1. Product Overview & Core Functions
The Expandable Apple Cabin is a next-generation prefabricated housing solution engineered for rapid deployment, high durability, and flexible expansion. Designed with a sleek, modern “apple-shaped” exterior and a fold-out structural system, the cabin can transform from a compact transport size into a spacious, functional living or working environment within minutes. Our modular engineering allows the unit to be expanded on-site without heavy machinery, making it a versatile option for residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
Once expanded, the cabin provides a complete enclosed space equipped with thermal insulation, moisture protection, electrical wiring pathways, plumbing-ready layouts, and customizable interior configurations. Whether used as a short-term living space, a long-term office, or a portable accommodation facility, the Expandable Apple Cabin delivers a ready-to-use environment with minimal installation requirements.
2. Key Product Features
- Rapid Expansion Mechanism: The cabin uses a patent-inspired hydraulic-assisted or manual mechanical expansion system, enabling a single operator or a small team to complete full expansion in under 30 minutes. This reduces labor costs and drastically shortens deployment timelines.
- Compact Transport Size: In its folded state, the cabin maintains a small footprint ideal for container shipping, truck transport, or crane lifting. Its modular dimensions allow stacking, bulk transport, and easy storage in warehouses or construction sites.
- Full Structural Integrity: Built using high-strength galvanized steel frames and impact-resistant wall panels, the unit offers reliable protection against environmental elements including wind, rain, humidity, and heat. The structure meets international prefab housing standards and is designed for long-term durability.
- Energy Efficiency & Comfort: The walls integrate multi-layer insulation materials that provide superior thermal performance, ensuring comfortable interior temperatures in both cold and warm climates. Optional features include solar panel integration, energy-efficient LED lighting, and high-performance windows.
- Customizable Interior & Exterior: Customers can choose from multiple interior layouts such as studio living, office suites, worker dormitories, retail booths, or storage units. Exterior colors, window configurations, doors, and roof options can also be adapted based on branding, application, or local aesthetic requirements.
- Low Maintenance & Long Lifespan: All materials are selected for longevity and resistance to corrosion, moisture, insects, and environmental wear. Routine maintenance requirements are minimal, reducing operating costs over time.

4. Product Instructions & Installation Guide
Step-by-Step Deployment
- Site Preparation: Prepare a flat, stable surface such as a concrete slab, compacted gravel pad, or level ground. Ensure sufficient space for expansion on both sides.
- Positioning the Cabin: Use a forklift, crane, or truck to position the folded cabin at the designated location. Secure all corner supports.
Unlocking & Expansion:
Release the external locks on both ends.
Activate the hydraulic or manual expansion mechanism to open the side modules outward until fully extended.
- Structural Securing: Engage the locking bolts and internal braces to stabilize the expanded sections.
Interior Setup:
Connect electrical circuits, interior lighting, and plug-in appliances.
If a bathroom or kitchen module is included, connect the plumbing inlet and outlet.
- Final Inspection: Check all joints, seals, and panel alignments. Ensure doors and windows operate smoothly.
Maintenance Tips
- Conduct seasonal inspections for seals, fasteners, and roof drainage.
- Keep exterior panels clean to prolong material lifespan.
- For long-term use, periodically check electrical and plumbing connections.
