Absolute Containers’ 2-bedroom container accommodation unit is a 2.4m x 12m self-contained portable structure with two sleeping areas, an open-plan living room, a kitchenette, and a bathroom, built for rapid deployment on mining camps, farming operations, and remote field sites.
A 2-bedroom container accommodation unit is a shipping container converted into self-contained lodging. Absolute Containers converts a 12m B-grade shipping container shell into a two-bedroom, one-bathroom layout with an open-plan lounge and kitchenette.
The footprint measures 2.4m x 12m (28.8m²), giving site teams, contractors, and field personnel durable, weather-resistant lodging without a lengthy construction programme.
Absolute Containers has supplied mobile accommodation solutions throughout South Africa for over a decade, and this configuration remains one of our most requested units for organisations managing dispersed teams.
The standard configuration combines two bedrooms, an open-plan living area and kitchenette, and a bathroom within a converted 12m B-grade shipping container shell.
