700mm mechanical hand-crank expandable container house, 28.37㎡ expanded area, 75mm rock wool insulation, anti-slip steel flooring, 18-year service life—ideal for wild ecological research stations and geological exploration team quarters, with 6 units fitting in one 40HQ container.
This 700mm Field Research Expandable Container House is built for teams working in remote, harsh environments—solving the pain points of off-grid deployment, equipment storage, and extreme weather resistance. It strictly follows the specified dimensions: folded size (L5900×W700×H2480mm) for transport via off-road trucks (single-unit for small research teams) or bulk shipping (6 units/40HQ for large exploration projects), and expanded size (L5900×W4810×H2480mm) delivering 28.37㎡ of multi-functional space—divisible into 12㎡ living area + 10㎡ equipment storage + 6㎡ data processing corner. Internal dimensions (L5620×W4610×H2140mm) accommodate research gear (e.g., sampling tools, laptops) and team rest.
Constructed for field durability: a 2.8mm hot-dip galvanized steel frame (anti-corrosion grade C4-M) resists desert dust, mountain humidity, and chemical corrosion from geological samples; 0.35mm galvanized steel sheets bonded with 75mm high-density rock wool insulation (80kg/m³, Class A fireproof) withstands extreme temperatures (-30℃ to 50℃)—keeping interiors warm in high-altitude areas (≥15℃ in -20℃ outdoor) and cool in deserts (≤30℃ in 45℃ outdoor); 20mm anti-slip steel flooring (with 2mm embossed texture) prevents accidents when carrying wet or muddy equipment. The mechanical hand-crank expansion system works without electricity (40-50 minutes by 2 team members)—critical for off-grid research sites with no generators.
Key research-focused features include 2 waterproof equipment cabinets (1200×600×1800mm, IP65-rated) for sampling tools, a pre-installed 1500×700mm workbench (with power outlets for laptops), and reinforced corner fittings for helicopter lifting (in inaccessible mountain areas). It complies with ISO 9001, CE, and industrial anti-corrosion certifications—meeting global field operation standards.

Wild Research Teams:
①Ecological Observation Stations: Deploy in forests, grasslands, or wetlands for long-term ecological research. The dustproof windows (with insect screens) keep pests out, and the rock wool insulation maintains a stable interior for sensitive equipment (e.g., temperature/humidity sensors). The waterproof cabinets protect samples from moisture—ensuring data accuracy.
②High-Altitude Geological Sampling Quarters: Use as living and working space for 2-3 geologists. The anti-slip flooring handles icy conditions, and the emergency backup lights work during power outages—critical for safety in remote mountains.
Geological Exploration Projects:
①Off-Road Exploration Camps: Batch-order 6 units/40HQ as a base camp for 10-12 exploration staff. The units can be combined to form a “living + working + storage” cluster—reducing the need for multiple temporary structures. The mechanical expansion works without generators, saving fuel costs.
②Mining Site Temporary Labs: Convert the expanded space into a small on-site lab for sample testing. The explosion-proof sockets safely power testing equipment (e.g., X-ray fluorescence analyzers), and the anti-corrosion frame resists mine dust—lowering maintenance costs.
This expandable container home is a “mobile research base” for teams beyond city limits—it’s tough enough to endure wild environments, functional enough to support research work, and efficient enough for bulk deployment. It turns “remote field conditions” into “safe, productive workspaces.”


1. Extreme-Weather Durability: C4-M anti-corrosion steel resists desert dust and mountain humidity; 75mm rock wool insulation withstands -30℃ to 50℃—outperforming standard containers in harsh field conditions.
2. Research-Functional Design: IP65 equipment cabinets, explosion-proof sockets, and workbenches are tailored for research needs—avoiding the hassle of modifying generic containers for sampling or data processing.
3. Bulk Deployment Efficiency: 6 units/40HQ container cuts shipping costs by 35%; units can be combined into clusters—ideal for large exploration projects needing integrated living and working spaces.
For field research teams, “reliability” and “functionality” are as important as safety—this expandable house delivers all three. It’s not just a place to stay, but a tool that supports research efficiency and team safety in the most remote areas.
1. Can the container withstand sandstorms in desert exploration areas?
Yes—the 0.35mm galvanized steel exterior has sealed joints and dustproof window grilles, and the raised chassis (15cm above ground) prevents sand from entering. We’ve tested it in simulated sandstorm conditions (wind speed 40m/s) with no dust intrusion.
2. For our 3-person research team, can we add a small water purification system?
Absolutely—we offer a 50L/hour portable water purification system that connects to local water sources (e.g., rivers, wells). It’s pre-installed with plumbing interfaces, so you can start using it immediately after expansion.
3. How do we maintain the hand-crank expansion system after 2 years of field use?
The system requires only annual lubrication with the provided silicone grease. We also supply a field maintenance kit (including replacement latches and hinges) with each unit, and our engineers offer 24/7 online guidance for any issues.
4. Can multiple units be connected to form a larger lab space?
Yes—with optional connecting panels, 2-3 units can be linked to create a 56-85㎡ open space for larger lab setups (e.g., multiple testing workbenches). The panels are weatherproof and easy to install on-site.
