Key features
Floor area doubles on site
Side wings unfold on hinges to add roughly 140% floor area to the same transport footprint.
Interior fitted in the factory
Kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and electrics are completed and tested before the unit is packed.
One container slot per unit
Ships closed at 2.44 m wide, so freight is charged as a standard 20ft or 40ft container.
Commissioned in a day
Crane the unit, unfold the wings, connect water and power — usable the same day.
Metal carved panel facade
Embossed decorative panels on both wings — the finish buyers ask for on show units and site offices.
60 m² from one container slot
Both long walls unfold to give a three-room layout: living, kitchen and bedroom.
Overview
The double wing model is the answer when floor area matters but transport cost does not allow oversized loads. It travels at standard container width, then both long-side wings unfold on site — hydraulically or manually depending on the configuration ordered.
The unit shown here uses metal carved panels, which gives the facade a decorative finish suitable for villas, sales offices and upmarket site accommodation.

How Much Does a 20ft Expandable Container House Cost?
