Why Shipping Container Tunnel Is Tougher Than You Think

Shipping Container Tunnel

Shipping container tunnel, also known as double door containers, come with normal double doors on both ends of the container, which creates a tunnel when opened. This allows easy access and greatly improves the ease of loading and unloading cargo.

Tunnel containers are available in a new "one-trip" condition and are suitable to complete a variety of conversion and storage projects. They are used by many customers to create small, storage spaces that are secure by splitting the middle.

Easy Access

With two standard double doors at both ends, tunnel shipping containers offer the most convenient access to items stored than a standard container with one set of doors. Self-storage companies love them because they can create different storage areas for different objects. For instance, boxes and tools are stored in one section while furniture and other equipment is stored in another.

Tunnel containers are also suitable for companies that require storage or transport of large or bulky objects e.g. Car dealerships, construction firms, and manufacturing companies. Their dual entry points mean that the contents of a tunnel container can be loaded and unloaded in a shorter amount of time than the standard container. This can help increase efficiency, reduce costs and prevent costly delays.

The dual access points make tunnel containers incredibly useful for loading and unloading large objects that are too big to fit through a single door e.g. furniture, heavy machinery and vehicles. They are able to be used to accommodate forklift ramps and hand dolly ramps that are extremely beneficial in busy work environments.

Tunnel containers are weatherproof and can be used outdoors in a variety of different locations. A lot of our customers use tunnel containers to keep their guests and staff safe from the elements of wind and rain during security checks for big events like festivals and concerts. Two tunnel containers placed end-to-end can keep dozens out of the rain and wind while they wait to be checked in or scanned.

Recently, we renovated two tunnel containers into a cozy gift shop to an historic railway site. The tunnel for the shipping container was equipped with double sockets and lighting for year-round usage, using PIR insulation and heaters.

However, before you start building your home in a tunnel it's important to understand that the process of converting and remodeling an existing shipping container isn't as simple as simply building walls. You should consider a variety of factors, such as hiring an expert in shipping container conversions.

Choosing the right shipping container is an additional step, since it has to be of the same size as the other shipping container you're planning to connect. If the containers aren't aligned correctly structural issues could arise. It is essential to choose containers that are in good shape because older containers are more prone to rust or other damage during storage and transport.
