Tunnel Containers: What's The Only Thing Nobody Is Talking About
Tunnel Containers
The main characteristic of tunnel containers as the name implies is the double doors at the two ends of the container. This significantly improves accessibility and makes them ideal for storage and handling.
They are popular for converting into self-storage units since they can be divided by putting up walls to divide them. We have also assisted customers make use of them to house equipment for their plants and to provide secure access to the site with turnstiles.
Dual Access
Tunnel containers are modified version of standard shipping containers with double doors at both ends. These containers are also known as a "double door end container" or a "tunnel-shaped container". They allow access to the items stored at both ends.
Dual-end access lets cargo be loaded or unloaded from either side of the container. This is a great option for transporting heavier or larger goods that would need to be removed from and into the box. Double-end access eliminates the need to empty the entire container in order to get the goods that are hidden inside, which saves time and reducing the chance of damage.
This nifty feature is what makes tunnel containers so versatile and flexible. They can be used for a diverse range of storage and transportation requirements, such as being transformed into living spaces or mobile offices. These containers are constructed of rugged, corrosion resistant Corten steel and are able to withstand even the most extreme weather conditions.
If you are looking for a more secure solution We can weld steel bulkheads onto one of the long sides, resulting in two storage compartments with a total of 10ft. This makes them ideal for self storage businesses who are looking to improve security by segregating their customer's items into individual areas. Our double-end door containers are popular for use for large events as ticket entrances because they can hold large crowds and keep them dry.
Our new 20ft double door tunnel containers come with fork pockets that are suitable for industrial forklifts. This means they can be easily stacked or lifted at the corners of each long side. These containers are also outfitted with heaters and PIR insulation which makes them ideal for year-round storage.
If you're after a more custom-designed container we can also make custom-sized tunnel containers to meet your exact specifications. We can produce containers in single- or double-sided designs, and different lengths. Custom-sized tunnel containers are more expensive than standard shipping containers, so we suggest choosing the smallest size that is suitable for your needs.
Temperature-Sensitive Goods
The storage of the most dangerous products like explosives or liquids that ignite is best done at optimal temperatures. Any temperature fluctuations could alter their stability, and lead to a 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.
These fluctuations are often difficult to detect, especially during the busy hours of a day. Container terminals should have an instrument to keep track of the temperature of all reefer containers at their facility. This allows staff to react quickly in case of any anomalies and to avoid any risk.
Tunnel containers are a practical option when it comes to transporting and storing temperature-sensitive goods. Double doors are found at both ends of the container, which makes it easier to load and unload during transportation and storage. They can be used to store large items like vehicles or machinery.
The modified containers are typically 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. They are popular for use on construction sites, where it is necessary to pass over and under heavy equipment.
Some container terminals transform their tunnel shipping containers into secure entrances for their site with a turnstile installed as users pass through. These conversions, not available in standard sizes, can be customized to meet the needs of specific customers. They are also less expensive than building a whole facility. Tunnel containers are generally only available as a 'new one-time use condition. This is because the owners build them to meet a specific need and then retain them. 20 ft tunnel containers makes them a highly sought-after product for those who want to increase their business' or warehouse storage capacity without having to invest in 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
Tunnel containers are an ideal option to store your cargo. These shipping containers feature double doors at both ends, unlike traditional dry storage containers that only has one door. This lets you access your storage container from either side. This allows you to load and unload items.
This dual entry point is particularly beneficial for storage containers that is used to store items you need frequent access to like machinery or equipment. This means that you won't have to continuously reverse vehicles in and out of the container, which can cause damage to your vehicle as well as the container.
You can also use a tunnel container to store items that you need to keep at a particular temperature. The refrigerated and thermal tunnel containers are great for this because they come with temperature controls to ensure that the items stored in them are kept at a certain 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 the need to move any furniture. Dual doors at either end let you quickly get into and out of your storage container if needed.
One-trip tunnel containers can be constructed from scratch using two sets of double doors, or modified from a standard shipping container. In the latter scenario the solid end of the container is removed and a set of double doors installed at each end of the container.
The shipping containers are generally only available in new"one-trip" condition, as their owners will have created them for a specific reason and will not want to sell them on. However, you are able to purchase refurbished tunnels from companies that provide this particular type of container. These refurbished containers have been inspected to ensure they are safe for transportation and are sold with a warranty that is extended for additional security.
Easy Transportation
Double cargo doors at both ends of the tunnel container make it easy to unload and load goods from either end. They are perfect for transporting general and bulk cargo, as well as specific objects like automobiles or motorbikes. These containers are also often used as makeshift tunnels at construction sites due to their security, durability and flexibility to modify.
Shipping containers with double doors make for excellent storage. The ability to open both sides of a container can save you time and money, by removing the necessity of removing the entire container or a section to reach the items that are stored in the back. The doors at both ends can also be locked to prevent unauthorized access.
These containers are constructed of corten steel and are designed to stand up to harsh conditions. They're water and wind-proof and are equipped with ventilation to ensure sufficient airflow. These features protect goods from moisture, decreasing the risk of loss and spoilage.
Based on your needs, you can choose from several options for a tunnel container. Open top containers, like they have bow-tops that can be removed to make loading heavy and large cargo more convenient. Side-open containers have doors that are set on the sides of the container which makes 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 new and refurbished sizes of 40 and 20 feet and have doors at both ends to facilitate loading. They can also be customized to meet your specific requirements however this will cost more than the standard double-end door containers.
