a daily production capacity of up to 500 sets. Zhongtai factory also provides customized services to meet customer needs, offering tailored solutions for flat pack container houses.


Wide Applications of Flat Pack Container Houses


Due to its standard container as the basic unit, with strong mobility and variability, flat pack container houses offer diversified functionality. They are widely used in offices, dormitories, conference rooms, bathrooms, kitchens, and security checkpoints. Application fields are diverse, including engineering camps, commercial housing, public service housing, military camps, tourism, municipal temporary housing, disaster relief housing, and temporary hospital quarantine rooms.
