Labor camps and worker accommodations need beds that survive years of rough use, stack safely, and ship in containers without breaking the budget. This checklist covers what procurement and project managers should specify before requesting a quote.
1. Set the load rating first
Specify per-berth dynamic load, not just static. Zehao's welded steel bunk beds are SGS-tested to 200 kg per berth, well above the EN 747 minimum. For harsher environments choose heavy-gauge frames rated to 400 lb per level.
Always ask for the test certificate and frame gauge so you can verify the claim with the buyer's own QA team.
2. Anti-tamper and tamper-resistant details
In correctional and high-security labor camps, specify anti-tamper bunk beds with welded (not bolted) joints, recessed fixings, and no removable parts that could be weaponized.
3. Flat-pack KD for container savings
Knock-down (KD) construction cuts volume up to 70%. Our flat-pack steel bunk beds are designed for 20GP/40HQ loading — ask the supplier for a per-container count before you commit.
4. Confirm MOQ, lead time and customization
Standard MOQ starts around 50 sets. RAL colour, mattress interface and ladder side are customizable. Have your project specification ready so the factory can confirm the production slot.
Frequently Asked Questions
What load rating do labor camp bunk beds need?
Aim for at least 150 kg per berth; Zehao supplies SGS-tested 200 kg/berth frames as standard, with heavy-gauge options to 180+ kg.
Are flat-pack bunk beds strong enough for camps?
Yes. KD refers to shipping, not strength — the frames are fully welded and bolted on site, meeting the same EN 747 structure standards as assembled units.
What is a realistic MOQ for a camp project?
Typically 50-200 sets per size. Share the headcount and room layout early so the factory can batch production and hold the lead time.
