20-ft Office Container
20-ft office container for professional workspace
A proven 6 m format with approximately 15 m² of usable space
The 20-ft office container is a versatile solution for site offices, project rooms, temporary workspaces and longer-term business extensions. It provides practical room for two to four people and can be used independently or incorporated into a larger modular office arrangement.
A dependable base specification
The standard configuration includes two insulated tilt-and-turn windows with external roller shutters, a secure steel entrance door and a complete electrical installation with lighting and sockets. Windows can be positioned on the front or side to suit the intended layout. Heating and air conditioning are available as optional equipment.
Configure the space around its intended use
The internal layout, window and door positions, floor finish and additional equipment can be coordinated around the way the office will be used. This makes the same proven 20-ft format suitable for individual offices, team rooms, reception areas and other professional workspace requirements. Further sizes and modular combinations are available in the office-container range. For a fully fitted living and sanitary layout, see the 20-ft accommodation-container configurations.
Support from planning through installation
CHV helps align the container specification with the site, intended use and wider project requirements. Our team can coordinate the practical steps from initial advice and configuration through transport, placement and on-site installation.
A practical investment for long-term space
Buying is the natural route when the workspace is required for continued use or will form part of a planned modular facility. For temporary requirements, the same proven 20-ft format is also available from the CHV rental fleet. Explore office-container rentals to compare the two routes.

How CHV Office Containers Are Built
CHV office containers combine a welded steel frame with insulated floor, roof and wall elements, factory-installed electrical equipment and configurable windows, doors and internal layouts. The sections below describe the typical construction; the final specification is confirmed for the selected model and intended use. Explore office-container equipment and finishes >
Structural Frame & Modular Design
The load-bearing structure comprises a welded floor frame, roof frame and corner posts made from 3 mm galvanized, coated steel profiles. The modular design allows containers to be positioned individually, arranged side by side or combined into larger facilities. Wall openings and internal partitions can be planned around the required layout. Stacked solutions are possible where the project-specific structural design, foundations and approvals permit them.
Roof Construction
The flat roof uses a welded steel frame and a galvanized sheet-steel outer skin with sealed double seams. Mineral-wool or rigid-foam insulation and an internal ceiling lining complete the build-up. The insulation and lining are specified for the model, intended use and required thermal performance.
Floor Construction
A galvanized, coated steel floor frame with forklift pockets provides the structural base. The standard build-up includes 100 mm non-combustible mineral-wool insulation, an underfloor sheet layer, a 20 mm cement-bonded board and durable, low-smoke, flame-retardant 1.5 mm homogeneous PVC flooring. XPS insulation and alternative floor finishes are available for suitable applications.
Insulated Wall System
External wall elements combine coated galvanized sheet steel, mineral-wool insulation and a durable white internal lining. The same modular principle can be used for partitions, allowing practical layouts with consistent surface finishes. Thermal and acoustic performance depends on the selected wall build-up and openings.
Windows & Glazing
Standard office-container windows use insulating glazing with tilt-and-turn hardware and external roller shutters. Depending on the model and application, options include sliding windows, service hatches, fixed glazing and larger display or showroom glazing. Number, position and dimensions are coordinated with the layout and structural requirements.
Doors & Access
Single-leaf steel exterior doors with secure locking are the usual standard. Options include glazed door leaves, double-leaf doors, alternative entrance positions and interior doors. Wider or step-free access, ramps and platform solutions are planned as project-specific access systems rather than assumed as standard.
Electrical Installation
Factory-installed electrical equipment is adapted to the selected model. Full-size office-container models include a 400 V / 32 A / 5-pin CEE inlet and outlet, a distribution board with RCD protection, separately protected circuits, lighting, switches and sockets. Final equipment and the applicable electrical standards and conformity requirements are confirmed for the project and installation location.
Heating, Cooling & Ventilation
Heating provision depends on the model and configuration. Standard heater quantities for the full-size models are shown in the comparison table; heating remains optional for the 5-ft cabin. Additional electric wall convectors, mechanical extract ventilation and compact or split air-conditioning systems can be specified according to the intended occupancy and operating conditions. Capacity and placement are defined for the container size, glazing, insulation and site conditions.
Quality Control & Project-Specific Requirements
CHV office containers are produced and checked against the agreed specification. Structural design, fire-performance requirements, electrical documentation and any application-specific approvals or certificates are defined for the selected model, configuration and installation site.
