What is a container home on wheels?
A container home on wheels is a modular home that converts a standard freight container into a living or working space. This type of home is usually installed on a chassis that complies with road transport regulations and is equipped with wheels so that it can be easily dragged on the road, similar to a trailer. They combine the sturdy structure of a container with flexible mobility and are suitable for a variety of scenarios that require convenient living, working or temporary accommodation.
