Installation guidance
1. Lift the roof with a crane. Slowly raise it until the house unfolds, and then keep the crane in place.
2. Unfold the front and rear walls of the container. Push from the inside at both ends to make them stand properly.
3. Bolt the whole structure. There are pre - made bolt holes on the columns, and we'll supply sufficient bolts for you to fasten it.
4. Install the door lock. Since we don't want the door lock to damage the ceiling during folding, we won't install it in advance. If you need to move the house elsewhere and fold it, remember to remove the door lock beforehand.

Characteristics of Expandable Container Houses
1. Convenient transportation, especially suitable for units that often change construction sites;
Sturdy and durable. Made of all - steel material, it has strong anti - seismic and anti - deformation capabilities;
2. Good sealing performance. Strict manufacturing processes endow this type of movable house with excellent water - tightness;
3. Easy to disassemble and assemble, with superior performance, stable and firm, good shock - proof performance, waterproof, fire - proof and anti - corrosion, and light in weight. The house is of an integral structure with a frame inside. The walls are made of color - steel composite boards, which can be moved as a whole and have a service life of more than 20 years.
Uses of Expandable Container Houses Expandable
container houses are widely used in various occasions such as offices, living rooms, meeting rooms, dormitories, shops, toilets, storerooms, kitchens, shower rooms, etc. In addition, the layout of the house can be customized according to your requirements. Moreover, we can change the layout, add partition walls, toilets and other facilities, and it can be directly used upon arrival at the site.
FAQ and answers for40 - foot expandable container houses:
Question 1: What are the internal dimensions of a 40 - foot expandable container house?
Answer: The internal length of a standard 40 - foot container is approximately 12.03 meters, and the width is approximately 2.35 meters. After expansion, the width will increase by a certain amount depending on the expansion design. The specific increase in width varies with different expansion structures. Generally, it can significantly increase the indoor usable area and can be flexibly planned into multiple functional areas such as bedrooms, living rooms, and kitchens.
Question 2: How many people can this kind of house accommodate for living?
Answer: If used as a dormitory, it can accommodate about 8 - 10 people under simple configuration. However, if it is configured according to the family living standard with functional areas such as bedrooms and living rooms, it can comfortably accommodate a small family of 3 - 5 people, depending on the internal layout and furniture configuration.
Question 3: Is the structure of the 40 - ft expandable container house stable?
Answer: The structure of this kind of house is very stable. It has a high - strength steel frame. During the expansion process, there are specially - designed connection structures to ensure the overall stability. Moreover, various load conditions, including wind load and snow load, are considered in the design, and it can resist certain natural disasters. For example, in terms of wind resistance, it can withstand winds of magnitude 8 - 10.
Question 4: How is its fire - proof performance?
Answer: The 40 - ft expandable container house has relatively good fire - proof performance. Its frame is made of steel, which is not easy to burn by itself. The wall and roof materials usually adopt materials with a certain fire - proof standard (such as B1 level), such as fire - proof color - steel plates, etc., which can prevent the spread of fire for a certain period of time and provide enough escape time for the occupants.
Question 5: How is this kind of house transported?
Answer: In the un - expanded state, the 40 - ft expandable container house can be transported like an ordinary 40 - foot container, by truck, train or ship. During transportation, the house needs to be fixed to prevent shaking and collision. After arriving at the destination, the expansion and installation operations will be carried out.
Question 6: Is the installation complicated? How long does it take?
Answer: The installation is relatively simple. Generally speaking, if installed by a professional team, it takes about 1 - 3 days from transportation to the site to the completion of expansion and basic installation work such as water and electricity connection. The main steps include placing the house on a suitable foundation, performing expansion operations, connecting water and electricity lines, and doing some simple interior decoration finishing work.
Question 7: How is the thermal insulation performance inside the house?
Answer: The internal thermal insulation performance is good. The walls and roof adopt multi - layer structural materials with a thermal insulation layer in the middle, such as using polystyrene foam board (EPS) or polyurethane foam and other thermal insulation materials, which can effectively block the transfer of external heat and the loss of internal heat, making the interior relatively cool in hot summers and maintaining a certain warmth in cold winters.
Question 8: Can the interior decoration be customized?
Answer: Yes. Customers can customize the interior decoration style according to their own needs, including choosing floor materials (such as wooden floors, ceramic tiles, etc.), wall decorations (such as wallpapers, wall paints, etc.), and furniture configurations. They can also customize the layout of functional areas, such as adding special functional areas such as study rooms and entertainment rooms.
