A foldable prefab house isn’t just a temporary shelter—it’s a new way of redefining space, mobility, and comfort. Built with industrial precision yet designed for modern lifestyles, YG’s prefab foldable homes combine strength, aesthetics, and speed. Whether for a private residence, an Airbnb-style rental, or an on-site office, this compact modular unit expands into a fully functional home within hours.
Unlike ordinary mobile cabins, YG’s foldable prefab house is designed with a double-wing expandable system—folded for transportation and easily unfolded on-site to create up to 3–4 times the interior space. Each house is pre-installed with integrated wiring, plumbing, insulation, and flooring systems, ensuring that it’s move-in ready the moment it unfolds.

A Spanish client reached out to YG looking for a foldable prefab house to install on his rural property near Valencia. He needed a compact but comfortable structure that could serve as a weekend retreat while avoiding lengthy construction permits.
Solution Provided by YG Machinery: YG recommended a 20ft prefab folding container house with an interior area of 28 m² after unfolding. The layout included a living area, a bedroom, a kitchenette, and a compact bathroom.
Key Customizations:
Wooden-texture wall panels for a natural look;
Full glass sliding doors for sunlight and sea views;
3.5 kW solar power system for off-grid use;
High-density rock wool insulation for energy efficiency.
Outcome: The unit was delivered by sea, unfolded within 4 hours by two workers, and connected to local power and water the same day. The customer reported that the foldable modular home was “as solid as a traditional house but far easier to maintain.” It quickly became a weekend retreat and a rental property during tourist seasons.
