General analysis of the development of container mobile house industry

Compared with traditional fixed houses, mobile houses do not reduce the loss of materials when relocating. Another house can be built in a different place with the same materials. It is often used as a temporary residential house in a short period of time. Let's talk about the development history of mobile homes. The very primitive mobile home should have been left by the ancestors. It was erected with wood, and then covered with straw, corn stalks, and plastic sheeting. This kind of house was often seen 20 years ago. Some vegetable farmers would build such a house when they were looking at the vegetables in the field. After watching the dishes, they will be dismantled and rebuilt the next year. Later, on construction sites, tents appeared. This kind of tent has steel pipes welded into scattered components. During installation, a frame of a house can be erected, and then the outer periphery is surrounded by a rainproof tarp. This kind of house The characteristic is that the relocation is easy, without any loss. The disadvantage is that the warmth is not good and can be used in summer, but in the cold winter, this kind of tent is not suitable. With the advancement of society, people invented cement board mobile homes. This kind of material uses a magnesite board with a thickness of about four or five centimeters. It is also made of steel bars to make a skeleton for support inside, and connect parts such as screws. Connecting each board together, this kind of house feels a bit of a fixed house, but it looks a little thin and not very strong from the outside. The advantage is that after disassembly, it can be reassembled in a different place. The disadvantage is that houses built with magnesite boards have strong water absorption, which will make the houses wet after absorbing water, and the service life is not very long, generally 3-5 years. The appearance of the color steel plate movable house has completely changed the flexibility of the temporary house, and the characteristics of convenient installation and sturdiness have been displayed. At present, there are nearly 20,000 enterprises in the country that produce color steel plate movable houses, and these enterprises have also developed step by step from the era of cement board movable houses. As a new type of building material, color steel plate is bonded with thin metal plates and cored materials through an automatic forming tile press, which has great advantages. It is waterproof, warm, colorful, and can be used repeatedly. If the core material is made of flame-retardant material, it also has good fire resistance. At present, most of the temporary houses on construction sites are mobile houses built with color steel plates, and the service life can reach 20 years. In the past two years, container mobile homes based on containers have appeared. The earlier container mobile homes were welded and completed with doors, windows, air conditioners, etc., which were eliminated from shipping. It is also made of color steel plate in the shape of a container. With the improvement of production technology, the appearance of container mobile homes is no longer monotonous. Some hard-covered container mobile homes are comparable to a 20-square-meter hard-covered house.
