EX20X X-Fold Rapid Deployment Container 5.9m

The hinge geometry, and it changes the building. On the X fold each side wall is hinged at the roof and at the floor, so the pair scissor out together in one movement as the roof is raised. On the Z fold the panels are hinged part way up as well, so they fold into a zigzag and come up in stages, layering against each other when locked. The X fold is quicker to stand up, lighter and packs thinner. The Z fold takes longer but locks up stiffer, seals better and takes more fold cycles before the hinges and seals want attention.

An open insulated shell. Wall, roof and floor panels, an entrance door, windows, colour steel exterior cladding and a PVC floor. There is no kitchen, no bathroom, no plumbing and no internal fit out. Linings, joinery, partitions, electrical and plumbing are organised at the destination by local licensed trades to suit whatever the unit is being used for.

Crews do fit these out as sleeping quarters on camps, and we can quote that. Understand what changes when they do: a room people stay overnight in is classified and built differently from a store or a site shed, and the class follows the use rather than the product. Tell us at enquiry that it is for accommodation, because it changes the specification, the documentation and what your certifier will want to see.

It depends on the use and the state. Some site sheds and temporary work site buildings fall under exempt or complying development, while anything people occupy for longer periods usually needs approval from your council or a private certifier. Check your local controls before ordering, because the answer often changes the specification. We supply documentation for the application and cannot guarantee approval on any particular site.

Several, and that is the commercial argument for the product. Because the shells fold to a flat slab and stack, freight per unit drops sharply on a volume order compared with moving finished cabins one at a time. As a category reference, bare folding shells at this footprint are commonly loaded around a dozen to a 40ft high cube, while the same unit with a kitchen and bathroom already fitted folds thicker and loads around half that. Those are industry figures rather than a promise about your order: the count you actually get depends on the folded height of the specification you buy and on the transport leg, so we confirm it in writing with your quotation along with the port of discharge and the road transport.

Yes, and hire fleets do exactly that. Disconnect anything you have added through a licensed trade first, check the seals and the hinges before it is stood up again, and expect the fold line seals to want attention over a working life of repeated moves. If the plan is many cycles over many years, the Z fold is the better spend.

Usually around 20 to 30 working days to build from a confirmed order and deposit, then around 20 to 30 transit days of sea freight to the main Australian ports, including customs clearance and road transport. Container load orders are produced as a batch and often run to a similar timeline as a single unit. All dates are confirmed in writing with your quotation.

Much less than a crane lifted building. The flat packs travel on a standard truck and need firm ground plus a hiab, telehandler or forklift to unload and position them on the prepared pads. Two people then stand each one up with hand tools. Send photos of the approach, the gate widths and the pad locations before we book transport.

Factory quote available. Quantity is the main driver, because this model is built for volume orders and freight is a large share of the delivered figure. Send us the quantity, the delivery address and the intended use, and we will send a written quotation covering the units, delivery to your nearest port and, if you want it, road transport to site.
