Tunnel Containers - How to Load a Shipping Container
Tunnel containers are shipping containers that have double doors on both ends rather than one end. They can be purchased as brand new containers that are 'one-trip' or converted second-hand storage containers.
The dual access points make them ideal for storage of equipment and other items. Items can be picked up easily from either side, without having to move the items. Tunnel containers can also be partitioned in the middle to create two storage units that are secure when needed.

When it comes to loading shipping containers, a well-organized method can make all the difference. It will protect your objects, avoid damage and maximize space. Containers can be filled in a variety of ways based on what's being stored or shipped. You can stack boxes vertically in order to increase their height.
