Container Homes on Wheels for Sale

These units combine ISO‑standard container modules with a purpose‑built chassis to create transportable, habitable structures. The design focuses on structural integrity under road loads, thermal performance for varied climates, and rapid deployment without permanent foundations. Buyers receive a fully enclosed, weather‑tight shell that can be relocated as operational needs change.

Structural Framework

The primary frame uses ASTM A36 hot‑rolled steel C‑channels with a nominal thickness of 6 mm for the main longitudinal members and 8 mm for cross‑members. Corner posts are reinforced with 10 mm gusset plates to resist racking forces during transit. All welds are continuous fillet welds inspected via magnetic particle testing to meet AWS D1.1 standards.

Mobility System

Each unit is mounted on a tandem axle configuration rated for 20 kN per axle, featuring leaf‑spring suspension with shock absorbers to limit vertical acceleration to <0.5 g on rough surfaces. Dual‑circular air‑brake systems provide a stopping distance of ≤25 m from 30 km/h on dry asphalt. Wheel rims are 22.5 inch steel with 10‑bolt hub patterns compatible with standard tire sizes 295/80R22.5.

Envelope and Insulation Performance

Wall panels consist of 50 mm thick polyurethane foam core sandwiched between 0.8 mm pre‑painted steel skins, delivering an overall thermal resistance (R‑value) of approximately 4.0 m²·K/W. Roof panels use the same core with an additional 0.5 mm weather‑proof membrane, achieving a water‑resistance rating of 1500 mm hydrostatic head. Joints are sealed with EPDM gaskets and silicone sealant to achieve air leakage <0.5 L/(s·m²) at 75 Pa pressure.

Interior Layout and Customization

The interior volume of a 20‑foot module is approximately 28 m³, allowing for flexible partitioning using demountable aluminum studs and 12 mm fire‑rated gypsum board. Electrical conduits are pre‑routed in 20 mm PVC trunking with capacity for 32 A three‑phase service. Plumbing provisions include ½‑inch PEX lines for hot and cold water, routed to a central wet wall that can accommodate a shower, toilet, and sink.

• Optional mezzanine floor adding 4 m² usable space with 250 kg/m² live load capacity.
• HVAC packages ranging from 2.5 kW split‑system to 5 kW packaged rooftop unit.
• Exterior finishes available in corrugated steel, aluminum composite panels, or fiber‑cement boards.

Typical Applications

These mobile containers serve sectors where rapid, relocatable housing is critical, such as disaster‑response camps where units must be deployed within 72 hours and withstand wind speeds up to 150 km/h. In remote resource extraction, they provide climate‑controlled accommodation for crews, reducing reliance on permanent site infrastructure and allowing relocation as mining fronts advance. Pop‑up retail and event operators benefit from the ability to transport a fully finished showroom or hospitality suite to multiple venues without reinstallation of interior finishes.

Quality Assurance and Testing

Each chassis undergoes a static load test where 1.5× the rated axle load is applied for 5 minutes, with deflection measured at midspan to ensure it remains below 2 mm. Wall panels are subjected to a spray rack test per ASTM E331, verifying no water ingress at a pressure differential of 300 Pa. Electrical continuity and insulation resistance are checked with a 500 V megohmmeter, requiring values >1 MΩ. Final inspection includes a functional walk‑through to confirm door operation, window sealing, and utility connections before release.
