Fold out container house

The foldable container house is a foldable prefabricated house. It utilizes a high-strength steel frame with a yield strength of 345MPa and incorporates B1 fire-rated insulation panels, making it both durable and environmentally friendly. Compared to conventional prefabricated houses, its most significant feature is its ability to fold and unfold like origami, making it extremely convenient for transportation and storage. This foldable prefab house can also be equipped with security doors and windows, a solar power system, and a sewage treatment system as needed, making it adaptable to various scenarios, such as outdoor camps, post-disaster resettlement sites, and temporary exhibition halls.

How to unfold a prefab folding house?

Unfolding a foldable container house is simple and requires no specialized tools.

1. Place the folded house on a flat surface and use a level to ensure the ground slope does not exceed 3 degrees.
2. Unlock the four corner locks, which are designed to prevent accidental release by simultaneously pressing both buttons.
3. Two people then grasp each side handle and slowly pull outward, maintaining a force between 50 and 80 kg, until the side frame clicks, indicating full deployment and automatic locking.
4. Lower the four bottom support legs and adjust the height using the adjustment knobs, maintaining a tolerance of 5 mm.
5. Finally, install the roof and side panels. The panels connect magnetically and secure with a gentle push once aligned. This entire process requires two to three people and takes 30 minutes.

Dimensions and Weight of the foldable prefab house

1. When folded, a standard foldout container house is 6 meters long, 2.5 meters wide, and 2.2 meters high, roughly the size of a small shipping container. It can fit directly into a 40-foot shipping container, each of which can accommodate three standard foldout houses. 2. In addition to the standard model, there are also mini models (4 meters long, 2 meters wide, and 2 meters high) and extra large models (8 meters long, 3 meters wide, and 2.4 meters high).
2. The standard model weighs approximately 2.5 tons, the mini model 1.8 tons, and the extra large model 3.2 tons. They can be transported on a standard 3-ton truck, and 6-8 standard models can be loaded at a time. This size and weight saves 60% of the shipping space required by traditional prefabricated houses, significantly reducing transportation costs and making them convenient for storage in confined spaces such as corners on construction sites and in scenic areas.

Layout of the foldable prefab house When Unfolded

1. When unfolded, the standard model offers a usable area of up to 30 square meters, the mini model 18 square meters, and the extra large model 40 square meters.
2. The typical layout is one bedroom and one living room, divided by a 5-centimeter-thick lightweight partition that is removable. The living room features a 60cm-wide simple worktop and three-tiered storage shelves, providing 1.2 cubic meters of storage space. The bedroom can accommodate two 1.2m-wide single beds, with drawer-style storage compartments underneath.
3. The doors and windows are made of thermally insulated aluminum. The windows measure 1.2m x 0.8m and are positioned out of direct sunlight, ensuring ventilation and reducing summer heat.
4. The layout can be adjusted to suit your needs, such as converting into an office area with three workstations or a dormitory for six people. Folding tables and chairs, wall-mounted air conditioners, and other equipment can be added.

What is the structural stability of the foldable container house?

1. The foldable container house has undergone rigorous stability testing. The frame is fully welded, with weld points achieving a tensile strength of 800MPa. The overall wind resistance rating is 8, capable of withstanding winds of 17.2 meters per second. No additional reinforcement is required for short-term use in coastal areas. 2. The bottom support legs are solid steel columns with a diameter of 10 cm and are adjustable from 10 to 30 cm to accommodate uneven surfaces.
2. The wall panels are bolted to the frame, and the gaps are sealed with EPDM sealing strips, ensuring excellent sealing performance and preventing leaks even in torrential rains of 100 mm/hour.
3. In daily use, simply check the locks and support legs for tightness monthly and avoid overloading (maximum 200 kg per square meter). This ensures structural stability and a service life of over 15 years.
