Tunnel Containers
Like the name suggests the most important feature of a tunnel containers is the dual door design at the opposite end of the container. This significantly improves accessibility and makes them ideal for storage and handling of products.
They are also popular for converting into self-storage units since they can be divided by putting up a partition wall. We have also assisted customers utilize them to store equipment for their plants and to provide secure access to the site with turnstiles.
Dual Access
Tunnel containers are modified version of standard shipping containers that have double doors on both sides. These containers are also referred to as a "double end door container" or a "tunnel-shaped container". They allow access to the stored items on both ends.
The dual-end access allows for cargo to be loaded and unloaded from both sides of the container. This is ideal when you're moving heavier or bulkier items which would otherwise have to be backed into and out of the container. The double-end access also makes it unnecessary to unload the entire container in order to get to goods stored deep within, which can be time-saving and reduces the risk of damage during transportation.
This innovative feature makes tunnel containers flexible and adaptable. They can be used for a wide variety of storage and transportation requirements, such as being transformed into living spaces or mobile offices. They're also made of rugged, corrosion-resistant Corten steel, these containers can withstand the harshest weather conditions.
If you're seeking a more secure alternative, we can join in steel bulkheads on one of the long sides of the container, creating two separate 10ft storage compartments. This makes them ideal for self storage businesses who want to increase security by separating their customers' items into separate areas. Our double-end door containers are a favorite for large events as ticket entry points, as they can accommodate 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 they can be easily stacked or lifted at the corners of each long side. We've also installed PIR insulation and heaters to these containers which makes them suitable for storage all year round.
If you're looking for a more custom-designed container, we can also manufacture custom-sized tunnel containers that exactly meet your requirements. We can manufacture them in both double-sided and single-sided models and in a variety of lengths. Custom-sized tunnel containers are more expensive than standard shipping containers, so we recommend choosing the closest size that will meet your needs.
Temperature-Sensitive Goods
The storage of the most hazardous goods such as explosives or flammable liquids should be stored at temperatures that are optimal. Any fluctuations in temperature 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 spot, especially during a hectic workday. Container terminals should have an instrument to monitor the temperature of all reefer containers in their facility. This gives personnel the ability to react quickly in the event of any issues and also to prevent any potential risks.
Tunnel containers are a practical option when it comes to transporting and storing temperature-sensitive goods. Double doors are located at both ends of the container, making it easier to load and unload during transportation and storage. They can be used to store large objects like vehicles and machinery.
These modified containers are usually constructed from a standard 20ft or 40ft shipping container, the solid end is taken away and new double doors are welded in 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 convert their tunnel shipping containers into secure entrances for their site by installing a turnstile when the users enter. These conversions, which are not available in standard sizes, can be easily customized to meet specific requirements. They are also more cost-effective than building a complete facility. Tunnel containers are generally only available as a 'new one trip' condition. This is due to the fact that their owners construct them to meet a specific need and then hold on to them for a period of time. They are highly sought-after by those who wish to expand their business or warehouse 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, a tunnel container is an ideal choice. These shipping containers have double doors at both ends of the container, which is different from traditional dry storage containers that have a door on one end. This allows you to access your storage container on either side. This allows you to load and unload goods.
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 shift your vehicle in and out of the storage container constantly, which could damage both the container and your vehicle.
You can also store goods in a tunnel container if you want to keep a certain temperature. The thermal and refrigerated tunnel containers are perfect for this as they have temperature controls that will ensure the goods stored inside are kept at a particular temperature.
In addition to offering an easy access, a tunnel container is an ideal solution for a workshop or garage as it permits you to easily reach all areas of your workspace without the need to move things around. The two doors at the ends allow you to move into and out of your storage container in a matter of minutes in the event of need.
One-trip tunnel containers can be built from new with two sets of double doors, or adapted from a conventional shipping container. In the latter case the solid part of the container is removed and two doors are installed at each end of the container.
Shipping containers such as these are usually only available as new in a 'one-trip condition' since their owners have built them specifically for a certain purpose and don't want to be sold. Some companies are still offering refurbished tunnel containers. These refurbished containers are tested to ensure that they are safe for transport and are sold with a warranty that is extended.
40ft tunnel container at both sides of a tunnel container makes it easy to load and unload items from either end. They are perfect for transporting bulk and general cargo, as well as specific objects like automobiles or motorbikes. These containers are also often used as makeshift tunnels at construction sites due to their safety, durability and flexibility to modify.
Shipping Containers with double doors are also very convenient for storage purposes. The ability to access both sides of the container means that there is no need to completely unload goods or even remove a section of the container to reach the items stored in the back, which can save time and money. The doors on both sides can also be locked to prevent unauthorised access.
These containers are made of corten steel and are designed to stand up to harsh conditions. These containers are water- and wind-proof and have ventilation to ensure airflow. These features protect your goods from moisture and minimize the risk of loss and spoilage.
Based on your needs, you can choose among a variety of options for tunnel containers. Open top containers, for instance, have a bow-top that can be removed to make loading heavy and large cargo more convenient. Side-open containers come with 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 refurbished and new models in 20ft and 40ft sizes with doors on both sides to facilitate easy loading. They can also be custom sized to meet your individual requirements, but this will cost more than the standard double-end door containers.
