Shipping Container Farm House Sold to Australia

In 2025, a vineyard owner in South Australia contacted YG Machinery to solve a pressing problem: providing safe and comfortable accommodation for seasonal workers. Traditional farmhouses were costly and slow to build, while temporary solutions lacked durability and comfort. The farm owner chose to purchase shipping container farm houses as dormitories, along with a container office, a centralized swimming pool, four temporary toilets, and two mobile food trucks. This integrated approach solved both housing and daily living needs for farm workers.
