15 Funny People Working In Tunnel Containers In Tunnel Containers
Tunnel Containers
The main feature of tunnel containers, as the name implies is the dual doors at the two ends of the container. This significantly improves accessibility and makes them ideal for handling and storage of items.
They are also popular for conversion into self storage units as you can divide them by putting up a partition wall. We have also helped clients make use of them to house equipment for their plants and to provide secure site access using turnstiles.
Dual Access
A tunnel container is a modified version of standard shipping containers with double doors on both sides. These containers are also referred to as a "double end door container" or a "tunnel-shaped container". They allow access to the items stored on both ends.
Dual-end access lets cargo be unloaded or loaded from either side of the container. This is a great option for transporting heavier or bigger items that need to be moved into and out of the box. The double-end access makes it unnecessary to unload the entire container to get to goods stored deep inside, which reduces time and minimizes the risk of causing damage during transportation.
This clever feature is what makes tunnel containers so versatile and flexible. They can be used to fulfill a variety of storage and transport requirements, as well as being transformed into mobile offices or living spaces. And because they're made from tough and corrosion-resistant Corten steel, these containers can withstand the most extreme weather conditions.
If you're seeking a more secure option, we can put steel bulkheads to one of the long sides of the container, creating two separate 10ft storage compartments. 20ft tunnel container -storage businesses can use them to separate their customers' belongings in different areas, which increases security. Our double-end door containers are also popular for use as ticket entrances at large events because they're easily able to accommodate lines of people while keeping them dry.
Our new 20ft double-door tunnel containers are fitted with fork pockets suitable for large industrial forklifts, which means they can be easily stackable or lifted from the corners of both long sides. We've also installed PIR insulation and heaters to these containers which makes them suitable for year-round storage.
We can build tunnel containers in customized sizes to meet your exact specifications if you need a more bespoke solution. We can make containers in single- and double-sided variants, as well as different lengths. Custom-sized tunnel containers are more expensive than conventional shipping containers, therefore we recommend choosing the closest size that meets your needs.
Temperature-Sensitive Goods
Most dangerous goods like explosives, flammable liquids and organic peroxides, must be stored at the right temperature. Any fluctuations in temperature can affect their stability, and cause 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 the fluctuations are difficult to detect, particularly in the middle of a busy day. This is why it's crucial that container terminals utilize a system that can provide real-time temperature monitoring across all reefer containers in their facility. This enables personnel to respond quickly to any abnormalities and avoid any risk.
Tunnel containers are a practical option when it comes to transporting and storing temperature-sensitive goods. They are designed with double doors at both ends, which significantly improves accessibility and speeds loading and unloading procedures when warehousing and transportation. They can be used to store large items such as machinery or vehicles.
The modified containers are typically constructed from a standard 20ft or 40ft shipping container, the solid end is taken away and new double doors welded in place, resulting in two-way access. These modified containers are typically employed on construction locations where heavy machinery needs to be able to pass over and under.
Some container terminals also convert their tunnel shipping containers to serve as a secure entry point to the site by installing a turnstile or manually-operated security checkpoints as visitors pass through. While these conversions aren't available in a standard size but they are easily customized to meet specific requirements and are extremely cost-effective when compared to building an entire facility from scratch. Tunnel containers are generally only available in a "one-trip" condition, as their owners create them specifically for a particular purpose and then keep them. This makes them a sought-after product for those who want to expand their business or storage capacity for warehouses without the need to purchase an entirely new refrigerated facility. 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 feature double doors at both ends, as opposed to a standard dry storage container which only has one door. This allows you to access your storage container on either side. This allows you to load and unload items.
This dual entry point is especially useful when storing items that require frequent access, for example, machinery and equipment. This means that you don't need to reverse your vehicle constantly to and from the container, which can harm your vehicle as well as the container.
You can also store your goods in a tunnel container if you require an appropriate temperature. The thermal and refrigerated tunnel containers are ideal for this because they come with temperature controls that will ensure the contents inside are kept at a specific temperature.
A tunnel container is an ideal solution for a workshop or garage. It allows you to access all areas of your work space without having to move furniture. Two doors at either end allow you to quickly get into and out of your storage container if needed.
One-trip tunnel containers can be built from scratch with two sets of double doors or adapted from a standard shipping container. In the second instance, the solid end is removed from the container, and a pair of double doors are attached to each end.
Shipping containers such as these are typically only available in new in a 'one-trip condition' since their owners have built them specifically for a certain purpose and don't want to be sold. Some companies offer renovated tunnel containers. These containers that have been refurbished are tested to ensure that they are safe for transport and are available with a longer warranty.
Easy Transportation
Double cargo doors at both ends of the tunnel container make it easy to load and unload goods from either end. This makes them ideal for the transportation of all kinds of general and bulk cargo, as well as special items like motorbikes and cars. These containers are frequently used to create temporary tunnels on construction sites because of their durability, safety and the ease of modification.
Shipping containers with double doors can be great storage. The ability to access both sides of a container will save you time and money, by removing the requirement to remove the entire container or section to reach the items stored at the back. The doors at both ends can be locked to stop unauthorised access.
These containers are very durable, and because they're made from corten steel, they're designed to endure harsh weather conditions. They're wind and watertight and have ventilation to ensure sufficient airflow. These features can shield items from moisture, decreasing the risk of loss and spoilage.
You can select from a variety of options for a container tunnel depending on your needs. Open top containers, like are equipped with bow-tops that can be removed to enable loading large and heavy cargo more convenient. Side-open containers are equipped with doors on the sides which makes them ideal for storing small goods. A refrigerated ISO container, or reefer, has a regulated temperature and can be used to store temperature-sensitive goods.
They are available in new and refurbished models in sizes of 20 and 40 feet and have doors on both sides to make loading easy. The containers can be customized to meet your requirements but will cost more than a standard double end door container.
