Tunnel Containers: What No One Is Talking About

Tunnel Containers

As the name implies the most important feature of a tunnel containers is the dual-door design at each end of the container. This significantly improves accessibility and makes them ideal for storage and handling of products.

They can also be converted into self-storage units by adding a partition. We have helped customers utilize them for plant machinery storage and for secure access to sites using turnstiles.

Dual Access

Tunnel containers are an alternative to the standard shipping container that has double doors at both ends. Known as a 'double end door container' or 'tunnel container' These containers allow access to stored items from both ends.

The dual-end access allows for cargo to be loaded and unloaded from both sides of the container. This is ideal for transporting larger or bulkier goods that would otherwise need to be backed into and out of the container. Double-end access eliminates the requirement to empty the entire container to reach goods buried deep inside, which saves time and reducing the risk of damage.

This nifty feature is what makes these tunnel containers so versatile and flexible. They can be used to fulfill various storage and transport requirements as well as be transformed into mobile offices or living spaces. Because they're constructed of robust and corrosion-resistant Corten steel, these containers can withstand the most extreme weather conditions.

If you're looking for an extra secure solution, we can join steel bulkheads to one of the long sides, creating two separate storage compartments of 10ft. Self-storage companies can use them to divide their customers' belongings into different areas, which increases security. Our double-end door containers are popular for use at large events as ticket entry points, as they can accommodate long lines of people and keep them dry.

Our new 20ft tunnel container double-door tunnels come with fork pockets designed for large industrial forklifts which means they can be easily stacked and lifted from the corners of both sides. We've also installed PIR insulation and heaters to these units which makes them suitable for storage throughout the year.

If you're looking for a customized container solution We can also create custom-sized tunnel containers that exactly meet your requirements. We can produce tunnel containers with single or double-sided designs, and different lengths. Custom-sized tunnel containers are more expensive than standard shipping containers, so we recommend selecting the most suitable size that meets your needs.

Temperature-Sensitive Goods

Most dangerous goods including explosives, flammable liquids and organic peroxides, must be stored at the right temperature. Any temperature fluctuations could alter their stability, and could cause a explosion or release of toxic fumes. When storing temperature-sensitive hazardous goods, it's essential that container terminal facilities are equipped with the appropriate monitoring equipment to track and identify any anomalies or deviations from set temperatures.

Often, these fluctuations can be difficult to detect, particularly during a hectic workday. Container terminals need an instrument to monitor the temperature of all reefer containers within their facility. This allows personnel to react promptly to any anomalies and prevent any risks.

Tunnel containers are a practical option when it comes to transporting and storing temperature-sensitive goods. Double doors are found at both ends of the container, which makes it easier to load and unload during transportation and storage. They can also be used to store bulky items such as machinery and vehicles.

These containers are modified from standard shipping containers of 20ft or 40ft. The solid end is removed and the double door set is then welded to provide two-way access. They are often used on construction sites where it is required to pass over and under heavy machinery.

Some container terminals also convert their tunnel shipping containers (Click On this page) to function as a secure entry point to the site by installing a turnstile or an automated security checkpoint when visitors pass through. Although these conversions aren't readily available in a standard size but they are easily customized to meet specific requirements and are highly cost effective compared to constructing an entire facility from scratch. Tunnel containers are usually only available in a new "one-trip" model, as their owners create them specifically for a certain purpose and then hold onto them. They are therefore highly sought-after by those who wish to grow their business or warehouse without having to purchase new refrigeration equipment. They are also a very economical solution for those who want to store temperature-sensitive goods over long periods of time, or for transporting large volumes of cargo over long distances.

Convenient Storage

Tunnel containers are the ideal container to store your cargo. These containers come with double doors on both sides of the container, unlike traditional dry storage containers that have doors on one side. This allows you to access your storage container from either side. This makes it easier to load and unload items.

This dual entry point is useful for a storage container that will be used to store goods that you require frequent access to, such as machinery or equipment. This means that you don't have to continuously reverse vehicles in and out of the container, which could damage both your vehicle and the container.

You can also utilize a tunnel container for store items that you need to keep at a particular temperature. The thermal and refrigerated tunnel containers are perfect for this as they have temperature controls to ensure that the contents inside are kept at a certain temperature.

In addition to providing easy access, a tunnel container is an ideal solution for a garage or workshop because it allows you to easily access all areas of your workspace without having to move things around. Dual doors at each end allow you to swiftly enter and exit your storage container when needed.

One trip tunnel containers can be constructed from new with two sets of double doors or modified from a standard shipping container. In the latter, the solid end of the container is removed and a set of double doors is welded to each end of the container.

These containers are usually only available in new, 'one-trip' condition, as their owners will have built them for a specific reason and won't want to sell them off. However, you can purchase refurbished tunnel containers from companies that offer this specialised container type. The recycled containers have been checked to ensure that they are safe for transport and come with a warranty that is extended to provide additional peace of mind.

Easy Transportation

The double cargo doors on both sides of tunnel containers make it easy to unload and load items from either end. This makes them ideal for the transportation of all kinds of general and bulk cargo, as well as special items such as motorbikes or cars. They are also frequently used as tunnels for temporary use at construction sites due to their safety, durability and flexibility to modify.

Shipping Containers with double doors are ideal for storage. Being able to access both sides of the container means that there is no need to completely unload goods or take a portion of the container in order to access the contents stored in the back, which could save time and money. Furthermore, the doors at both sides can be locked to prevent any unauthorized access.

These containers are constructed of corten steel and are designed to withstand tough conditions. These containers are wind and watertight, and they have ventilation to allow airflow. These features can shield the goods from moisture, thus making it less likely for them to suffer from loss and deterioration.

You can choose a variety of options for a container tunnel based on your needs. For instance, open top containers have a bow-top that is removable, which allows for the easier loading of large and heavy cargo. Side-open containers come with doors that are placed on the sides of the container which makes them ideal for storage of smaller goods. A refrigerated ISO container, or reefer, has a regulated temperature and can be used to store temperature-sensitive goods.

These containers are available in new and refurbished models in sizes of 20 and 40 ft tunnel containers feet with doors on both sides to allow for easy loading. They can be tailored to meet your needs but will cost more than a standard double door container.
