The Top Reasons People Succeed In The Tunnel Containers Industry
Tunnel Containers
As the name implies the most important feature of a tunnel container is the dual-door design at each end of the container. This greatly increases access, making them ideal for storage and handling.
You can also turn them into self-storage units by adding the partition. We have also helped customers utilize them to store plant machinery and provide secure access to the site with turnstiles.
Dual Access
A tunnel container is an altered version of the standard shipping container that has double doors at both ends. These containers are also known as a "double end door container" or a "tunnel-shaped container". They provide access to the storage items on both ends.
The dual-end access allows for cargo to be loaded and unloaded from either side of the container, which is ideal when you're moving larger or bulkier goods which would otherwise have to be backed in and out of the container. The double-end access eliminates the need to unload the entire container in order to access the goods that are stored within, which can be time-saving and reduces the risk of damage during transportation.
This clever feature is what makes these tunnel containers so flexible and versatile. They can be used for a diverse range of storage and transport requirements, such as being transformed into living spaces or mobile offices. These containers are constructed of rugged, corrosion resistant Corten steel that can endure the toughest weather conditions.
If you're looking for an extra secure solution We can weld steel bulkheads onto one of the long sides, resulting in two separate storage compartments of 10 feet. This makes them ideal for self-storage businesses that are looking to improve security by separating their customers' items into distinct areas. Our double end door containers are also popular for use as ticket entrances at large events, since they are able to easily accommodate crowds of people while keeping them dry.
Our new 20ft double-door tunnel containers are fitted with fork pockets designed for industrial forklifts that are large, which means they can be easily stacked or lifted from the corners of both long sides. These containers are also outfitted with heaters and PIR insulation making them ideal for storage during the entire year.
We can build tunnel containers with customized dimensions to meet your specific specifications if you require an additional bespoke solution. We can make them in double-sided and single-sided models, as well as different lengths. However a custom-sized tunnel container will be more expensive than a standard shipping container, so we suggest selecting the one that is closest to your needs.
Temperature-Sensitive Goods
The most dangerous products, such as explosives, flammable liquids, and organic peroxides require storage at optimal temperatures. Temperature fluctuations can lead to many problems, such as fire 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.
In many cases the fluctuations are difficult to spot, especially during a hectic workday. This is why it's essential that container terminals use an instrument that provides real-time temperature monitoring of all reefer containers inside 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 greatly enhances accessibility and expedites loading and unloading processes during transportation and warehousing. They can also be used to store bulky objects such as vehicles and machinery.
These modified containers are usually made from a standard 20ft or 40ft shipping container, the solid end is removed, and new double doors welded in place, resulting in two-way access.
