1. Verified Specifications for Xutuo XT-EH001

The following values are taken from Xutuo House’s official product page. They are useful for initial layout and logistics planning, but every commercial order should still be tied to a revision-controlled drawing and specification.

“40FT” is Xutuo’s nominal product class. Buyers should not treat the name alone as proof that the building is an ISO freight container or that it automatically fits a particular shipping method. Freight planning must use the folded and packaged dimensions stated for the actual order.

2. How to Evaluate the Four-Bedroom Layout

What the public page confirms

The official product title confirms a four-bedroom configuration. The same page publishes a 72 m² floor area and a 3–6 person applicable range. This is an important distinction: four bedrooms do not create a manufacturer-published eight-person occupancy claim. Actual occupancy depends on the approved floor plan, bed sizes, sanitary capacity, ventilation, egress and local regulations.

The public page does not give the clear dimensions of each bedroom, the position of the living room, kitchen or bathroom, or the internal wall and door schedule. A website rendering can help a buyer select a concept, but the purchase should be approved against a dimensioned PDF or CAD drawing with a revision number.

Four-bedroom planning checks

Documents to approve before production

• Dimensioned floor plan showing all four bedrooms and clear internal measurements.
• Furniture plan proving that beds, storage and circulation fit the proposed rooms.
• Door and window schedule coordinated with the floor plan.
• Electrical and plumbing drawings using the destination-country requirements.
• Kitchen, bathroom, finish and appliance schedules with included and optional items separated.
• Foundation, anchoring and service-entry drawings for the destination site.
• A signed inclusions-and-exclusions list using the same model and drawing revision.

3. Expanded Size, Folded Size and Weight

Expanded building envelope

XT-EH001 is listed at 11.8 m long, 6.22 m wide and 2.48 m high when expanded. The published 72 m² figure should be checked against a drawing because the webpage does not say whether it represents the external footprint, gross floor area or net usable internal area. Wall thickness, partitions and service zones can reduce clear space.

Site planning also requires more than the building footprint. Allow for delivery-truck access, crane setup, safe unfolding clearance, steps or decks, drainage, utility work and any setbacks required by the local authority.

Folded transport envelope and net weight

In its folded configuration, the published envelope is 11.8 m × 2.2 m × 2.48 m. The page lists a net weight of 4.6 t. Net weight describes the unit as published; it should not be substituted for packed gross weight when selecting a container, truck, crane or lifting gear.

4. Packaging: What Is Known and What Must Be Confirmed

The official XT-EH001 page publishes the folded size but does not describe the final packaging system. A folded dimension is not automatically the same as the external shipping-package dimension. Protective frames, wrapping, corner guards and separately packed accessories can add size and weight.

Recommended pre-shipment packing evidence

• Photographs of the unit before folding and after final protective packaging.
• Photographs showing loose items and package labels.
• A numbered packing list that matches every physical package.
• Measured packaged dimensions and gross weights, not only catalogue values.
• Loading and lashing photographs before the transport unit is sealed or dispatched.
• A written shortage/damage reporting process for destination inspection.

5. Shipping and Transport Planning

Does XT-EH001 ship in a 40HQ container?

Xutuo’s public XT-EH001 page does not state the shipping container type or the number of units per 40HQ. It would be misleading to publish a fixed answer from the product name or folded dimensions alone. Final packaging, door clearance, loading equipment, lashing space, payload, accessory packages and carrier rules all affect the method.

The correct approach is to ask Xutuo and the freight provider for a written transport proposal tied to the exact configuration. That proposal should identify whether the shipment uses a standard enclosed container, another container type or a different transport solution. This article does not select a method because the public evidence does not support one universal answer.

Shipping documents and decisions

Factory-to-site transport sequence

1. Freeze the configuration and drawing revision so the packaging and freight quote are based on the correct unit.
2. Receive the packaged dimensions, gross weights, packing list and loading plan from Xutuo.
3. Have the freight provider verify the proposed transport equipment, payload, route and destination handling.
4. Confirm export packing, cargo securing, shipment documentation and pre-dispatch inspection photographs.
5. Prepare customs, port and inland-delivery arrangements for the destination.
6. Prepare site access, crane area, exclusion zone, foundation and storage space before the truck arrives.
7. Inspect the shipment on arrival, document damage or shortages and unload under an approved lift plan.

6. Unloading and Installation Interface

Xutuo’s service page states that a crane is needed to lift the product from the truck at the destination. It also states that installation can be completed within a few hours with at least four able-bodied people, and that electrical and piping connections must be installed by certified technicians.

The product page’s four-hour-per-set statement should be treated as an installation target for a prepared standard unit, not the total project programme. It does not include permitting, foundation preparation, crane mobilization, utility trenching, local connections, inspections, extensive optional finishing or rectification caused by an unprepared site.

