Tunnel Containers
The main characteristic of tunnel containers as the name suggests, is the dual doors at the two ends of the container. This greatly improves access and makes tunnel containers ideal for storage and goods handling.
They are also popular for conversion into self storage units as you can divide them by adding a partition wall. We have also helped customers use them to house 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 on both sides. It is also known as a 'double-end door container' or a 'tunnel container' These containers allow access to stored items from both ends.
Dual-end access lets cargo be loaded or unloaded from either end of the container. This is ideal for transporting heavier or larger goods that would need to be moved into and out of the box. Double-end access removes the need to empty the entire container in order to get the goods that are hidden inside, saving time and reducing the chance of damage.
This unique feature makes tunnel containers versatile and flexible. They can be used for a diverse range of storage and transport requirements, such as being transformed into living spaces or mobile offices. These containers are constructed of durable, corrosion resistant Corten steel and are able to stand up to the most severe weather conditions.
If you want security we can join steel bulkheads to one of the long sides, creating two separate storage compartments of 10 feet. This makes them ideal for self storage businesses who want to increase security by the items of their customers into separate areas. Our double-end door containers are a favorite at large events as ticket entry points because they can handle long lines of people and keep them dry.
Our 20ft double-door tunnel containers feature fork pockets that are suitable for industrial forklifts. This means that they are able to be stackable or lifted from the corners of each long side. We've also added PIR insulation and heaters to these containers which makes them suitable for storage throughout the year.
If you're looking for a more custom-designed container we can also make custom-sized tunnel containers to meet your exact specifications. We can make containers in double-sided and single-sided models, as well as different lengths. However the custom-sized tunnel containers is more expensive than a standard shipping container, so we suggest choosing the size that is closest to your needs.
Temperature-Sensitive Goods
Most dangerous goods like explosives, flammable liquids, and organic peroxides, must be stored at optimal temperatures. Temperature fluctuations can cause a variety of issues, including flame 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 can often be difficult to detect, especially during a hectic workday. This is why it's essential that container terminals utilize an instrument that provides real-time temperature monitoring across all reefer containers within their facility. This enables personnel to respond promptly to any anomalies, preventing any potential risks.
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 operations during transportation and warehousing. They can also be used to store bulky items such as machinery and vehicles.
shipping container tunnel modified containers are usually constructed from the standard 20 or 40 foot shipping container, the solid end is removed and new double doors is welded into place, resulting in two-way access. These modified containers are often used on construction sites where heavy machinery must be passed over and under.
Some container terminals convert their tunnel shipping containers into secure entrances to their sites with a turnstile installed as users pass through. These conversions, which are not available in standard sizes, can be customized to meet specific requirements. They are also less expensive than building an entire facility. Tunnel containers are usually only available in a "one-trip" model since their owners build them specifically for a specific use and then retain them. They are sought-after by those who want to expand their warehouse or business without having to invest in new refrigeration equipment. 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
If you're looking for storage for your cargo, tunnel containers are a convenient option. They have double doors at both ends, as opposed to a the typical dry storage container that only has a single door. This means you can enter your storage container from either side which allows for more convenient access and quicker loading and unloading of items.
This dual entry point is especially useful when storing items that require frequent access, such as machinery and equipment. This means you won't need to reverse your vehicle into and out of the storage container continuously, which could damage both the container as well as your vehicle.
You can also keep your items in a tunnel container if you want to keep the temperature of a certain level. The thermal and refrigerator tunnel containers are perfect for this as they feature temperature control that keeps the contents at a particular temperature.
In addition to providing easy access for your workers, a tunnel container is a perfect solution for garages or workshops as it permits you to easily reach all areas of your workspace without having to move objects around. The double doors at the ends mean that you can move into and out of your storage container quickly, in the event of need.
One trip tunnel containers can be constructed from new with two sets of double doors or modified from a standard shipping container. In the latter case the solid end of the container is removed, and a set of double doors installed at each end of the container.
These shipping containers are typically only available in new, 'one-trip' condition, as their owners will have created them for a specific reason and won't want to sell them on. However, you are able to purchase refurbished tunnels from companies that offer this specialised container type. The refurbished containers are tested to ensure they are safe for transportation and are available with a warranty that is extended.
Easy Transportation
The double cargo doors on both ends of tunnel containers makes it easy to load and unload 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 commonly used to create temporary tunnels on construction sites due to their durability, security, and the ease of modification.
Shipping containers with double doors are fantastic storage. The ability to access both sides of a container can save you time and money, by removing the need to remove the entire container or section to access the items that are stored in the back. The doors at both ends can be locked to protect unauthorized access.
These containers are made from corten steel and are designed to withstand tough conditions. They're wind and watertight and come with ventilation to ensure that there is enough airflow. These features protect your items from moisture and decrease the chance of loss or loss or.
You can pick from a range of options for a container tunnel based on your requirements. For example open top containers come with a bow-top that is removable, which allows for the easier loading of heavy and large cargo. Side-open containers come with doors that are positioned on the side of the container making them ideal for storage of smaller goods. A refrigerated ISO container, or reefer, has a regulated temperature and can be used to store temperature-sensitive goods.
These containers are available in new and refurbished options in sizes of 20 and 40 feet, with doors on both sides to make loading easy. They can also be customized to meet your individual requirements however, it will cost more than the standard double-end door container.
