10 Things We Do Not Like About Tunnel Containers
Tunnel Containers
As the name implies the most important feature of a tunnel containers is the dual door design on each side of the container. This significantly enhances access and makes them ideal for handling and storage of items.
You can also convert them into self-storage units by adding an enclosure. We have helped customers utilize them for storage of plant machinery and secure site access with turnstiles.
Dual Access
Tunnel containers are modified version of the standard shipping containers with double doors on both ends. Known as a 'double end door container' or tunnel container, these containers provide access to stored items from both ends.
Dual-end access permits cargo to be loaded and unloaded at either end of the container. This is perfect for transporting heavier or bigger objects that must be removed from and into the box. Double-end access eliminates the need to empty the entire container in order to get the goods that are hidden inside, saving time and reducing the risk of damage.
This nifty feature is what makes tunnel containers so versatile and flexible. They can be used for a diverse range of storage and transportation needs, including being converted into living spaces or mobile offices. They are made of tough, corrosion-resistant Corten steel and can stand up to the most severe weather conditions.
If you're looking for a more secure alternative, we can join steel bulkheads to one of the long sides of the container, resulting in two separate 10ft storage compartments. This makes them perfect for self-storage companies that want to increase security by segregating their customer's items into separate areas. Double-end door containers are very popular for large events as ticket entrances because they can handle long lines of people and keep them dry.
Our 20ft double-door tunnels come with fork pockets suitable for large industrial forklifts, which means they can be easily stacked or lifted from the corners of both sides. These containers are also outfitted with heaters and PIR insulation making them ideal for year-round storage.
We can make tunnel containers in customized dimensions to meet your specific specifications if you need a more bespoke solution. We can make containers in single- or double-sided designs, and different lengths. However a custom-sized tunnel container is more expensive than the standard shipping container, so we recommend getting the closest size to your needs.
Temperature-Sensitive Goods
The storage of the most hazardous products like explosives or flammable liquids is best done at optimal temperatures. Temperature fluctuations can lead to many problems, including a flame and 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 identify, especially during a hectic workday. Container terminals should have an instrument to monitor the temperature of all reefer containers in their facility. This allows staff to react promptly to any anomalies, preventing any potential 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, making it easier to load and unload during transportation as well as storage. They can be used to store large items such as machinery or vehicles.
These containers are modified from standard shipping containers of 20 or 40 feet. The solid end is removed, and double doors is welded into place to create two-way access. They are often used on construction sites, where it is necessary to move over and under heavy equipment.
Some container terminals transform their tunnel shipping containers into secure site entrances by installing a turnstile when people pass through. These conversions, which are not available in standard sizes, can be easily modified to meet the specific needs. They are also more affordable than building a complete facility. Tunnel containers are typically only available as a 'new one trip' condition. This is because their owners build them for a specific use and then retain them. They are highly sought-after by those who want to expand their warehouse or business without the need 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
A tunnel container is an excellent option for storing your cargo. These shipping containers have double doors on both sides of the container, in contrast to 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 unload and load goods.
This dual entry point is particularly useful when storing goods that require regular access, like machinery and equipment. This means that you won't have to constantly reverse vehicles to and from the container, which could harm your vehicle as well as the container.
You can also store your goods in a tunnel container when you need to maintain an appropriate temperature. The refrigerator and thermal tunnel containers are perfect for this as they are temperature controlled and keeps the contents at a specific temperature.
A tunnel container is a great solution for a workshop or garage. It allows you to access all areas of your workspace easily without the need to move any furniture. The double doors at each end allow you to get in and out of the storage container quickly if necessary.
One-trip tunnel containers are available as new constructions that come with two sets of double doors, or modified shipping containers. In the latter case the solid end of the container is removed, and a set of double doors is welded to each end of the container.
Shipping containers such as these are typically only available in new , in a condition that is only one-trip, since their owners have built them for a specific reason and don't want them to be sold. However, you can still purchase refurbished tunnel containers from some companies that offer this type of container. The refurbished containers are tested to ensure they are safe to transport and can be sold along with an extended warranty.
Easy Transportation
The double cargo doors at both sides of tunnel containers make it easy to unload and load items from either end. They are perfect for transporting bulk and general cargo, as well as more specific items such as automobiles or motorbikes. These containers are also used as makeshift tunnels at construction sites due their security, durability and the ease of alteration.
Shipping Containers with double doors are extremely useful for storage. The ability to access both sides of the container means that there is no need to completely unload the goods or take a portion of the container in order to access the stuff stored in the back, which will save time and money. Furthermore, the doors at both sides can be locked to stop any unauthorized access.
These containers are extremely robust, and since they're constructed of corten steel they're designed to withstand harsh weather conditions. They're water and wind-proof and come with ventilation to ensure adequate airflow. These features safeguard your goods from moisture and minimize the chance of loss or spoilage.
tunnel storage units can choose a variety of options for a container tunnel depending on your needs. Open top containers, for example, have a bow-top that can be removed to allow loading of large and heavy cargo simpler. Side-open containers are equipped with doors on the sides, which makes them ideal for the storage of small items. A refrigerated ISO container, or reefer, has a regulated temperature and can be used to store temperature-sensitive goods.
The containers are available in new and refurbished models in sizes 20ft and fortyft with doors at both ends for easy loading. These containers can be customized to meet your requirements however, they will cost more than a standard double end door container.
