Frames of housing containers
The housing container frame is the basic load-bearing element of housing containers suitable for the construction of a modular system. It is used for stand-alone use or as a kit adapted to the customer’s requirements and wishes. We supply it in various modifications and dimensions with equipment according to the customer’s wishes (e.g. staircase, holders for plumbing fixtures, supports and other elements). You can find our frames all over Europe, but also in other parts of the world. We produce them according to EN ISO 9001 – Quality management systems, EN ISO 3834-2 – Quality requirements for fusion welding, EN 1090-2 – Execution of steel structures.
Typified single-level modular container
The frame of the typified single-level container is intended to be free-standing. It is offered in all-welded or prefab (bolted) version with
delivery of separate components (1x floor, 1x roof, 4x columns). Simple assembly on site, saving transport costs.

Steel supporting structure
The supporting structure of the container is a space frame consisting of floor subassemblies, corner columns and the roof. The frame bars are designed from steel bent profiles of various shapes and thicknesses of 3.0–4.0 mm. The material of the steel structure is S235 and S355.
The module has been assessed according to the ČSN EN system of standards for these loads: - Floor payload: 300 kg/m2. It can therefore be used in categories A (residential), B (offices), C1 (areas with tables), E1 (warehouses). Roof load: snow load value on the ground 150 kg/m2. Wind for wind region 3 (27.5 m/s).
The container does not need to be anchored to the foundation in terms of overturning, but must be secured against displacement e.g. by a ground stop. Connection of modules into ground assemblies of several units is possible. Placement on a hardened flat surface or on foundation footings is assumed. For containers of type K-3060 and K-2560, a minimum of 6 footings are required – under the corner columns and under the centre of the floor beam. For types K-3030 and K-2530, 4 footings under the corner columns are sufficient.
Cladding of the steel structure (not included)
The container frame is designed to meet standard finishing requirements.
Trapezoidal metal sheet T40 0.75 mm thick (40/183) will be used as the supporting trapezoidal profile for the roof cladding. The trapezoidal sheet reinforces the containers in the roof plane. Due to the wind suction, the trapezoidal sheet must be anchored into the transoms (at least every second wave). The thermal insulation of the roof is 80 mm thick mineral wool. The ceiling can be made of laminated plywood 12 mm thick or plasterboard 12.5 mm thick. The standard side cladding is made of 60 mm thick PUR panels. Panels 40 and 80 mm thick can also be used, but the construction must be adapted to them during manufacture. The floor board is OSB 18 mm thick, or Cetris boards 22 mm thick. The floor insulation is mineral wool 100 mm thick. The floor is closed on the underside with galvanized sheet metal 0.5 mm thick (floor galvanized sheet is included in the delivery).
Surface treatment
Steel frames are supplied with corrosion protection as standard (1x primer + 1x topcoat).
RAL 5017 (traffic blue)
RAL 1015 (light ivory)
RAL 9016 (traffic white)
Transport packaging
As standard, we deliver the steel frames disassembled in a flat-pack. The package includes 1x floor, 1x roof, 4x columns, fasteners, assembly instructions. The frame can be assembled simply by erecting the corner columns and screwing them to the base frame. The roof is to be mounted on the columns with a crane or forklift and attached in the same way.
Delivery date
Steel frames are normally delivered within 4-5 weeks.
