Tunnel Containers: What No One Is Talking About

Tunnel Containers

Like the name suggests the main feature of a tunnel containers is the dual-door design at each end of the container. This significantly enhances access and makes them ideal for storage and handling of goods.

They are also popular for conversion into self-storage units since you can divide them by adding an enclosure wall. We have helped clients make use of them for plant machinery storage and secure access to the site with turnstiles.

Dual Access

A tunnel container is a modified version of the standard shipping containers that have double doors on both ends. Also known as a double end door container' or 'tunnel container' these containers let you access stored items from both ends.

Dual-end access allows cargo to be unloaded or loaded from either side of the container. This is perfect for transporting heavier or bigger objects that must be backed into and out of the box. Double-end access also eliminates the need to unload the entire container to access the items stored within, which can be time-saving and minimizes the risk of causing damage during transportation.

This nifty feature is what makes these tunnel containers so versatile and flexible. They can be used for a broad variety of storage and transportation requirements, including being transformed into living spaces or mobile offices. These containers are made of tough, corrosion-resistant Corten steel and can endure the toughest weather conditions.

If you want a more secure solution, we can weld steel bulkheads onto one of the long sides, resulting in two storage compartments with a total of 10 feet. This makes them perfect for self-storage businesses that are looking to improve security by the items of their customers into separate areas. Double-end door containers are also well-liked as ticket entrances at large events because they are able to easily accommodate lines of people while keeping them dry.

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

If you're after a more custom-designed container we can also make custom-sized tunnel containers to exactly meet your requirements. We can make containers in double-sided and single-sided versions, as well as different lengths. However a custom-sized tunnel container will cost more than a standard shipping container, so we recommend getting the closest size to your requirements.

Temperature-Sensitive Goods

Most dangerous goods, such as explosives, flammable liquids, and organic peroxides, require storage at temperatures that are optimal. Temperature fluctuations can affect their stability, and could cause 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.

Sometimes, these fluctuations can be difficult to detect, particularly during a hectic workday. Container terminals should have a system to monitor the temperature of all reefer containers within their facility. This allows staff to react promptly to any anomalies and avoid any risk.

Tunnel containers are a practical option when it comes to transporting and storing temperature-sensitive goods. They feature double doors at both ends, which increases accessibility and speeds loading and unloading procedures during transportation and warehousing. They can be used to store large objects such as machinery or vehicles.

These containers are typically made from the standard 20 or 40 ft tunnel containers foot shipping container. The solid end is removed and the double doors is welded into place, allowing two-way access. They are popular for use at construction sites, where it is required to pass over and under heavy equipment.

Some container terminals also transform their tunnel shipping containers (company website) to function as a secure entrance to the site by installing a turnstile or an automated security checkpoint when visitors traverse through. Although these conversions aren't offered in standard sizes however, they can be custom-made to suit specific requirements and are extremely cost-effective when compared to building an entire facility from scratch. Tunnel containers are generally only available in a "new one-trip' type. This is because the owners build them to meet a specific need and then keep them. They are highly sought-after by those who want to expand their warehouse or business without having to invest in brand new refrigeration facilities. 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 the ideal container to store your cargo. They have double doors at both ends, unlike the typical dry storage container that only has one door. This allows you to access your storage container from either side. This allows you to unload and load goods.

This dual entry point is particularly beneficial for a container that is used to store items that need frequent access to equipment or machinery equipment. This means that you won't have to constantly reverse vehicles in and out of the container, which could cause damage to your vehicle as well as the container.

You can also keep your items in a tunnel container when you require the temperature of a certain level. The thermal and refrigerator tunnel containers are perfect for this, as they are temperature controlled and keeps the contents at a particular temperature.

In addition to offering easy access for your workers, a tunnel container is an ideal solution for garages or workshops, as it allows you to access every area of your workspace without having to move things around. The double doors at the ends let you move into and out of the storage container quickly in the event of need.

One-trip tunnel containers are available 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. A pair of double doors are welded to each end.

The shipping containers are generally only available in brand new"one-trip" condition, as their owners will have built them for a specific purpose and won't want to sell them on. Some companies are still offering renovated tunnel containers. The refurbished containers have been inspected to ensure they are safe for transportation and come with an extended warranty for additional security.

Easy Transportation

The double cargo doors on both ends of tunnel containers makes it easy to unload and load items from either end. These containers are ideal for transporting general and bulk cargo, as well as more specific objects like automobiles or motorbikes. These containers are frequently used to build temporary tunnels on construction sites due to their durability, safety, and the ease of modification.

Shipping containers with double doors make for fantastic storage. The ability to gain access to both sides of a container will save you time and money, by removing the necessity of removing the entire container or a section to access the items stored at the back. Additionally, the doors on both ends can be locked to stop unauthorised access.

These containers are made from corten steel and are designed to stand up to harsh conditions. These containers are water and wind-proof, and feature ventilation to ensure that airflow is maintained. These features protect your goods from moisture and decrease the risk of loss or spoilage.

You can pick from a range of options for a container tunnel based on your requirements. For example open top containers feature a removable bow-top that allows for easier loading of large and heavy cargo. Side open containers have doors that are positioned on the sides of the container, making them ideal for storage of smaller items. 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 models in sizes of 40 ft tunnel containers and 20 feet, with doors at both ends for easy loading. The containers can be customized to meet your specific needs, but will cost more than a standard double door container.
