EXH10 Expandable Container House

A modular house that is transported folded (about 2.2 m wide) and expands sideways on site to a width of up to 6.3 m — suitable for homes, showrooms, shops and hotels. Five models: EXH700, EXH10, EXH20, EXH30 and EXH40, with expanded outside dimensions of approximately 5.9 × 4.8 m, 2.95 × 6.3 m, 5.9 × 6.3 m, 9 × 6.3 m and 11.8 × 6.3 m. The 20 ft and 30 ft models take 1–3 bedrooms and the 40 ft takes 1–5 bedrooms, all including a living area and bathroom. Reference loads per 40HQ: 6 × EXH700, 4 × EXH10, 2 × EXH20, 1 × EXH30, 1 × EXH40 — options such as doors, glazing, cladding and terraces change the packing, so confirm freight against the final configuration.

Standard: galvanised steel frame, 50 mm EPS roof panel, 75 mm EPS exterior wall panels, 50 mm EPS partition panels, aluminium sliding windows, thermal-break aluminium entry door, dry/wet separated bathroom, steel bedroom doors, 220 V/50 Hz electrics (lighting, sockets, air-conditioner socket, RCD) and an L-shaped kitchen cabinet. Insulation is EPS as standard; mineral wool and polyurethane cores are also available — specify both the core material and the panel thickness. Optional: upgraded cabinets, windows and doors, exterior cladding, wood-grain or UV-coated wall panels, flooring, pitched roof and balcony.

Within the chosen size and folding structure you can change the number of bedrooms, whether the kitchen is open or separate, how the bathroom is used, storage, furniture, and door and window positions and quantities. Bathroom upgrades include a dry/wet separated shower, marble flooring and a premium shower. Exterior options include engraved metal panels, glass curtain walls, pitched or flat roofs, terraces and canopies, and underfloor heating is available for cold regions. The central structure and folding sections determine where partitions, openings and services can run; unusual layouts are adapted to the folding mechanism.

Yes. Australian, European, American, British, Italian, Indonesian and other standards can be configured. Please provide the destination country, voltage, frequency, plug type and high-load appliances such as air conditioners and water heaters. Local connection and earthing must be carried out by a licensed electrician; component selection does not replace the local electrical approvals a building requires.

Yes — units can be joined and stacking is possible up to 2 storeys, for two-storey apartments, offices or commercial space. The foundation, frame connections between units, internal openings, stairs and railings, roof and joint waterproofing, and services must all be designed together. A single-unit installation drawing is not enough for a joined or two-storey building; confirm the full layout and number of storeys before production, and local structural and building approvals may be required.

It travels folded. On arrival it is unloaded onto prepared support points with a crane, expanded to both sides, the frame fixed, edges trimmed and joints sealed, then water and power connected and doors, windows, pipework and electrics checked. Installation is simple: two to three workers complete a standard unit in about 1–2 hours, and a detailed installation manual and videos guide each step. Make sure the foundation is level, tighten all bolts and nuts, and avoid scratching the surfaces during installation.

Complete a level foundation or support points, make sure trucks and unloading equipment can reach the installation area, leave unloading space and working space on both sides, reserve water and power connections according to the project drawings, and clear landscaping, stored materials and buried services from the expansion area. Foundation loads and anchoring must follow the chosen model and site design. For storage between uses, keep the unit on level, dry ground out of prolonged extreme weather.

15–20 years under normal use and maintenance. Wind resistance is typhoon category 12 (wind speed 32.7–41.4 m/s) and seismic resistance reaches intensity 9. Check bolt tightness regularly, clean the surfaces, and service the hydraulic rods and seals according to how often the unit is used to keep it in good condition.
