Tunnel Containers
The most important characteristic of tunnel containers as the name implies is the double door design at both ends of the container. This greatly improves access and makes them ideal for handling and storage of products.
They are also popular for conversion into self storage units as you can divide them by constructing a partition wall. We have assisted customers to utilize them to store plant machinery and secure site access with turnstiles.
Dual Access
A tunnel container is a modified version of standard shipping containers with double doors on both sides. They are also referred to as a "double door end container" or a "tunnel-shaped container". They provide access to the stored items on both ends.
The dual-end access allows cargo to be loaded and unloaded from both sides of the container, which is ideal if you're transporting heavier or bulkier items that would otherwise need to be backed in and out of the container. Double-end access eliminates the need to empty the entire container in order to reach goods buried deep within, thereby saving time and reducing the chance of damage.
This innovative feature makes tunnel containers adaptable and flexible. They can be used for a wide range of storage and transport requirements, including being transformed into living spaces or mobile offices. Because they're constructed of tough and corrosion-resistant Corten steel, these containers can withstand the most extreme weather conditions.
If you're looking for a safer option, we can put steel bulkheads to one of the long sides of the container, resulting in two separate storage compartments measuring 10 feet. Self-storage companies can make use of them to divide their customers' belongings into distinct areas, increasing security. Our double end door containers are also popular for use as ticket entrances at large events, as they can easily handle crowds while keeping them dry.
Our 20ft double door tunnel containers come with fork pockets that are suitable for industrial forklifts. click now means that they can be easily stacked or lifted at the corners of each long side. We've also fitted PIR insulation and heaters to these containers which makes them suitable for year-round storage.
If you're looking for a custom-designed container, we can also manufacture custom-sized tunnel containers that match your specific requirements. We can make tunnel containers with single or double-sided designs, and different 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 dangerous products like explosives or liquids that ignite is best stored at temperatures that are optimal. Any fluctuations in temperature can affect their stability, and lead to 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.
In many cases, these fluctuations can be difficult to detect, particularly during a hectic workday. Container terminals need a system to keep track of the temperature of all reefer containers within their facility. This allows staff to react swiftly to any issues and prevent any risks.
Tunnel containers are a practical option when it comes to transporting and storing temperature-sensitive goods. They have double doors at both ends, which increases accessibility and speeds loading and unloading processes during transportation and warehousing. They can be used to store large items like vehicles and machinery.
The modified containers are typically made from a standard 20ft or 40ft shipping container. The solid end is taken away and a new set of double doors are welded in place, resulting in two-way access. They are popular for use at construction sites, where it is necessary to pass through and under heavy machinery.
Some container terminals convert their tunnel shipping containers into secure entrances to their sites, installing a turnstile as people pass through. These conversions, which aren't available in standard sizes, can be customized to meet specific requirements. They are also less expensive than building a complete facility. Tunnel containers are generally only available in a "one-trip" model, as their owners create them specifically for a specific use and then retain them. This makes them a highly sought-after product for those wanting to increase their business or warehouse storage capacity without having to invest in a brand new refrigerated facility. 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 an excellent option for storing your cargo. These shipping containers feature double doors at both ends, in contrast to a standard dry storage container which only has a single door. This means you can enter your storage container from both sides which allows for more convenient access and faster loading and unloading of goods.
This dual entry point is particularly beneficial for a container that is used to store items that require frequent access to, such as machinery or equipment. This means that you don't have to turn your vehicle around and out of the storage container on a regular basis and risk damaging both the container as well as your vehicle.
You can also make use of a tunnel container to store things that you want to keep at a certain temperature. The thermal and refrigerated tunnel containers are ideal for this since they have temperature controls that will ensure the goods stored inside are kept at a particular temperature.
A tunnel container is a fantastic solution for a workshop or garage. It allows you to reach all parts of your work space without the need to move any furniture. Dual doors at each end let you quickly access and exit your storage container, if required.
One-trip tunnel containers can be built from scratch with two sets of double doors or adapted from a standard shipping container. In the latter case, the solid end of the container is removed and the double doors are is welded to each end of the container.
Shipping containers like these are typically only available in new 'one-trip condition', because their owners have built them specifically for a certain reason and don't want them to be sold. Some companies are still offering renovated tunnel containers. The recycled containers have been checked to ensure that they are safe for transportation and are sold with an extended warranty for additional security.
Easy Transportation
The double cargo doors at both sides of tunnel containers make it easy to load and unload items from either end. This makes them ideal for carrying all kinds of general and bulk cargo, including specific goods like cars or motorbikes. These containers are often used to construct temporary tunnels on construction sites because of their durability, security, and flexibility in modifying.
Shipping containers with double doors can be fantastic storage. Having access to both sides of the container means that there is no need to completely unload the goods or take a portion of the container in order to access the contents stored in the back, which can save time and money. Additionally, the doors on both sides can be locked to stop unauthorized entry.
These containers are made of corten steel and are designed to stand up to harsh conditions. They're wind and watertight and are equipped with ventilation to ensure adequate airflow. These features can shield goods from moisture, decreasing the risk of spoilage and loss.
Based on your requirements You can pick among a variety of options for tunnel containers. Open top containers, for example are equipped with bow-tops that can be removed to allow loading of large and heavy cargo more convenient. Side-open containers have doors on the sides which makes them ideal for storing small items. 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 models in sizes of 20 and 40 feet and have doors on both ends to make loading easy. They can be tailored to meet your needs but will cost more than a standard double door container.
