Folding Container House Custom OEM Z Type Steel Structure

Panel Size, Frame Weight and Wind Rating

A z type folding container house is a welded steel structure, and every member is sized for the load it carries. Along the hinge, the folding post runs 160 mm deep. Corner columns run the same 160 mm, so the wall panels and the posts share one flat plane. Packed, the unit weighs about 1,100 kg and lifts on the corner castings.

Section Sizes Through the Steel Structure

Crossbeams run 80 mm deep under both the roof and the floor, welded in between the posts. Every section in the steel structure folding container house carries a 1.5 mm wall, which keeps the mass down without losing any stiffness. A 6 mm base plate spreads post load into the sill at each foot. Hinges are stainless and 3 mm thick, so they take the wear of every fold.

Steel sections by member
· Folding post, 160 mm deep at the hinge
· Sill beam taking the floor load
· Top crossbeam over a short span
· Secondary beam inside the roof void
· Main beam, upper and lower runs

Wall Core, Roof Sheet and Floor Edge

Wall panels carry a 0.45 mm steel face on a foam core, cut to the opening schedule on the line. Over the panels, a tile profile roof sheet at the same gauge sits on purlins set 1 m apart. Floor edges take a folded trim, so water cannot reach the board core. Joints close on a stepped groove. Tape goes over them before packing.

Skin and trim parts
· Steel face at 0.45 mm on the panel
· Tile profile roof sheet at the same gauge
· Folded floor edge trim
· Ridge cap and gasket strip

Circuit Layout, Breakers and Cable Size

Circuits in a z type folding container house split at a small distribution box, one breaker for lighting and a second for the socket ring. Cable runs inside the wall cavity. Nothing shows on the finished face, and voltage and plug type follow the country the unit is bound for.

Circuit parts
· Distribution box with breaker ways
· Leakage trip on the socket ring
· Cable coil cut to the schedule
· Earth bar and bonding clamp Nothing shows on the finished face, and the cable runs inside the wall cavity where a drill cannot reach it. Voltage and plug type follow the country the unit is bound for, so the board is set once and left alone.

Folding Sequence and Pin Fixings at Site

Two people walk the walls up on the hinge and drive the corner pins. One diagonal brace is bolted on for the lift, and it stays on the gable afterwards. Roof cams close along the edge. End panels drop in behind them, and hand tools cover the job with no welding and no concrete pour.

Pins and hand tools
· Hinge pin and a brass drift
· Corner casting sling points
· Diagonal brace and its bolts
· Spirit level for the pad

Cold Climate Sites and Coastal Camps

Cold upland sites and coastal camps share one frame. Wind loading is rated at 120 km/h for open ground, and any clinic, canteen or site office takes a partition set inside the same shell. The z type folding container house can be lifted by crane onto a prepared pad.
