Description

Side Pull Expandable Container House — 37㎡ Factory-Finished Modular Unit
Hebei Tianyu Guangbo Integrated Housing Co., Ltd. has been manufacturing modular housing for over ten years. Each side pull expandable container house ships in a closed profile of L2260×W5900×H2550mm and opens on site to L6420×W5900×H2550mm, giving you 37㎡ of finished interior space. The company operates a 30,000+ m² factory, produces 3,000+ units annually, and exports to more than 50 markets — serving real-estate developers, site contractors, traders, and end-users.
How the Side Pull Mechanism Works
The side section slides outward along fixed rails. Two workers pull it out, level it, and lock it in place — no crane and no welding required. Once locked, the expanded joint seals against the main body to keep the interior dry and protected from wind.
When you need to move, the section pulls back to its closed shape, the unit is loaded back onto a truck, and the process starts all over again. The mechanism is made so that it can go through many cycles of stretching and pulling without damaging the seal or the structural connection.

Key Features
Compact Shipping, Full-Size Living
When the lid is closed, two units can fit inside a 40HQ container. This makes shipping cheaper per unit than sending a building that has already been expanded. On-site, the same 2260mm-wide profile can be turned into a 37 house without needing a bigger plot of land or a bigger container.
Insulation and Glazing
75 mm EPS panels are used for the outside walls, while 50 mm EPS panels are used for the inside walls and the roof. Seven double-glazed aluminum-framed sliding windows (930x1100 mm) let in natural light and air flow. You can get 75 mm or 100 mm PU (polyurethane) panels with Low-E double glazing for projects that will be used in places below -40°C.
Dual Roofing Configuration
The middle roof section uses a 1.5 mm galvanized steel panel. The bilateral sections — which sit at the expansion joint areas and take greater exposure — use a 1.8 mm fiberglass-reinforced waterproof board. All four corners use cast-iron container corner fittings to prevent deformation during transport and repeated relocation.
Factory-Finished Interior
Flooring, plumbing, electrical wiring, cabinetry, bathroom fixtures, and finishes are all completed under factory conditions before the unit ships. Electrical systems are wired to AU/CE/US standards and tested for continuity and ground fault protection before dispatch.

Where This Unit Is Used
Construction and Mining Camps
The unit does not require a prepared concrete foundation. Hardened flat ground or adjustable steel piles across 6–8 load-bearing points is sufficient. When the project ends, demobilization is straightforward and the entire unit can be recovered and redeployed.
Emergency and Transitional Housing
The close-truck-open cycle suits post-disaster response or NGO field operations where infrastructure is limited and deployment speed is a priority.
Residential ADU and Eco-Tourism
A factory-finished side pull expandable container house reduces on-site labor substantially. For property developers or individuals adding a secondary dwelling, this lowers both construction time and coordination costs compared to a conventional build.

Customization
Tianyu Guangbo supports OEM/ODM orders. The following elements can be specified per project:
- Layout: room partition configuration
- Cladding: external finish material and texture
- Roof: material and color
- Colors: frame, wall, and window frame
- Glass: standard double-glazed or upgraded Low-E
- Kitchen and cabinetry: size, layout, finish
The process runs from sketch to final confirmation before production begins. Standard production lead time is 4–5 weeks depending on order volume.
Quality and Certifications for side pull expandable container house
The factory covers 30,000+ m² and is equipped with CNC forming machines, CNC bending machines, and two automated production lines. Products are manufactured in compliance with AU/NZS, ASTM, and ISO standards. SGS inspection is available. Every unit is assembled as a side pull expandable container house and inspected before leaving the factory.
