20ft 700mm Expandable Container House

A logistics-led 20ft model that folds to 700 mm wide, with a 27.5 m² listed footprint and a six-unit-per-40HQ loading reference.

Transport-density model

700 mm folded width, six units per 40HQ

This model is defined by its narrow folded form: 5,900 × 700 × 2,480 mm. It opens to 4,800 mm wide and provides a listed 27.5 m² footprint while retaining the 20ft-length main body.

The loading reference is six folded units per 40 ft high-cube container, compared with two for the standard-width 20ft model. Select it when the documented packing format is the priority, then confirm whether its smaller expanded footprint suits the required interior plan.

700 mm model questions

Check the logistics trade-off

Why choose this model instead of the standard-width 20ft unit?

The principal difference is transport format. This model folds to 700 mm and has a six-unit-per-40HQ reference, while the standard 20ft model folds to 2,200 mm and lists two units per 40HQ.

Does the narrower folded width reduce the expanded floor area?

Yes. The 700 mm model opens to 4,800 mm wide with a listed 27.5 m² footprint. The standard 20ft model opens to 6,300 mm wide with a listed 37 m² footprint.

What should be confirmed before freight is priced?

Confirm the selected fit-out, packed weight, accessories, final unit quantity, destination and container arrangement. The six-unit figure is a reference for the standard listed configuration.
