These mechanisms create an efficient, modular expandable design that transforms a compact container into a spacious living area within minutes.
Durability and long-term performance are key. The structure is built with:
These materials make the container house tough, energy-efficient, and easy to maintain.
The mobile expandable container house measures:
| Status | Length (ft) | Width (ft) | Height (ft) | Approx. Weight (lbs) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Collapsed | 20 | 8 | 8.5 | 8,500 |
| Fully Expanded | 35 | 16 | 9 | 9,500 |
This compact collapsed size allows easy transport, while the expanded form offers generous living or workspace without sacrificing mobility.
Our units come ready for full utility connections to ensure comfortable living or working environments:
Utilities are integrated discreetly within the walls and floors, allowing for quick hookups on site without complex modifications.
This thoughtful design and construction process makes the mobile expandable container house a versatile, durable, and comfortable solution suitable for a variety of uses—from remote workspaces to emergency housing.
Our Mobile Expandable Container House is designed for easy transport using standard truck and trailer setups common across the U.S. This means it fits well within legal road size limits when collapsed, making it compatible with most freight and moving services. Whether you’re shipping locally or across states, the unit can be securely loaded and moved with minimal hassle.
One of the biggest advantages is how quickly you can set up. The expansion process typically takes 1 to 2 hours with just 2 people, thanks to intuitive sliding, folding, or telescoping mechanisms. No heavy machinery or specialized tools are needed, making it practical even for remote locations. This rapid deployment means you can use the space sooner without long downtime.
Most installations don’t require a permanent foundation. The container house can sit on basic supports like concrete blocks or adjustable piers, which speeds up setup and reduces site prep costs. It adapts well to different terrains – from flat urban lots to uneven rural grounds – thanks to its lightweight, rigid frame and adjustable base.
These homes are designed to be moved repeatedly without structural damage. When relocation is needed, simply collapse the expandable sections and load the unit onto a truck or trailer. The straightforward design allows for quick disassembly, transport, and reassembly, making it perfect for dynamic uses like disaster relief, remote offices, or seasonal housing.
By combining portability, ease of setup, and site flexibility, our mobile expandable container house offers unmatched convenience for those needing a versatile, transportable living or working space.
