RE: HPM HalePlus modular factory homes - terracore - 02-10-2021
Those folding tiny houses are $2000 each and come with an electrical system (lights, sockets, etc).
Price doesn't include shipping from China. They can fit 12 of them in a 40' container.

Group buy anyone?
RE: HPM HalePlus modular factory homes - terracore - 02-12-2021
I asked them about a 'sample unit' and they said it was same price, $2k.
I found out on another web site that they weigh 8,500 pounds, which is more than I expected. That's a re-think on how to hoist / unfold it.
other info: rated for 7.0 earthquake and 70 MPH winds.
I could be interested in a "group buy" myself, but not in a position financially nor have logistical knowledge to spearhead such an effort.

That's really heavy. About as much as 40 ft conex. I might be interested but not if its 8500.
RE: HPM HalePlus modular factory homes - terracore - 02-12-2021
I'm already double checking the weight. Maybe it's crated / shipping weight?
It's Chinese New Year season, so I'm not bothering them with questions during their holiday.

Everything from China, at this time, has a minimum 25% tariff....
RE: HPM HalePlus modular factory homes - dobanion - 02-12-2021
What's the problem with 8500lbs? Just need a larger than usual forklift, plenty of those around. Or a truck mounted crane.
RE: HPM HalePlus modular factory homes - terracore - 02-12-2021
The manufacturer says it's 1100kg so about 2425 pounds. The 8500 figure must be the weight including the shipping container it's in.
RE: HPM HalePlus modular factory homes - randomq - 02-13-2021
I'll go in on one, if we can agree on a model. What kind of container does it come in, 40HC or some special open top one? Do you get to keep the container?

It could probably be delivered with a flatbed and raised with bottle jacks, 4x4 beams, and patience.
More curious about the load-bearing, so as to build a roof on top.
