Tunnel Containers: It's Not As Difficult As You Think

Tunnel Containers

As the name implies the main feature of a tunnel containers is the dual door design at the opposite end of the container. This greatly increases access, making them ideal for storage and goods handling.

They can also be converted into self-storage units with the addition of an enclosure. We have also assisted customers utilize them to store plant machinery and provide secure access to the site with turnstiles.

Dual Access

A tunnel container is a modified version of standard shipping containers that have double doors at both ends. It is also known as a 'double-end door container' or tunnel container, These containers allow access to stored items from both ends.

The dual-end access permits cargo to be loaded and unloaded from both sides of the container. This is ideal if you're transporting larger or bulkier goods which would otherwise have to be backed in and out of the container. Double-end access removes the need to empty the entire container in order to access the items that are buried inside, which saves time and reducing the risk of damage.

This nifty feature is what makes tunnel containers so flexible and versatile. They can be used to satisfy a variety of storage and transport needs and can also be transformed into mobile offices or living spaces. These containers are made of tough, corrosion-resistant Corten steel that can withstand even the most extreme weather conditions.

If you're looking for a more secure option, we can put steel bulkheads to one of the long sides of the container, resulting in two separate storage compartments measuring 10 feet. This makes them perfect for self storage businesses who want to increase security by the items of their customers into individual areas. Our double end door containers are also popular as ticket entrances for large events, as they're easily able to handle crowds while keeping them dry.

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

We can make tunnel containers in custom dimensions to meet your specific specifications if you require an additional bespoke solution. We can manufacture containers in single- and double-sided variants and in a variety of lengths. However the custom-sized tunnel containers will be more expensive than a standard shipping container, so we suggest selecting the one that is closest to your requirements.

Temperature-Sensitive Goods

The most dangerous products including explosives, flammable liquids, and organic peroxides, must be stored at the right temperature. Temperature fluctuations can lead to various problems, including a explosion 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 are often difficult to spot, particularly in a busy workday. Container terminals need a system to monitor the temperature of all reefer containers within their facility. This gives personnel the ability to react quickly in the event of any abnormalities and prevent any risk.

Tunnel containers are a practical option when it comes to transporting and storing temperature-sensitive goods. They have double doors at both ends, which greatly enhances accessibility and expedites loading and unloading procedures during transportation and warehousing. They can be used to store large objects like vehicles and machinery.

These modified containers are usually made from the standard 20 or 40 foot shipping container. The solid end is removed, and new double doors is welded into place, creating two-way access. They are often used on construction sites, where it is necessary to pass over and under heavy machinery.

Some container terminals also transform their tunnel shipping containers to be used as a secure site entrance with a turnstile, or a manual security checkpoint as users go through. These conversions, which aren't available in standard sizes, can be customized to meet specific requirements. They are also more affordable than building a whole facility. Tunnel containers are generally only available as a 'new one trip' condition. This is due to the fact that their owners construct them to meet a specific need and then retain them. This makes them a highly sought-after product for those looking to increase their business or warehouse storage capacity without the need to purchase 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

A tunnel container is an excellent option for storing your cargo. These containers have double doors at both ends, unlike traditional dry storage containers that only has a single door. This means that you can get into your storage container from either side 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 won't need to shift your vehicle in and out of the storage container on a regular basis which could cause damage to the container as well as your vehicle.

You can also keep your items in a tunnel container if you need to maintain an appropriate temperature. The refrigerated and thermal tunnel containers are perfect for this since they have temperature controls to ensure that the goods stored inside are kept at a certain temperature.

In addition to allowing an easy access, a tunnel container is a perfect solution for a workshop or garage because it allows you to access every area of your workspace without the need to move objects around. The two doors at each end also allow you to get in and out of the storage container quickly in the event of need.

One-trip tunnel containers can be built from scratch using two sets of double doors, or adapted from a conventional shipping container. In the latter, the solid end of the container is removed, and the double doors are welded in place at each end of the container.

Shipping containers such as these are typically only available in new , in a condition that is only one-trip, because their owners have built them specifically for a certain reason and don't want them to be sold. Some companies offer recycled tunnel containers. These containers that have been refurbished are tested to ensure that they are safe to transport and can be sold along with a longer warranty.

Easy Transportation

The double cargo doors on both sides of a tunnel container allow you to easily unload and load items from either end. They are perfect for transporting bulk and general cargo, as well as specific objects like automobiles or motorbikes. These containers are also used as tunnels for temporary use at construction sites due their durability, safety and the ease of alteration.

Shipping Containers with double doors are very convenient for storage purposes. The ability to access both sides of the container eliminates the need to completely unload the goods or take a portion of the container in order to access the contents stored in the back, which will save time and money. Furthermore, the doors at both ends can be locked to prevent any unauthorized access.

These containers are made from corten steel and are designed to withstand harsh conditions. These containers are water and wind-proof, and feature ventilation to ensure that airflow is maintained. These features protect items from moisture, making it less likely for them to suffer from loss and spoilage.

You can choose a variety of options for a container tunnel based on your requirements. For instance open top containers come with a bow-top that is removable, which allows for the easier loading of large and heavy cargo. 40 ft tunnel container -open containers come with doors that are set on the sides of the container making them ideal for the storage of smaller goods. A refrigerated ISO container, or reefer, has a regulated temperature and can be used to store temperature-sensitive goods.

The containers are available in refurbished and new models in sizes of 20 and 40 feet with doors on both ends to allow for easy loading. They can also be custom sized to suit your unique needs however this will cost more than the standard double-end door container.
