Shipping Container Tunnel
Shipping container tunnels, also known as double end doors, have typical double doors on both sides of a container. When opened, they create tunnels. This allows easy access and greatly enhances the convenience of loading and unloading cargo.
Tunnel containers are available in new "one-trip" condition and are suitable to complete a variety of conversion and storage projects. Many clients use tunnel containers to build small stores for secure storage - simply by partitioning down the middle.
Easy Access
Tunnel shipping containers come with two double doors at each end making it much easier to access stored items than a container that has only one set of doors. This makes them incredibly popular with self storage companies who utilize them to create separate storage areas for various types of items - for instance boxes and tools in one section and furniture or machines in the other.
Tunnel containers are ideal for businesses that need to store large or bulky objects, e.g. construction firms, car dealerships and manufacturing companies. Their dual entry points means that the contents of a tunnel container may be unloaded and loaded in a shorter time than a standard container. This improves efficiency, lowers costs and avoids costly delays.
The dual access points also make tunnel containers extremely convenient for loading and unloading large items that are too large to fit through a single door e.g. furniture, heavy machinery and vehicles. container tunnel features are able to be used to accommodate forklift ramps and hand dolly ramps which are very useful in busy workplaces.

Recently, we transformed two tunnel containers into a cozy gift shop to an historic railway site.

The customer was so happy with the results, that they ordered a second container to build a larger shop!

Easy Storage
The ability to store cargo in a shipping container is one of the most important features of tunnels. Tunnel containers are much easier to store than standard containers that require you to unload the entire box to get to the rear. This makes it easier to manage inventory and also saves time when loading/unloading.
Tunnel containers also have double doors on both ends walls, making them ideal for storage of cargo. This feature will also keep pests away from your storage. This is important if you are storing perishable items or hazardous chemicals.
Tunnel containers are great for self-storage units because of their dual entry points. A shipping container can be divided into two distinct storage areas of 10 feet by adding an internal partition. This is ideal for businesses that require the ability to rotate their stock easily without having to unload from both ends. Tunnel containers are also utilized by a lot of our customers as 'passageways' at music events and festivals which help to direct crowds through a specific gap or space.
Ultimately, the versatility of the shipping container tunnel is what makes it such an efficient solution for a wide range of applications. They can be transformed into portable offices, workshops, warehouses, and more. For storage, their double-end access and weatherproof seals help to restrict movement within the container, minimizing the chance of damage.
Shipping containers are made of corrosion-resistant Corten Steel, which means they can be used in harsh environments as well as frequent transport. They can also withstand high winds, and if covered, will shield your belongings from rain, snow and dust.
The walls and roof of the tunnel for shipping containers are insulated to help keep temperatures stable, while protecting your stored goods. This is especially crucial for perishable items or chemicals that can be affected adversely by extremes of temperature. Shipping containers can keep moisture and dust out as well which can significantly increase the longevity of the stored items.
Easy Loading & Unloading
It is important to stack cargo vertically inside a shipping tunnel, and then anchor it with straps or load bars. This will ensure that when the containers are being transported via rail or sea, the containers won't move around and cause damage. It's a good idea also to put heavier items at the bottom of the container and lighter items at the top. Keep flammables out of other items, as well as anything that might be contaminated by liquids.
Double doors at each end of a tunnel container allows easier access to items in the middle, where access to a standard shipping container may be difficult to access. Tunnel containers are great to store inventory for both personal and commercial use. They are also used by many self-storage businesses that partition them in the middle to create two smaller stores, which gives them easy access from both sides (where the standard container could only have one entry point).
Tunnel containers can be modified as easily as any other shipping container. You can also add windows and lighting, depending on the requirements. They can also be converted into offices, workshops or retail spaces.
It is recommended to do a thorough check prior to buying any storage solution. You should also check that the container is clean and dry and free of holes, tears or scratched. Also, you should inspect the corners of the posts to ensure they're not damaged. Also, make sure that all locking mechanisms are intact. You'll also want to ensure that the container has an appropriate CSC plate and is able to be loaded for international transportation.
