What are the precautions for purchasing special container modular houses?

Container modular house is a new type of house. It is small in size but has a long service life and is cheap. It is suitable for scenic spots and large construction sites. At present, the technological investment in container modular houses is gradually increasing, so the living experience is getting better and better. It can meet all the requirements of living. So what are the precautions when purchasing container modular houses?   First, pay attention to whether the weak current lines are complete and safe. When purchasing a container modular house with quality assurance, pay attention to the weak current lines. Because the container is small in area and the weak current lines are relatively concentrated, the scientific design of the weak current lines should be considered first, and at the same time, pay attention to whether its lines are complete. In order to better meet the needs of living, network cables, electrical wires and socket cables should be reserved in advance.   Second, pay attention to the load-bearing capacity of the ground material. Since there is no load-bearing wall support in the middle of the most commonly used container modular house, all its load-bearing capacity depends on the ground, which requires the ground material to have strong compression resistance and large load-bearing capacity. In order to have a better living experience, you can choose solid wood or PVC flooring for a better foot feel.   Third, pay attention to whether the overall thermal insulation meets the requirements. Due to the spatial structure of the container module room, air conditioning temperature control methods are often used for cooling and body temperature, which requires the container module room to have good thermal insulation properties. Therefore, when purchasing, you must pay attention to whether the sealing of the container module room is intact and whether the overall thermal insulation can meet the requirements. Generally speaking, EPS foam board should be used for insulation inside.   Fourth, pay attention to whether the outdoor spray paint material is anti-corrosion. In order to better ensure the external gloss of the container module room and prevent the external paint from cracking due to excessive ultraviolet rays, which affects the appearance, when choosing, you should focus on whether the outdoor spray paint can have anti-corrosion effects and whether it has anti-ultraviolet effects. Generally, ordinary paint is not used on the exterior of the container, and special paint is often used.

What is a special container?

Special containers are boxes that do not follow international container standards and whose size is determined according to their purpose. 1: For example, some equipment boxes, engineering boxes, boxes for oil platforms, fire boxes, house boxes, advertising boxes, etc., it can be said that special containers have all shapes and sizes. There are many kinds of products that containers can be used to transport, 2: It can transport almost all solid substances, powdered and liquid substances are not suitable for it to transport, and the others are fine. First of all, most mechanical equipment is suitable for transportation using special containers. Now 3: Mechanical equipment is nothing more than rectangular or square, and it is composed of many parts, so we can use special containers for transportation. We need to measure their sizes accurately, and then produce special containers according to the sizes. In this way, it is more suitable for the transportation of such mechanical equipment. In fact, the items we transport can be transported as long as they do not exceed the carrying capacity of the container.   In the transportation industry, there is a difference between special containers and containers. Ordinary containers are produced in accordance with relevant international standards. Their dimensions and other parameters are fixed. If they do not meet the specified standards, they cannot enter the market. Once they enter the market and are found to be unqualified, the company will be closed and face severe penalties. Special containers do not have so many requirements and restrictions. They can be of various styles. In most cases, they are customized according to customer requirements. We produce what kind of products customers need. Although special containers can be customized and the size is not very fixed, most of them are square or rectangular. We cannot customize products according to the size of a certain item. Instead, we must consider the overall situation. Only when it is suitable for transporting most items can it be truly suitable for our products.   The manufacture of special containers is entirely based on the purpose of the product and the specific needs of the customer. For example, for equipment equipped with air compressors, the container designers must first make it according to the characteristics of the equipment. At this time, the customer needs to provide some necessary technical parameters. For example, the size of the equipment, the load-bearing requirements of the box, and whether the equipment needs to be cooled in time. Then the technicians will make a design based on these parameters. This begins to involve the requirements for the bottom plate of the box, how the box exhausts and dissipates heat, and so on. In fact, only the customers themselves know the most about the equipment, so we still hope that customers can provide us with a general design plan, and the details will be completed by the designers.
