X-Type Folding Container House

The X-Type folding container house, when viewed from the side, folds and unfolds like the letter “X”. It is a prefabricated housing module pre-installed with doors, windows, flooring, and lighting at the factory. It is commonly used as construction site dormitories, temporary schools, and temporary housing. It offers extremely low transportation costs and can be reused multiple times. Its comfort level is comparable to concrete houses, and it can also serve as permanent housing.
Wanzhi Steel is a professional manufacturer and supplier of collapsible container houses. Our foldable container homes can be fully unfolded and secured in just 10 minutes without the need for bolts. The product supports comprehensive customization from inside to outside, including dimensions, layout, and appearance.

Production & Quality Control
We first weld galvanized steel strips into galvanized square tubes, then cut and weld the square tubes into the X-Type folding frame.
For critical components such as the folding supports and locking mechanisms, we ensure smooth opening and folding while maintaining strength that meets safety standards.
We then install the metal sandwich wall panels (available in white, wood grain, gray, camouflage, etc.), lay the electrical wiring, install the flooring, ceiling structure, and doors and windows.
Waterproof sealing is applied to all gaps. Finally, we conduct folding function testing to check whether folding and unfolding are smooth and safe, and whether any sticking or jamming occurs.


Factory Inspection
- Structural strength test: Checks wind resistance and seismic performance
- Water spray test: Verifies waterproofing performance
- Sealing inspection: Checks reserved water and electrical interfaces
- Folding mechanism reliability test
- Appearance inspection: Confirms no obvious scratches and complete paint finish
After passing inspection, the unit is wrapped in plastic film and arranged for factory dispatch and export.


Delivery Standards
- Packaging: Wrapped with waterproof film after folding
- Accessories: Standard configuration includes mounting bolts and sealing strips. Ready for installation upon arrival.
- Certification: CE, ISO, and other international certifications available upon request, meeting overseas customs clearance and project acceptance requirements.
