Single-side Expandable Container House
Single vs Double Expandable Container House
Single-side expandable containers are 2050mm narrower than standard double-side expandable models. They feature a smaller footprint and greater flexibility, with full support for custom sizing in any dimension.
Standard expandable units fold inward on both sides for transit, with their overall folded width strictly confined to the internal dimensions of standard shipping containers. For this reason, single-side expandable houses maintain the exact same transportation efficiency.
| Feature | Single-Side Expandable | Double-Side Expandable |
|---|---|---|
| Expanded Width | 4250 mm | 6300 mm |
| Space | Practical, sufficient | Maximum, spacious |
| Structure | One-side expansion, simpler | Two-side expansion, more complex |
| Cost | Lower | Higher |
| Installation | Faster, fewer steps | Slightly more work |
| Application | Standard housing, office, guard room | Living house, Airbnb, family use |
* The single-side expandable container is only 2050mm narrower than a normal expandable container house.
