Metal bunk beds

Demountable Metal Bunk Bed

Demountable metal bunk beds in a dormitory room

A two-tier metal bunk that takes apart completely, down to the ladder. The uprights are 40 × 40 × 1.5 mm, with C-channel side rails and a perforated sheet guardrail and headboard.

The sections are welded-seam tube as they come from the mill, but nothing on the bed is welded together, so it packs far tighter than a bolt-together build, which is what makes it the choice for long routes and large volumes.

Key features

  • Fully demountable, everything comes apart including the ladder
  • Loads far more units per container than the standard and economic models, whose bed base assemblies stay welded
  • Assembly takes longer since there are more parts to put together, and the work is straightforward
  • The most compact of the three models at 1709 mm tall, against 1780 mm and 1880 mm
  • Converts two ways, stacked as a bunk or split into two single beds
  • Folded sheet side rails with a perforated sheet guardrail and headboard
  • Each tier stands 850 mm, and the 9 mm spacer sits inside the upright so it adds only 9 mm to the height
  • 739 mm of clearance between the two beds
  • Bed base in steel profile, with an MDF panel or wire mesh option
  • Electrostatic powder coat, 80 to 120 microns, black standard with any RAL on request

Made to your specification

We build to the project. Black is the standard color, and any RAL is available with the color set at quotation.

  • Mattress size in cm, 90 × 200 standard, with 90 × 190, 80 × 190, or 80 × 200
  • Bed base in steel profile, an MDF panel, or wire mesh
  • Clearance height between the two tiers
  • Floor-fixing feet for anchoring the bunk to the floor

Full custom and OEM detail is on our OEM & custom page. Send the quantity and the room layout, and we will advise on the best setup.

If you are weighing this against the two models whose bed base stays welded, the Standard Metal Bunk Bed page compares all three.

Two ways to use

Stack the tiers as a bunk, or separate them into two single beds when the room needs a different layout.

2Gray demountable metal bunk bed separated into two single beds

Where it's used

It fits projects where the freight cost per bed decides the budget, from high-occupancy dormitories to hostels and worker housing. Because it ships apart and builds up on site, it also suits buildings where lifts and stairwells make a made-up bunk awkward to carry in.

Loading capacity

  • 20′ DC — 23040′ HC — 400Truckload — 400

Every unit ships palletized. On the 40 ft HC and the truckload the limit is weight rather than space, since 400 units come to about 23,200 kg and the load reaches its weight allowance before it fills the volume. Road weight limits differ by country, so we confirm the final count with you against your route before shipment. On the 20 ft DC the limit is volume, not weight.

Truck loading diagram for the demountable metal bunk bed

The diagram lays out 13 pallets at 32 units, which comes to 416. The last pallet is loaded short so the truck stays within its weight limit, giving 400.

Frequently asked questions

What makes this model demountable?

Everything comes apart, including the ladder. The difference is in the side rail. On our standard model the bed base cross members are welded inside the C-channel, so that assembly stays fixed. Here a perforated sheet is riveted to the front of the channel and the cross members pass through those holes instead of being welded, so the whole bed comes apart. That is why it loads far more units per container.

Does it take longer to assemble?

Yes. There are more parts to put together than on the standard and economic models, so assembly takes longer. The work itself is straightforward and needs no special tools.

Can this be used as two single beds?

Yes. It stacks as a two tier bunk or separates into two single beds, which suits dormitory and camp projects where the layout changes.

What is the clearance between the two beds?

The gap between the lower and upper bed is 739 mm, and the lower bed sits 365 mm off the floor. The clearance can be changed to suit your project.

How much weight does the bunk take?

We do not publish a load figure, since we have not had the bunk load tested. What we can tell you is how it is built. The bed base sits on 20 × 30 × 0.8 mm cross members, 10 per bed and 20 per bunk, so the load spreads across the frame rather than a few points. The bunk is built for adult use in dormitories, worker housing, and camps.

What mattress sizes fit?

The standard is 90 × 200 cm, with 90 × 190, 80 × 190, and 80 × 200 also available. Tell us the size you need with your order.

How does this differ from the other two models?

This is the most compact of the three at 1709 mm tall, against 1780 mm for the economic and 1880 mm for the standard. It uses C-channel side rails with a perforated sheet guardrail and headboard, and it is the only model that takes apart completely.

Can the bunk be fixed to the floor?

Yes, floor-fixing feet with anchor holes are available as an option, so the bunk can be dowelled to the floor for extra stability in high-use rooms.

Are mattresses included?

Mattresses can be supplied separately, with the bunk or later.
