20 Up-And-Comers To Follow In The Tunnel Containers Industry
Tunnel Containers
The key characteristic of tunnel containers, as the name implies, is the dual door design at both ends of the container. This significantly improves accessibility, making tunnel containers ideal for storage and handling.
They are also popular for converting into self storage units because you can divide them by constructing a partition wall. We have helped customers make use of them to store plant machinery and secure access to the site with turnstiles.
Dual Access
A tunnel container is a modified version of the standard shipping containers with double doors on both ends. These containers are also referred to as a "double end door container" or a "tunnel-shaped container". They allow access to the stored items on both ends.
The dual-end access allows cargo to be loaded and unloaded from both sides of the container, which is ideal when you're moving larger or bulkier goods that otherwise would need to be backed in and out of the container. Double-end access eliminates the need to empty the entire container in order to get the goods that are hidden within, thereby saving time and reducing the risk of damage.
This innovative feature makes tunnel container s adaptable and flexible. They can be used to meet 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 are able to endure even the harshest weather conditions.
If you want a more secure solution We can weld steel bulkheads onto one of the long sides, creating two separate storage compartments of 10ft. This makes them perfect for self storage businesses who want to increase security by segregating their customer's items into distinct areas. Double-end door containers are very popular at large events as ticket entrances because they can hold large crowds and keep them dry.
Our new 20ft double-door tunnel containers are fitted with fork pockets that are suitable for industrial forklifts that are large, which means they can be easily stacked or lifted from the corners of both long sides. We've also added PIR insulation and heaters to these containers which makes them suitable for storage all year round.
We can build tunnel containers in customized sizes to meet your exact specifications if you need an additional bespoke solution. We can make containers in double-sided and single-sided models, as well as different lengths. However, a custom-sized tunnel container will be more expensive than an ordinary shipping container, so we recommend selecting the one that is closest to your requirements.
Temperature-Sensitive Goods
The storage of the most dangerous items such as explosives or flammable liquids should be handled at the right temperature. Any temperature fluctuations could affect their stability, and could cause a combustion 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 identify, especially during a hectic workday. Container terminals need an instrument to monitor the temperature of all reefer containers within their facility. This gives personnel the ability to react quickly in case of any abnormalities and prevent any risks that could arise.
Tunnel containers are a practical option when it comes to transporting and storing temperature-sensitive goods. Double doors are located at both ends of the container, which makes it easier to load and unload during transportation as well as storage. They can also be used to store bulky objects such as machinery and vehicles.
The modified containers are typically made from the standard 20 or 40 foot shipping container, the solid end is removed and the double doors are welded in place, allowing two-way access. These modified containers are often used on construction sites where heavy machinery has to be passed over and under.
Some container terminals also convert their tunnel shipping containers to be used as a secure site entrance with a turnstile, or a manually-operated security checkpoints as visitors traverse through. These conversions, which aren't available in standard sizes, can be customized to meet the needs of specific customers. They are also less expensive than building an entire facility. Tunnel containers are typically only available in a brand new 'one trip' condition, as their owners create them specifically for a specific use and then retain them. This makes them a highly sought-after product for those wanting to expand their business or storage capacity in warehouses without having to invest in a brand 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
If you're looking for a storage space for your cargo, a tunnel container is a convenient option. These containers come with double doors on both sides of the container, unlike standard dry storage containers which have a door on one end. This means you can enter the storage container from both sides and have easier access and faster loading and unloading of items.
This dual entry point is particularly beneficial when storing goods that require regular access, like machinery and equipment. This means you don't have to shift your vehicle in and out of the storage container constantly which could cause damage to the container and your vehicle.
You can also use a tunnel container to store items that you need to keep at a certain temperature. The refrigerated and thermal tunnel containers are perfect for this because they come with temperature controls to ensure that the goods stored inside are kept at a particular temperature.
In addition to offering an easy access to the inside of a tunnel container, it is a great solution for a garage or workshop as it permits you to easily reach every area of your workspace without the need to move things around. Dual doors at either end let you quickly access and exit your storage container if needed.
One trip tunnel containers can be built from new with two sets of double doors, or adapted from a standard shipping container. In the second scenario the solid end is removed from the container, and a pair of double doors are attached to each end.
Containers for shipping are usually only available as new in a 'one-trip condition' because their owners have built them specifically for a certain purpose and don't want to be sold. Some companies offer refurbished tunnel containers. These containers that have been refurbished are tested to ensure they are safe for transport and are sold with an extended warranty.
Easy Transportation
Double cargo doors at both ends of the tunnel container make it easy to load and unload items from either end. This makes these containers ideal for carrying all kinds of general and bulk cargo, as well as special items like motorbikes and cars. These containers are also often used as tunnels in the form of makeshift ones at construction sites due their security, durability and the ease of alteration.
Shipping containers with double doors make for great storage. The ability to access both sides of the container means that there is no necessity to completely empty 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. The doors at both ends can also be locked to prevent any unauthorized access.
These containers are very robust, and since they're made from corten steel, they're designed to endure harsh weather conditions. They're wind and watertight and are equipped with ventilation to ensure that there is enough airflow. These features protect items from moisture, making it less likely for them to suffer from loss and deterioration.
You can choose a variety of options for a container tunnel depending on your requirements. For instance open top containers feature a removable bow-top that allows for easier loading of heavy and large cargo. Side-open containers have doors on the sides which makes them ideal for storage of 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 versions in sizes of 40 and 20 feet and have doors at both ends to facilitate loading. They can also be custom sized to meet your specific requirements, but it will cost more than the standard double-end door containers.
