Detachable Container House
Engineered for Global Efficiency: Save 80% on Shipping with 17 Units per 40ft HQ Container.
Standard units start from $1,300. Contact us for bulk order discounts.
What is a Detachable Container House?
The Most Efficient "Bolt-Together" Modular System
A Detachable Container House is a 100% modular, "knock-down" building system designed to solve the two biggest headaches in prefab construction: high shipping costs and difficult site access.
Unlike standard fixed containers, every component—from the high-tensile steel frame to the insulated panels—is manufactured independently.
- Precision Engineering: Every beam, column, and panel is pre-drilled and finished in our factory for a perfect fit.
- Zero-Welding Assembly: The entire structure is secured using high-strength bolts. It’s like a "Lego" for engineers—no welding, no cutting, and zero construction waste.
- Maximum Mobility: Shipped as a flat bundle, it can reach remote mountain mines or dense urban sites where pre-assembled units simply cannot go.
Why Choose Our Detachable Container House?
Strategic Advantages for Large-Scale Global Projects
1. Maximum Logistics Savings (17 Units per 40HQ)
Our detachable container house is delivered in a fully disassembled structure, with columns, beams, and panels packed separately. This allows up to 17 units to be loaded into one container, significantly reducing international shipping costs for large-scale projects.
2. Efficient On-Site Assembly (Zero Welding)
Designed for speed, our 100% bolt-connection system ensures a fast and clean installation. A small local team can master the assembly in just 3 hours, requiring no specialized welders or heavy machinery.
3. Flexible Modular Layout Design
This type of modular container building can be configured as single units or combined into larger layouts, including offices, worker dormitories, and construction site camps. Multi-room and multi-story designs are also supported.
4. Strong and Durable Steel Structure
Each detachable container house is built with a galvanized steel structure and insulated wall panels, ensuring durability, corrosion resistance, and stable performance under different environmental conditions.
5. 100% Relocatable and Reusable
Protect your investment. Our "Knock-down" design allows the house to be dismantled and reassembled in different locations multiple times without losing structural integrity—a sustainable asset for mobile projects.
6. Custom Solutions for Different Projects
We provide customized designs based on project requirements, including layout planning, material options, and functional configurations, suitable for construction sites, modular offices, and temporary housing worldwide.

Structural & Material Highlights

Steel Structure System
Our detachable container house is built with Q235B galvanized steel, ensuring strong structural stability and reliable load-bearing capacity for various project applications.
- Frame Thickness: 2.1mm – 3.0mm
- Structure Type: Fully detachable steel frame
- Designed for repeated assembly and long-term use
Surface Protection
All steel components are treated with a dual-layer protection system:
- Galvanization for base anti-corrosion
- Electrostatic powder coating (60–80μm)
This ensures excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, making the structure suitable for coastal areas and high-humidity environments.
Insulation System Options
We provide multiple insulation materials to meet different climate and safety requirements:
Rock Wool Panel
- Class A non-combustible material
- Ideal for high-safety environments such as oil & gas camps
EPS (Polystyrene) Panel
- Cost-effective solution
- Suitable for moderate climates with good moisture resistance
PU (Polyurethane) Panel
- High thermal insulation performance (high R-value)
- Suitable for extreme cold or high-temperature regions
Integrated Drainage Design
Our modular container building features an advanced internal drainage system:
- Built-in water gutter system
- Hidden downspouts integrated into corner columns
- Fully enclosed drainage structure
This design ensures efficient water flow and provides reliable waterproof performance, even during heavy rainfall.
Optimized Layouts & Application Scenarios

Standard Accommodation (18m²): Ideal for worker dormitories and site security.
Combined Open Offices: Large-span collaborative spaces with glass curtain walls.
Multi-Story Complexes: Stackable up to 3 floors to maximize capacity on limited land.
