Tunnel Containers
The main feature of tunnel containers, as the name implies is the dual doors at the two ends of the container. This greatly improves access, making tunnel containers ideal for storage and goods handling.
They are also popular for conversion into self storage units as they can be divided by adding an enclosure wall. 40ft tunnel container have assisted customers to make use of them for plant machinery storage and for secure access to sites using turnstiles.
Dual Access
A tunnel container is an altered version of the typical shipping container, with double doors at both ends. These containers are also known as a "double end door container" or a "tunnel-shaped container". They allow access to the items stored on both ends.
Dual-end access allows cargo to be unloaded or loaded from either side of the container. This is ideal for transporting heavier or bigger goods that would need to be removed from and into the box. Double-end access eliminates the requirement to empty the entire container in order to access the items that are buried inside, saving time and reducing the chance of damage.
This unique feature makes tunnel containers versatile and flexible. They can be used to satisfy a variety of storage and transport needs as well as be converted into mobile offices or living spaces. These containers are made of durable, corrosion resistant Corten steel that can stand up to the most severe weather conditions.
If you're looking for a safer alternative, we can join steel bulkheads to one of the long sides of the container, creating two separate storage compartments of 10 feet. Self-storage businesses can use them to divide their customers' belongings in different areas, thereby increasing security. Double-end door containers are also popular for use as ticket entrances for large events, as they can easily handle crowds while keeping them dry.
Our new 20ft double-door tunnel containers are fitted with fork pockets suitable for large industrial forklifts which means they can be easily stackable or lifted from the corners of both sides. We've also added PIR insulation and heaters to these units which allows them to be used for storage all year round.
We can build tunnel containers in customized sizes to meet your exact specifications if you require a more bespoke solution. We can manufacture them in both double-sided and single-sided models, as well as different lengths. However a custom-sized tunnel container will cost more than an ordinary shipping container, so we recommend getting the closest size to your needs.
Temperature-Sensitive Goods
The most dangerous products, such as explosives, flammable liquids and organic peroxides require storage at temperatures that are optimal. Any temperature fluctuations could affect their stability, and could cause a fire or release 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 spot, especially during the midst of a busy workday. Container terminals should have a system to keep track of the temperature of all reefer containers in 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 are designed with double doors at both ends, which greatly improves accessibility and speeds loading and unloading operations during transportation and warehousing. They can also be used to store bulky objects like vehicles and machinery.
These modified containers are made from typical shipping containers of 20ft or 40ft. The solid end is removed, and the double door set is put in place to create two-way access. They are a popular choice on construction sites where it is necessary to pass over and under heavy machinery.
Certain container terminals convert their tunnel shipping containers into secure entrances for their site by installing a turnstile when people pass through. Although these conversions aren't offered in a standard size, they can be easily customized to meet specific requirements and are highly cost effective compared to constructing an entire facility from scratch. Tunnel containers are typically only available in a "one-trip" condition, as their owners create them specifically for a specific purpose and then keep them. They are therefore highly sought-after by those who wish to expand their warehouse or business without the need to purchase 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
A tunnel container is the ideal container to store your cargo. These containers have double doors at both ends, unlike the typical dry storage container that only has one door. This means you can get into the storage container from both sides which allows for more convenient access and faster loading and unloading of goods.
This dual entry point is particularly useful when storing goods that require regular access, like machinery and equipment. This means that you don't have to turn your vehicle around and out of the storage container constantly which could cause damage to the container and your vehicle.
You can also keep your items in a tunnel container when you need to maintain a certain temperature. The thermal and refrigerated tunnel containers are ideal for this because they come with temperature controls that ensure the goods stored inside are kept at a certain temperature.
In addition to allowing an easy access, a tunnel container is a great solution for garages or workshops because it allows you to easily access all areas of your workspace without having to move things around. The two doors at each end let you move into and out of your storage container in a matter of minutes should you need to.
One-trip tunnel containers are available as new constructions with two sets double doors or modified shipping containers. In the latter the solid end of the container is removed and the double doors are is welded to each end of the container.
Containers for shipping are typically only available as new , in a condition that is only one-trip, because the owners have constructed them specifically for a certain purpose and don't want them to be sold. However, you are able to purchase refurbished tunnels from some companies that offer this specialised container type. The renovated containers have been tested to ensure they are safe for transport and can be sold with a longer warranty to provide additional peace of mind.
Easy Transportation
Double cargo doors at both ends of the tunnel container make it simple to load and unload items from either end. This makes these containers ideal for transporting all types of bulk and general cargo, as well as special items such as motorbikes or cars. They are also frequently used as tunnels in the form of makeshift ones at construction sites due their durability, safety and flexibility to modify.
Shipping containers with double doors can be great storage. Having access to both sides of the container eliminates the necessity to completely empty the goods or remove a section of the container to access the stuff stored in the back, which could save time and money. Furthermore, the doors at both ends can be locked to prevent unauthorised access.
These containers are very durable, and because they're made from corten steel, they're designed to endure harsh weather conditions. They're water- and wind-proof and come with ventilation to ensure adequate airflow. These features can protect your items from moisture and minimize the risk of loss or loss or.
You can pick from a range of options for a container tunnel depending on your needs. For example open top containers feature a removable bow-top that allows for the easier loading of heavy and large cargo. Side-open containers come with doors that are placed on the sides of the container making them ideal for storing smaller items. A refrigerated ISO container, or reefer, has a regulated temperature and can be used to store temperature-sensitive goods.
They are available in new and refurbished sizes 20ft and fortyft and have doors at both ends to facilitate loading. These containers can be customized to meet your specific needs, but will cost more than a standard double door container.
