Waist-Fold Container House
Side walls fold inward at a mid-height hinge line into a 320 mm transport profile — a 900 kg folding unit built for volume shipping and straightforward site deployment.
Waist-Fold Container House
The Waist-Fold Container House is a lightweight folding unit built around a mid-height hinge line: each side wall splits into upper and lower panels that fold inward over each other, reducing the unit to a 320 mm transport profile. The galvanized Q235 steel frame, 50 mm flame-retardant sandwich walls and magnesium oxide floor arrive factory-finished, so the unit opens into an enclosed room ready for connection. With a 900 kg gross weight it keeps handling and freight simple — loading quantity is confirmed per order.

Common
Questions.
How does the waist-fold mechanism work?
Each side wall is manufactured in two sections joined at mid-height by high-strength galvanized hinges. For transport, the upper and lower sections fold inward and stack; on site they swing back out to form a continuous full-height wall — no separate wall panels to lift and install.
How many units fit in a container?
Loading quantity is confirmed per order. The folded pack measures 5800 × 2470 × 320 mm and each unit weighs 900 kg gross; send your destination port and unit count and we confirm the container plan in your quotation.
What is the structure rated for?
Roof load 1.0 kN/m², floor load 4.2 kN/m² and wall side pressure 0.5 kN/m², with Class A fire performance, seismic resistance to intensity 8, wind resistance Grade 10 and a 10-year design service life per the specification sheet.
Can the electrical system match my market?
The standard package includes a 40 A circuit breaker, LED lighting and moisture-specified copper wiring; EU, US, UK, AU and other project-specific electrical standards can be configured before production.
What warranty do you provide?
Warranty terms are specified in every quotation and contract, and the documentation ships with each order, so coverage matches the configuration you purchase.