7. Customization Options and Approval Boundaries

The XT-EH001 page says that 20FT and 40FT products can be customized according to customer demand. It also lists decoration, kitchen, toilet, bathroom, electrical appliances and furniture as optional accessories, and describes pre-built electricity, water plumbing and bathroom fittings. These statements support a customization discussion, but they do not mean every item is included in the standard price.

8. Suitable Applications

Xutuo lists house, office, dormitory, shop, bar, emergency room and disaster-relief room as uses for its expandable range. A four-bedroom XT-EH001 can therefore be evaluated for family accommodation, workforce housing, guest or resort units and other multi-room projects. Suitability depends on the final layout and destination requirements.

For occupied or permanent use, buyers should obtain local advice on planning, building approval, wind/snow/seismic design, fire safety, energy performance, sanitation, electrical work, foundation, anchoring, accessibility and occupancy. Product availability does not automatically establish local approval.

9. Pre-Order Checklist for the 40FT Four-Bedroom Model

• Confirm the destination country, city, site and intended building use.
• Confirm model XT-EH001 and the four-bedroom drawing revision.
• Approve the 72 m² area basis and all clear internal room dimensions.
• Approve occupancy, beds, bathroom capacity, circulation and egress requirements.
• Approve included and optional kitchen, bathroom, electrical, plumbing, appliance and furniture items.
• Approve the model-specific material and finish schedule.
• Obtain site-specific structural criteria, foundation and anchoring documents.
• Confirm final packaged dimensions, packaged gross weight and center of gravity.
• Approve the packing list, transport type, loading plan and cargo-securing method.
• Confirm the destination crane, lifting plan, crew, access and installation responsibilities.
• Ensure every quotation, drawing, packing document and contract uses matching model and revision numbers.

10. Frequently Asked Questions

Layout, weight, packaging, transport and customization questions

What are the dimensions of Xutuo’s 40ft four-bedroom expandable container house?

For model XT-EH001, Xutuo publishes an expanded size of 11,800 × 6,220 × 2,480 mm and a folded size of 11,800 × 2,200 × 2,480 mm.

Does the product have four bedrooms?

Yes. Xutuo’s official product title identifies XT-EH001 as a four-bedroom model. The public text does not provide the clear dimensions or exact arrangement of those rooms, so buyers should request the approved floor plan.

How many people can use XT-EH001?

Xutuo publishes an applicable range of 3–6 people. The four-bedroom label should not be converted into a higher occupancy claim without an approved plan and local occupancy review.

Is 72 m² the net internal living area?

The product page publishes a 72 m² floor area but does not define whether it is gross, footprint or net usable internal area. Request an area schedule and dimensioned plan.

How much does the 40ft four-bedroom unit weigh?

Xutuo publishes a net weight of 4.6 t. The final packaged gross weight, loose-accessory weight and shipment total must be confirmed separately.

How is XT-EH001 packaged?

The public page provides the folded unit size but does not describe the final protective packaging. Request packaged dimensions, gross weight, package list, moisture protection and loading photographs.

How many units fit in a 40HQ container?

The public XT-EH001 page does not publish a 40HQ loading quantity or even one universal transport method. Use Xutuo’s order-specific loading plan and the freight provider’s written verification.

Is a crane required at the destination?

Yes. Xutuo’s service page says a crane is required to lift the product from the truck.

Can the four-bedroom floor plan be customized?

The product page states that customized supply is available according to demand. The exact layout, engineering effect, price and production scope must be approved in the final drawings and quotation.

Are the kitchen, bathroom, appliances and furniture included?

Xutuo lists decoration, kitchen, toilet, bathroom, electrical appliances and furniture as optional accessories. Buyers should confirm each included and excluded item in writing.

Are electricity and plumbing prepared in the factory?

The product page describes pre-built electricity and water plumbing, and the service page says electrical and plumbing layouts can be provided and prefabricated. Final local connections must be completed by certified technicians.

What service life does Xutuo publish for XT-EH001?

The product page lists 30–40 years. The page does not state the assumptions behind the range, so the order should define warranty, environment, maintenance and exclusions separately.

11. Why Evaluate Xutuo House for a 40FT Four-Bedroom Project?

Xutuo House presents Hebei Xutuo New Material Technology Co., Ltd. as a China-based container-house manufacturer. Its official website lists expandable container houses, folding container houses, creative houses, space capsules and vacation houses, and publishes XT-EH001 as its 40FT four-bedroom expandable model.

For buyers, the value of this model page is that it provides a named product with published expanded dimensions, folded dimensions, floor area, net weight, occupancy range and optional accessory categories. A responsible procurement process then turns those public facts into an approved four-bedroom drawing, order-specific specification, packing plan and transport method.
