Follow these pre-installation concrete leveling dimensions, Ø 35 mm crane hook rigging rules, and 200 kg/m² structural operating standards prior to container delivery to ensure door/window alignment and full SerContainer warranty protection.
Before the delivery truck arrives, the ground must be compacted and leveled using one of the three concrete support methods below. Never place a container directly on soil, gravel, wooden blocks, or un-leveled ground.
For a standard 300 × 700 cm container: cast 4 parallel reinforced concrete beams (300 cm length × 40 cm width × 25 cm height) with 180 cm clear spacing along the 700 cm axis.
For a standard 300 × 700 cm container: cast 8 concrete pier pads (2 rows × 4 pads), each 40 × 40 cm footprint × 25 cm height, with 180 cm clear intervals so corner and intermediate cross-beams bear evenly.
Alternatively, cast a full steel-mesh reinforced slab (min. 15 cm thick). All beams/piers must be checked along both main axes and diagonal X-axes (L1 = L2, ±0 mm) prior to unloading.

IMPORTANT ENGINEERING NOTE: The foundation dimensions above apply to single standalone containers. For joined/coupled container complexes or multi-storey installations, request a dedicated project foundation plan from SerContainer engineering during ordering. Door/window racking and water pooling caused by un-leveled ground are excluded from warranty.
Unloading from the truck and seating onto concrete supports must be performed exclusively by a certified crane operator using rated 4-leg slings.
Structural damage, roof leaks, or panel deformation caused by violating the operating rules below will void product warranty coverage.

For 3×7 m container frame kits, the minimum order is 10 sets. For all other frame dimensions, the minimum order is 20 sets. Mixed orders are accepted: you can combine different dimensions, roof types (Flat Roof and Gable A-Roof), and surface finishes (Painted and Galvanized).
No. Ready modular containers (accommodation units, site offices, security cabins, and WC/shower sanitary containers) can be ordered starting from 1 unit up to multi-unit construction camp packages.
For bolt-together demountable frame kits (such as 2.4×6 m or 3×7 m), a single 13.6m flatbed/curtain-side truck or 40' HC container holds approximately 20 to 28 sets depending on total weight and roof geometry. For factory-assembled 3×7 m ready containers, 1 truck carries 2 monoblock units (or 4–6 compact guard/sanitary cabins); for multi-unit export projects shipped in flat-pack configuration, 1 truck or 40' HC carries 6 to 10 units.
Flat Roof frame kits have a 2,600 mm external height and standard chassis/roof purlin structure. Gable (A) Roof frame kits feature 2,500 mm vertical side walls and dual-pitched steel roof trusses reaching a 2,850 mm ridge height, designed for rapid rainwater/snow runoff and residential aesthetics.
Yes. While our standard ready containers feature EPS insulated wall panels, you can select the "Hot Climate & Camp Option" in our quote calculator to upgrade to fire-rated Rockwool or high-density PIR panels, reinforced roof insulation, and pre-wired split A/C provisions for Iraq, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, and North Africa projects.
Each frame kit includes the bottom chassis perimeter beams, top roof perimeter frame, intermediate floor/roof purlins, 4 or 6 load-bearing corner columns, gable roof trusses/ridge beams (on A-roof models), lifting lugs, and the complete bolt/nut/washer fastener set. Wall panels, roof cladding sheets, floor boards, doors, windows, and site assembly are excluded from the frame-only kit.
