Nowadays, integrated houses are indispensable for temporary accommodation and office use in fields such as construction, highways, and commerce. Currently, the two most commonly used types on the market are foldable container houses and regular container houses. Both are for residential use, what is the difference between the two?

Difference 1: Transportation cost

Folding container houses and ordinary container houses are widely used in various fields as temporary or fixed houses, and their difference lies in transportation. When unfolded, the folding container house looks about the same size as a regular container house, with a height of around 2.5-2.8m. However, it can be folded repeatedly, and the height after folding will not exceed 45cm. Using a 17,5-meter truck, one can transport about 16 items, which can save users a considerable amount of cost. However, ordinary container houses require the entire container to be transported, and the number of vehicles transported by the same model is much smaller, and the loading and unloading time is also longer, so the shipping cost is also higher. In addition, the probability of cargo damage during transportation is also higher for ordinary container houses.

Difference 2: Transfer Time

When transferring the folding container room to the next project, it is necessary to tidy up the luggage in advance, maintain good hygiene, and then fold it before transferring. Ordinary container houses can be used for short distance full container handling without the need to clean luggage, and can be moved together with the boxes.

Difference Three: Storage Time and Space

Both types of container houses have a long service life and can be recycled. When not in use, the folding container room can be disassembled and assembled quickly. Two people can disassemble and assemble one container in just a few minutes, and 8 containers can be stacked in the same space, saving space. However, the materials for ordinary container houses are assembled, which takes longer to disassemble and requires more space for storage.
