expandable shipping container homes
YG expandable container houses are modular prefabricated buildings based on standard shipping containers, utilising a hydraulic telescopic mechanism for rapid space expansion. Their core positioning is a multi-functional building solution offering convenient transportation, efficient construction, and flexible adaptation to various scenarios. Breaking the limitations of fixed space in traditional buildings, they are transported in standard container dimensions and can quickly expand to more than double their usable space upon landing, while also boasting excellent performance characteristics such as being environmentally friendly, earthquake-resistant, and windproof. Whether for short-term temporary placement or long-term permanent use, YG expandable container houses can precisely meet specific needs. They can be transported globally via ordinary container trucks, reducing transportation costs by 40% compared to traditional prefabricated houses. Furthermore, addressing environmental and energy-saving requirements, YG also offers a customised expandable container house with solar energy, which can be equipped with solar panels and energy storage systems to achieve an independent power supply, suitable for remote scenarios without grid coverage.

Rapid Expansion, Doubling Space: Utilising hydraulic automatic expansion technology, no large hoisting equipment is required. The 20ft model expands to a usable area of 35㎡, and the 40ft model to 75㎡, increasing space utilisation by over 100% compared to traditional container houses.
Convenient Transportation, Efficient Construction: Meets international container shipping standards during transport and can be conveniently transported globally via sea, land, and rail. On-site construction requires no complex work; after expansion, only simple fixing and connecting parts are needed, allowing for move-in readiness within 2 hours, increasing efficiency by 90% compared to traditional building construction.
Earthquake and Wind Resistance, Safe and Reliable: The main frame uses a steel structure design, with an earthquake resistance level of up to level 8, and can withstand winds of up to level 12. The enclosure structure uses a sealed design with a waterproof rating of IP65, effectively preventing rainwater penetration and adapting to complex environments such as windy, rainy, and earthquake-prone areas.
Environmentally Friendly and Energy-Saving, Green and Livable: Utilising recyclable steel and environmentally friendly sandwich panels, the building material recycling rate exceeds 90%, meeting green building standards. The thermally insulated sandwich panels reduce energy consumption for air conditioning and heating. Combined with the solar energy system in the expandable container house with solar energy model, energy self-sufficiency can be achieved, further reducing operating costs.
Flexible Customisation, Adaptable to Multiple Scenarios: Supports basic sizes such as 10ft/20ft/30ft/40ft, and allows for customisation of internal layouts (e.g., bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, office areas). Exterior colours and materials can also be customised, and multiple units can be combined to form large building complexes, adapting to different scenario requirements.
Customer Feedback from Australia and Spain Regarding Their Experience Using YG’s Folding Houses
Case Study 1: Australia – The Outback Solution
Customer: Bruce, a cattle station owner in Queensland.
The Problem: Bruce needed tough, reliable housing for his station hands, but building anything in the remote outback is a logistical nightmare. Materials are expensive to transport, skilled labour is scarce, and the finished buildings have to withstand everything from scorching heat to flash floods. He was tired of dealing with rundown trailers and wanted something that would actually make his workers want to stay.
The YG Solution: Bruce ordered two 40ft expandable container houses. They were shipped efficiently, arriving at the nearest depot from which he arranged transport. Using his station’s telehandler and a couple of his most practical workers, they had both units unfolded and secured on pre-laid concrete footings in a single afternoon. They connected them to the station’s generator and water tank, and they were good to go.
Bruce’s Feedback: “Honestly, I was sceptical. I thought they’d be flimsy tin cans. But these things are built like a tank. The blokes moved in and immediately said it was the best accommodation they’d ever had on a station—proper insulation means the air-con actually works without costing a fortune. It’s saved me a massive headache and thousands of dollars compared to building from scratch. They are bloody brilliant. When we need more housing, I’m not even looking elsewhere; I’m just calling YG.”
Case Study 2: Spain – The Dream Retreat, Minus the Bureaucracy
Customer: Sofia and Javier, a couple from Madrid.
The Problem: Sofia and Javier bought a small plot of land in Andalusia, covered in old olive trees. Their dream was a simple weekend retreat to escape the city, but the reality was a bureaucratic nightmare. The thought of applying for a full building permit (licencia de obra)—a process that could take years and cost a fortune with architects and lawyers—was killing their dream before it even started. They needed a beautiful, modern space without the red tape.
The YG Solution: They discovered the 20ft expandable container house and saw it as the perfect loophole. In many parts of Spain, a structure that is mobile and not on a permanent foundation can bypass the strictest building codes. They ordered one with the optional solar energy package to be completely self-sufficient. It was delivered by truck down a narrow country lane, placed on a simple gravel pad, and unfolded in less than two hours.
Sofia’s Feedback: “This little house saved our dream. We went from having an empty field to having this beautiful, light-filled home in one day. The paperwork was minimal. Now, our weekends are spent here, with the glass doors wide open to the olive grove, not in meetings with city officials. It feels solid, modern, and surprisingly spacious inside. Our friends are all jealous! It’s our perfect escape, our refugio, and it was so incredibly simple. YG gave us our dream back, without the Spanish bureaucracy.”
1. Is this type of expandable container house safe in extreme winds?
YG’s expandable containers undergo rigorous wind tunnel testing. The base of the house is securely connected to the ground foundation (such as concrete blocks) via embedded parts or heavy bolts, ensuring stability even in gale-force winds.
2. Can underfloor heating be installed in this type of container house?
Absolutely. We have provided sufficient floor height for customers to choose to install an electric underfloor heating system. Combined with YG’s superior insulation wall panels, the heating efficiency in winter is extremely high.
3. What kind of foundation is needed to install an expandable container house?
This is precisely its advantage. Due to its even weight distribution, it does not require deep foundation excavation. A simple concrete level, helical piles, or sturdy brick supports are sufficient for installation.
4. How is the waterproofing of the house handled?
We’ve designed a multi-layered waterproof barrier at the folded seams of the double-wing design, including highly flexible EPDM sealant strips and specialised drainage eaves, ensuring the interior remains dry even in heavy rain.
5. Can YG houses be stacked?
YG’s standard models support single-story use. For stacking, we need to reinforce the load-bearing capacity of the steel structural columns before ordering. Our engineers will customise a unique structural reinforcement plan based on your stacking requirements.
