Tunnel Containers: 11 Thing You've Forgotten To Do

Tunnel Containers

As the name implies, the key feature of tunnel container is the dual-door design at each end of the container. This significantly improves accessibility and makes them ideal for storage and handling.

You can also convert them into self-storage units with the addition of a partition. We have assisted customers to use them to store plant machinery and secure site access with turnstiles.

Dual Access

A tunnel container is an alternative to the typical shipping container, with double doors at both ends. These containers are also referred to as a "double door end container" or a "tunnel-shaped container". They provide access to the items stored on both ends.

Dual-end access permits cargo to be loaded or unloaded from either end of the container. This is perfect for transporting larger or heavier objects that must be backed into and out of the box. Double-end access also makes it unnecessary to unload the entire container in order to get to goods stored deep within, which can be time-saving and reduces the risk of damage during transport.

This innovative feature makes tunnel containers adaptable and flexible. They can be used to satisfy a variety of storage and transport needs and can also be converted into mobile offices or living spaces. And because they're made from rugged and corrosion-resistant Corten steel, these containers can withstand the harshest weather conditions.

If you're seeking a more secure option, we can put steel bulkheads to one of the long sides of the container, resulting in two separate storage compartments of 10 feet. Self-storage companies can use bulkheads to separate customers' belongings into distinct areas, increasing security. Our double-end door containers are popular for use at large events as ticket entry points because they can handle long lines of people and keep them dry.

Our 20ft double-door tunnel containers come with fork pockets suitable for industrial forklifts that are large, which means they can be easily stacked or lifted from the corners of both sides. We've also fitted PIR insulation and heaters to these containers, making them suitable for year-round storage.

We can manufacture tunnel containers with customized sizes to meet your precise specifications if you need an even more customized solution. We can produce them in single- or double-sided versions, and different lengths. However the custom-sized tunnel containers will cost more than an ordinary shipping container, so we recommend choosing the size that is closest to your requirements.

Temperature-Sensitive Goods

The most dangerous products like explosives, flammable liquids, and organic peroxides, must be stored at temperatures that are optimal. Temperature fluctuations can cause a variety of 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.

These fluctuations can often be difficult to identify, particularly during a hectic workday. This is the reason it's vital that container terminals use an instrument that provides real-time temperature monitoring of all reefer containers in their facility. This allows personnel the ability to react quickly in case of any issues and also to prevent any potential risks.

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 increases accessibility and speeds loading and unloading operations when warehousing and transportation. They can also be used to store bulky objects, such as vehicles and machinery.

These modified containers are made from regular shipping containers that measure 20 or 40 feet. The solid end is removed, and double doors is welded into place to create two-way access. These modified containers are often used on construction sites where heavy machinery must be moved over and under.

Some container terminals even convert their tunnel shipping containers to serve as a secure site entrance with a turnstile, or a manually-operated security checkpoints as visitors pass through. Although these conversions aren't offered in standard sizes but they are easily made to meet the specific needs of the customer and are highly cost effective when compared to building an entire facility from scratch. Tunnel containers are usually only available in a "new one-time use condition. This is due to the fact that their owners construct them for a specific use and then retain them. They are therefore highly sought-after by those who wish to expand their business or warehouse 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 ideal option to store your cargo. These shipping containers feature double doors at both ends, as opposed to a the typical dry storage container that only has a single door. This means that you are able to access your storage container from either side which allows for more convenient access and quicker loading and unloading of goods.

This dual entry point can be particularly beneficial when storing goods that require frequent access, such as machinery and equipment. This means you won't need to reverse your vehicle into and out of the storage container continuously and risk damaging both the container and your vehicle.

You can also use a tunnel container to store things that you want to keep at a certain temperature. The refrigerator and thermal tunnel containers are great for this since they have temperature control that will keep the goods inside at a specific temperature.

A tunnel container is a fantastic solution for a garage or workshop. It lets you access all areas of your work space without having to move any furniture. Dual doors at each end allow you to quickly enter and exit your storage container when needed.

One-trip tunnel containers are offered as new constructions with two sets of double doors, or modified shipping containers. In the second scenario, the solid end is removed from the container and a pair of double doors is welded to each end.

Shipping 20ft tunnel containers as these are typically only available in new in a 'one-trip condition' since their owners have built them for a specific purpose and don't want them to be sold. However, you can purchase refurbished tunnels from a few companies who offer this type of container. These containers that have been refurbished are tested to ensure they are safe to transport and can be sold along with a longer warranty.

Easy Transportation

The double cargo doors on both ends of a tunnel container make it easy to load and unload items from either end. This makes them ideal for the transportation of all kinds of general and bulk cargo, including special goods such as motorbikes or cars. These containers are frequently used to create temporary tunnels on construction sites because of their durability, safety, and flexibility in modifying.

Shipping Containers with double doors are also ideal for storage. Being able to access both sides of the container means that there is no need to completely unload goods or remove a section of the container to reach the items stored in the back, which could save time and money. Additionally, the doors on both sides can be locked to prevent unauthorized entry.

These containers are made from corten steel and are designed to stand up to harsh conditions. They are water- and wind-proof and have ventilation to allow airflow. These features can protect your goods from moisture and reduce the chance of loss or spoilage.

You can choose a variety of options for a container tunnel based on your needs. Open top containers, like, have a bow-top that can be removed to make loading heavy and large cargo simpler. Side-open containers have doors on the sides which makes them ideal for storage of small items. A refrigerated ISO container, or reefer, has a regulated temperature and can be used to store temperature-sensitive goods.

These containers are available in new and refurbished models in sizes of 20 and 40 feet with doors on both sides to allow for easy loading. They can also be customized to meet your specific requirements, but this will cost more than a standard double-end door container.
