See What Shipping Container Tunnel Tricks The Celebs Are Using

Shipping Container Tunnel

Shipping container tunnels, also known as double-end doors, have typical double doors on both sides of a container. When they are opened they create a tunnel. This makes it easy to access and greatly increases the convenience and ease of loading and unloading freight.

Tunnel containers are available in a "one-trip" form that is suitable for many storage or conversion projects. Many customers utilize tunnel containers to build small stores for safe storage by dividing them down the middle.

Easy Access

With two standard double doors at both ends tunnel shipping containers give an easier access to items stored than a normal container with one set of doors. Self-storage companies appreciate them due to the fact that they can make different storage areas for various items. For example, boxes and tools are kept in one area while furniture and machinery is kept in the other.

Tunnel containers are also ideal for businesses who need to store or transport large or bulky items e.g. Car dealerships, construction firms, and manufacturing companies. The dual entry points of tunnel containers mean that the contents of a tunnel container can be loaded and unloaded in a shorter time than the standard container. This can help increase efficiency, reduce costs and avoid costly delays.

The dual access points also make tunnel containers extremely efficient for loading and unloading large items that are too large to fit through a single entrance e.g. furniture, heavy machinery and vehicles. They are able to be used to accommodate forklift ramps and hand dolly ramps which are very useful in busy work environments.

Tunnel containers are weatherproof steel and can be used outdoors in many different locations.

Easy Storage

The capacity to store cargo in a shipping container is among the most significant advantages of tunnels.

This makes it much easier to manage your inventory and saves your time when loading or unloading.

Tunnel containers also come with double doors on both ends walls, making them ideal for cargo storage. This feature can also keep insects out of your storage space. This is essential when you're storing hazardous chemicals or items that are perishable.

Due to their dual entry points, tunnel containers are also perfect for conversion into self-storage units. A shipping container can be divided into two distinct storage areas of 10 feet by creating an internal partition. This is ideal for companies that require the ability to rotate their stock quickly without having to remove it from both ends. Many of our customers use tunnel containers to serve as "passages" during music festivals and other events, allowing them to funnel crowds into specific areas.

The versatility of a shipping container tunnel is what makes it such an effective solution for a wide range of applications. They're able to be converted into anything from portable offices to workshops, warehouses and more. Storage is made simpler by the double-end access seals, weatherproof seals, and the ability to store the container.

Shipping containers are constructed of corrosion-resistant Corten Steel that is able to endure harsh environments as well as frequent transport. They are also able to withstand powerful winds and, when covered with a cover, will shield your belongings from dust, rain and snow.

The insulated walls and roof of a shipping container tunnel also aid in protecting the stored goods and also keep temperatures steady. This is particularly crucial for perishable products or chemicals that could be negatively affected by extremes of temperature. Shipping containers can also keep moisture and dust out, which will increase the life span of your stored items.

Easy Loading & Unloading

When loading cargo into a shipping container tunnel it is important to stack the items vertically whenever feasible and secure them by using straps or load bars. This ensures that when the containers are being transported via rail or sea, the containers don't move and cause damage. It's also a good idea to put heavier items at lower levels of containers and lighter items at top. Keep flammables clear of other objects, and also any items that could be contaminated by liquids.

Double doors at each end of a tunnel container allow easier access to items that are located in the middle, where access to the standard shipping container might be difficult. This makes tunnel containers ideal for storing inventory for both commercial and personal use. Many self-storage businesses use tunnel containers as well. They break them into half to create two smaller stores and provide them easy access from both sides.

Tunnel containers can be modified just as easily as any other shipping container. You can also include windows and lighting depending on what you need. They can also be transformed into offices, workshops or retail spaces.

If you're in the market for a shipping container tunnel or any other type of storage solution, you'll want to conduct a thorough check prior to making a purchase. Also, make sure whether the container is dry and clean and free of tears, holes or scratched. Examine the corner posts for damage and ensure that all locking mechanisms are in good shape.

It is important to consider a number of factors, such as hiring an expert in the field of conversions for shipping containers.

The selection of the appropriate shipping container is an additional process, as it has to be of the same size as the other shipping container you're planning to connect. If the containers are not aligned correctly structural issues could arise. It's important to select an item that is in good condition since older units are more prone to rust or other damage during storage and transport.

Before you purchase a tunnel shipping container, it is important to be aware of what you intend to use it for.
