3 Bedroom Modular Container Home on Wheels – Mountain Style

This is a factory-finished three-bedroom modular home built on a three-axle trailer base, delivered complete with kitchen, bathroom and furnishings already in place. It travels at 7.36 m x 2.35 m and expands on site, which is how a unit small enough to transport ends up with three separate sleeping areas.

Australian interest in this format comes from a few directions at once: rural landholders adding accommodation without building, tourism operators wanting cabins that can be relocated, and families looking at a relocatable option instead of a conventional second dwelling.

How it is built

• C89 light gauge steel frame, 89 mm wide sections
• Weather-resistant metal exterior, sealed against water ingress
• The manufacturer rates the structure as waterproof and to Grade 8 seismic resistance – these are the maker’s own figures, not an Australian Standard certification
• Insulated for use in both hot and cold climates
• Approximate weight 8,000 lb (about 3,629 kg)

Delivery and unloading

It ships as oversized freight by truck and must be lifted off by crane – it is too heavy and too large to unload with a forklift. Book the crane before the delivery date and confirm the machine can reach the final position, not just the driveway. No on-site assembly is required beyond expansion and service connections.

Services and approvals

Electrical wiring is pre-installed; final connection and certification to AS/NZS 3000 must be completed on site by a licensed Australian electrician. Plumbing connection is likewise licensed work. Most importantly, a habitable dwelling almost always requires council approval in Australia regardless of whether it sits on wheels – this listing makes no claim that the unit is approved, certified habitable or compliant with the National Construction Code. Read our council approval guide and confirm your local position before purchase. Comparable homes are under cabins for sale.
