Sustainable development and environmental protection

Retrofitting abandoned containers can reduce resource waste and environmental pollution.By utilizing the abandoned containers,the consumption of new construction materials can be reduced,and the generation of construction waste can also be reduced.In addition,live-in containers can be combined with renewable energy facilities,such as solar and wind power,to realize the use of green energy.

Rapid construction and easy relocation

Retrofitting a live-in container is usually quicker and easier than traditional construction.The short construction period required for remodeling saves a lot of time compared to traditional buildings.At the same time,a shipping container is very mobile and can be moved and relocated at any time.This makes it ideal for people who need to move frequently or have temporary housing needs.

Relatively low cost

Remodeling containers is less costly compared to traditional construction.The containers themselves are less expensive and require less material and labor costs for remodeling.

Categorization of live-in containers

The remodeling of live-in containers is highly flexible as it can be customized in various ways according to individual needs and creativity.According to the material,they can be categorized into packing boxes,quick assembly boxes,folding boxes,fixed boxes and corrugated boxes.(The dimensions below are all based on our group's regular product parameters as a reference,and can be individually customized if required)

Packing box

The top and bottom structure of the packing box are welded in the factory,the site only needs to install the column and wall structure,the circuit has been pre-buried,the site only needs to be connected to the plug,the factory comes with a drainage system,the use of a more secure and safe.
