The Flip Lite Expandable Unit represents PackPrefab’s refined modular housing platform. Engineered with precision-welded structural steel frames and high-pressure polyurethane (PU) insulation, the Flip Lite combines long-term habitability with optimized shipping economics.
Each unit ships in a closed transport footprint and expands on site to reveal a spacious layout complete with a factory-installed bathroom, pre-wired utility routes, and low-maintenance interior finishes.
Compare dimensional options, material layers, and certified load capabilities engineered for demanding climate zones and commercial deployments.

Designed for versatility, the Flip Lite platform meets residential zoning, commercial operational needs, and humanitarian response timelines.
Residential Infill
A cost-effective solution for property developers and homeowners creating permitted accessory dwelling units, rental cottages, or multi-generational living spaces with minimal site noise and disturbance.
Infrastructure & Commercial
Durable, insulated field offices for construction sites, remote mining camps, and project management hubs that require fast erection and repeated relocation capability.
Government & NGO
Pre-positioned disaster relief shelters and transitional housing communities. Highly compact ocean shipping allows humanitarian agencies to maximize shelter capacity per transport unit.
Because the side wings fold securely against the central chassis, 2 complete Flip Lite units can be stowed inside a single 40ft High-Cube container. This significantly lowers international shipping costs per unit compared to fully assembled modular buildings.
Buyers must arrange a crane or high-capacity forklift (minimum 4.5-ton rating) to offload the unit from the delivery truck. Once positioned on site, 2 workers can expand the floor and roof wings using standard hand tools and lifting jacks within 8 hours.
The Flip Lite structural steel chassis can be set on concrete piers, strip footings, screw piles, or a fully poured concrete slab. Ensure all load points under the perimeter chassis corners are level before starting the expansion sequence.
Yes. The central core houses a factory-fitted bathroom with pre-installed plumbing, drainage outlets, lighting fixtures, and electrical wiring. On-site work is limited to connecting your main water, sewer, and electrical supply lines.
