Differences Between Collapsible Container Houses and Mobile Prefab Houses

Collapsible container houses and mobile prefab houses are new concepts in environmentally-friendly economic mobile homes used frequently in construction sites, medical quarantine areas, scenic spots, and other fields. They are sturdy, durable, quick to install, and easy to disassemble. This article will introduce the differences between collapsible container houses and mobile prefab houses from four aspects: performance, construction, service life, and storage.

Collapsible Container Houses and Mobile Prefab Houses Performance Differences

Collapsible container houses are highly mobile, ready to use upon unfolding, can be repeatedly folded, are not easily deformed, do not take up much space, are easy to transport, quick to install, take up little storage space, and have a stylish appearance. They come with built-in doors, windows, and electrification systems that can be folded with the house. They withstand winds up to level 8, earthquakes up to level 8, and are windproof and waterproof. Mobile prefab houses have reliable structures, are easy to assemble and disassemble, have attractive decoration, flexible layout, waterproof structure, and come in various specifications, though their wind and earthquake resistance is slightly inferior.

Differences in Construction Between Collapsible Container Houses and Mobile Prefab Houses

Collapsible container houses use truck-mounted cranes, allowing fast installation with three people installing 800 square meters in one day, operations are not limited by the environment, and construction can proceed even in the rain. The foundation requirements are simple, as long as it is flat. Mobile prefab houses require more materials, have a slower installation speed with four people installing 150 square meters in one day, construction is highly affected by the environment, and a foundation must be cast.

Differences in Service Life Between Collapsible Container Houses and Mobile Prefab Houses

Collapsible container houses have a service life of more than 10 years, can be used for 5 cycles on projects, have a high reuse rate, are easy to fold, and more durable. Mobile prefab houses have a service life of about 6 years, with significant loss during assembly and disassembly, can be used for 3 cycles, and have a low reuse rate.

Differences in Storage Between Collapsible Container Houses and Mobile Prefab Houses

Collapsible container houses can be stored outdoors, with a folded height of only 45 cm, and 18 square meters can hold more than 15 units, making it convenient for inventory management. Mobile prefab houses need to be stored in a warehouse as they easily rust and get damaged outdoors; they have more materials, making inventory work complex.

In summary, collapsible container houses and mobile prefab houses differ significantly in performance, construction, service life, and storage.
