At Wankang, we produce Expandable Container Houses for temporary and semi-permanent accommodation. The product shown is the Fast LCL, a foldable prefab home that opens from a compact shipping unit into a room. It is available in a 20FT size with about 39 m² and a 40FT size with about 77 m². The house is used for worker camps, site offices, temporary housing and remote projects. It is part of our container house range, which also includes expansion boxes and prefabricated houses.

A Foldable Container House

The Fast LCL is built as a foldable unit. The walls and the roof fold into the base for transport, and the unit opens on site. A small team can finish the installation in about 15 minutes with the right lifting equipment. The uniform size makes it easy to combine several units into a larger structure. The buyer should confirm the site access, the crane or forklift, and the foundation before the delivery.

The 20FT unit opens to 5900 × 6540 × 2530 mm, and the 40FT unit opens to 11800 × 6540 × 2530 mm. The open size gives a wide room with a clear height of about 2.5 m. The buyer should check the internal layout, the door and window positions, and the partition plan. A unit that is too large for the site can be difficult to place.

Structure and Insulation

The frame is galvanized and fully welded, with a powder-coated surface. The roof and the side walls use a 75 mm fireproof flame-retardant EPS insulation sandwich panel, and the internal partition uses a 50 mm panel. The floor is a 2 mm PVC floor leather over an 18 mm glass magnesium board. This build gives a warm, clean interior and a structure that can be stacked with the right corner supports.

The doors are thermal-break aluminum double doors, a wooden bedroom door or a metal door. The windows use double-layer tempered glass in a broken-bridge aluminum casement frame. The circuit can be made to local certification such as SAA or CE. The buyer should confirm the climate, the snow and wind load, and the electrical standard for the destination country.

Transport, Foundation and Assembly

A 40-foot high-cube container can carry two expandable houses. The units can move by sea, rail or truck. The folded size and the weight should be checked against the shipping plan. The 20FT unit weighs about 3.5 tons and the 40FT about 7 tons. The buyer should confirm the lifting points and the packing for the sea voyage. A lifting plan should be agreed with the site team before the unit arrives.

The foundation can be simple because the strong corners carry the load. A level concrete pad, a steel base or a compacted gravel pad can be used, depending on the site. The unit should be anchored for the local wind load. The drain, the water inlet and the power connection should be planned before the unit is set. A simple drainage channel helps keep the floor dry in the rainy season.

Ordering and Project Support

For a quotation, the buyer should provide the size, the layout, the insulation, the door and window type, the electrical standard and the quantity. A drawing helps us confirm the configuration. A sample or a factory visit can be arranged for a project. A layout drawing with the furniture positions helps the factory prepare the unit.

Wankang supplies prefabricated houses, container houses, expansion boxes, foldable boxes and Apple warehouses. The Fast LCL can be combined with a site office, a dormitory or a canteen unit for a complete camp. The buyer should confirm the site plan and the delivery schedule.
