Why 700mm Folded Design Matters

The 700mm folded configuration is designed to maximize transport efficiency without sacrificing usable space after deployment. With a compact folded width of just 700mm, up to six units can be loaded into a single 40HQ container, significantly reducing logistics cost per unit and making large-scale delivery far more practical.

Once on site, the unit can be unfolded from both sides and fixed using sealing strips and bolts provided by ReachTop. The entire setup process can be completed within one hour, transforming the structure into a full-size workspace or living unit without the need for specialized installation teams.

Compared to traditional flat pack or detachable container houses, the 700mm expandable system requires a slightly higher upfront cost, but delivers clear advantages in speed, structural integrity, and usable space. Achieving a similar internal area with conventional systems typically involves more complex assembly and longer installation time, often requiring skilled labor.

In bulk deployment scenarios, where transport efficiency, installation speed, and site readiness directly affect project timelines, the 700mm design offers a measurable performance advantage over standard expandable configurations.

Technical Overview & Efficiency Comparison

The key difference between the 700mm folded design and standard expandable units lies in delivery efficiency and project scalability. While standard models offer slightly larger expanded width, the 700mm configuration significantly reduces transport cost and simplifies deployment, making it a more practical choice for bulk projects and time-sensitive applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How long does it take to install a 700mm expandable container?

The unit can be fully deployed within approximately one hour.
It only requires opening both sides and fixing them with sealing strips and bolts provided by ReachTop, without the need for specialized installation teams.

No. The structure uses a galvanized steel frame and follows the same engineering standards as larger expandable units.
The compact folded width affects transport efficiency, not structural strength or long-term performance.

It is especially suitable for bulk delivery projects such as worker camps, temporary offices, emergency housing, and site facilities where transport efficiency and fast deployment are critical.

Yes. Layout, doors, windows, exterior finish, and internal systems can all be customized.
Most clients typically adjust facade color, door position, and window configuration based on project needs.

Yes. Water and electrical systems can be pre-installed in the factory according to local standards of the destination country, reducing on-site work.

The higher cost mainly comes from the folding mechanism and structural system that enables ultra-compact transport.
However, this is often offset by significantly lower shipping costs and reduced installation time, especially in large-scale projects.
