Think You're Cut Out For Tunnel Containers? Answer This Question

Tunnel Containers

The most important characteristic of tunnel containers as the name suggests, is the dual doors at the two ends of the container. This significantly improves accessibility and makes tunnel containers ideal for storage and goods handling.

They are also popular for conversion into self storage units because they can be divided by putting up walls to divide them. We have also assisted customers use them to house plant machinery and provide secure site access using turnstiles.

Dual Access

Tunnel containers are modified version of standard shipping containers that have double doors at both ends. These containers are also known as a "double door end container" or a "tunnel-shaped container". They permit access to the stored items at both ends.

The dual-end access allows cargo to be loaded and unloaded from either side of the container, which is ideal for transporting heavier or bulkier items that would otherwise need to be backed into and out of the container. Double-end access removes the need to empty the entire container to access the items that are buried within, thereby saving time and reducing the chance of damage.

This innovative feature makes tunnel containers adaptable and flexible. They can be used to satisfy a variety of transportation and storage needs and can also be converted into mobile offices or living spaces. And because they're made from tough and corrosion-resistant Corten steel they are able to endure even 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 storage compartments measuring 10 feet. Self-storage companies can make use of them to separate their customers' belongings into different areas, thereby increasing security. Our double-end door containers are very popular at large events as ticket entry points because they can hold large crowds and keep them dry.

Our 20ft double-door tunnels come with fork pockets suitable for large industrial forklifts, which means they can be easily stacked and 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.

We can make tunnel containers in custom sizes to meet your exact specifications if you need an even more customized solution. We can create them in single- or double-sided versions, 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 most dangerous products, such as explosives, flammable liquids and organic peroxides, must be stored at optimal temperatures. Any temperature fluctuations could affect their stability, and cause combustion 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.

These fluctuations can often be difficult to identify, particularly during a hectic workday. Container terminals must use an instrument to monitor the temperature of all reefer containers at their facility. This allows personnel the ability to respond quickly in the event of any abnormalities and prevent any risk.

Tunnel containers are a practical option when it comes to transporting and storing temperature-sensitive goods. Double doors are located at both sides of the container, which makes it easier to load and unload during transportation as well as storage. They can also be used to store bulky objects like machinery and vehicles.

These containers are typically constructed from a standard 20ft or 40ft tunnel containers shipping container, the solid end is removed, and a new set of double doors is welded into place, resulting in two-way access. These modified containers are often used on construction sites where heavy machinery has to be passed over and under.

Some container terminals even transform their tunnel shipping containers to serve as a secure entrance to the site by installing a turnstile or manual security checkpoint as users pass through. Although these conversions aren't offered in standard sizes however, they can be made to meet the specific needs of the customer and are highly cost effective when compared to building an entire facility from scratch. Tunnel containers are generally only available in a "new one-time use condition. This is because the owners build them for a specific use and then hold on to them. They are therefore highly sought-after by those looking to expand their warehouse or business without having to purchase 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

If you're looking to store space for your cargo, a tunnel container is a convenient option. They have double doors at both ends, unlike the typical dry storage container that only has one door. This lets you access your storage container from either side. This allows you to unload and load 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 continuously reverse vehicles to and from the container, which can cause damage to your vehicle as well as the container.

You can also utilize a tunnel container for store goods that you need to keep at a particular temperature. The thermal and refrigerated tunnel containers are ideal for this as they have temperature controls that ensure the goods stored inside are kept at a specific temperature.

In addition to providing an easy access to the inside of a tunnel container, it is a great solution for a workshop or garage as it permits you to easily reach all areas of your workspace without having to move things around. Two doors at either end let you quickly enter and exit your storage container when needed.

One trip tunnel containers can be built from new with two sets of double doors, or modified from a standard shipping container. In the second case, the solid end is removed from the container. A pair of double doors are attached to each end.

These containers are usually only available in new, 'one-trip' condition, because their owners will have built them for a specific purpose and will not wish to sell them on. However, you can still purchase refurbished tunnels from companies that offer this type of container. These refurbished containers are tested to ensure that they are safe to transport and are sold with an extended warranty.

Easy Transportation

The double cargo doors at both sides of tunnel containers allow you to easily unload and load items from either end. These containers are ideal for transporting bulk and general cargo as well as special items such as automobiles or motorbikes. These containers are commonly used to build temporary tunnels on construction sites due to their durability, safety, and the ease of modification.

Shipping containers with double doors are fantastic storage. The ability to access both sides of the container eliminates the need to completely unload goods or take a portion of the container in order to access the items stored in the back, which could save time and money. Furthermore, the doors at both sides can be locked to stop any unauthorized access.

These containers are constructed of corten steel and are designed to stand up to harsh conditions. They're water and wind-proof and come with ventilation to ensure adequate airflow. These features protect the goods from moisture, thus making it less likely for them to suffer from loss and spoilage.

You can select from a variety of options for a container tunnel, best site, depending on your needs. For instance open top containers feature an open bow-top that can be removed to allow for the easier loading of heavy and large cargo. Side-open containers have doors on the sides making them ideal for the storage of small 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 versions in sizes of 20 and 40 ft tunnel container feet with 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.
