Watch This: How Tunnel Containers Is Taking Over And How To Respond
Tunnel Containers
Like the name suggests, the key feature of tunnel containers is the dual door design on each side of the container. This greatly increases access and makes tunnel containers ideal for storage and handling.
They are popular for converting into self storage units as you can divide them by putting up an enclosure wall. We have also assisted customers use them to house plant machinery and provide secure access to the site with turnstiles.
Dual Access
A tunnel container is an alternative to a standard shipping container with double doors at both ends. These containers are also referred to as a "double end door container" or a "tunnel-shaped container". They provide access to the stored items on both ends.
The dual-end access permits cargo to be loaded and unloaded from both sides of the container, which is ideal for transporting bulkier or larger items which would otherwise have to be backed into and out of the container. The double-end access also removes the necessity of unloading the entire container in order to access the items stored within, which saves time and decreases the chance of damage during transportation.
This unique feature is what makes these tunnel containers so versatile and flexible. They can be used for a wide range of storage and transportation needs, including being converted into living spaces or mobile offices. Because they're constructed of tough and corrosion-resistant Corten steel, these containers are able to endure even the harshest weather conditions.
If you are looking for an extra secure solution We can join steel bulkheads to one of the long sides, creating two storage compartments with a total of 10ft. This makes them perfect for self-storage businesses that wish to enhance security by segregating their customer's items into separate areas. Our double-end door containers are very popular for large events as ticket entry points because they can hold large crowds and keep them dry.
Our 20ft double-door tunnel containers have fork pockets that can be used with industrial forklifts. This means they can be easily stacked or lifted at the corners of each side. We've also added PIR insulation and heaters to these units which makes them suitable for storage throughout the year.
We can build tunnel containers in custom dimensions to meet your specific specifications if you require an additional bespoke solution. We can make tunnel containers with single or double-sided versions, and different lengths. Custom-sized tunnel containers are more expensive than regular shipping containers, so we recommend selecting the most suitable size that meets your needs.
Temperature-Sensitive Goods
The storage of the most dangerous items such as explosives or flammable liquids is best stored at temperatures that are optimal. Temperature fluctuations can cause various problems, such as explosion 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.
Sometimes these fluctuations can be difficult to identify, especially during a hectic workday. Container terminals should have an instrument to monitor the temperature of all reefer containers in their facility. This allows personnel to react quickly to any abnormalities, 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 improves accessibility and speeds loading and unloading operations when warehousing and transportation. They can also be used to store bulky items like vehicles and machinery.
These containers are modified from standard shipping containers of 20 or 40 feet. The solid end is removed and the double door set is then welded to create two-way access. These modified containers are typically used on construction sites where heavy machinery must be passed over and under.
Some container terminals also convert their tunnel shipping containers to function as a secure entrance to the site, installing a turnstile or an automated security checkpoint when visitors traverse through. While these conversions aren't available in a standard size, they can be easily made to meet the specific needs of the customer and are highly cost effective as compared to the construction of an entire facility from scratch. Tunnel containers are generally only available in a 'one trip' condition because their owners design them specifically for a particular purpose and then keep them. They are therefore highly sought-after by those looking to expand their business or warehouse without having to invest in 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
A tunnel container is an ideal option to store your cargo. These shipping containers have double doors at both ends of the container, which is different from conventional dry storage containers, which have doors on one side. This lets you access your storage container on either side. This allows you to load and unload items.
This dual entry point is especially beneficial for storage containers that will be used to store goods that you require frequent access to equipment or machinery equipment. This means that you won't have to continuously reverse vehicles to and from the container, which can damage both your vehicle and the container.
You can also use a tunnel container to store items that you need to keep at a certain temperature. The thermal and refrigerated tunnel containers are ideal for this because they come with temperature controls to ensure that the items stored in them are kept at a particular temperature.
In addition to allowing an easy access to the inside of a tunnel container, it is a great solution for a garage or workshop as it permits you to easily access every area of your workspace without the need to move things around. Dual doors at each end allow you to quickly enter and exit your storage container when needed.
One trip tunnel containers can be built from scratch with two sets of double doors or adapted from a conventional shipping container. In the second case the solid end is removed from the container, and a pair of double doors are attached to each end.
The shipping containers are generally only available in brand new"one-trip" condition, because their owners will have created them for a specific purpose and won't want to sell them on. However, you are able to purchase refurbished tunnels from a few companies who offer this type of container. The renovated containers have been tested to ensure they're safe for transportation and can be sold with an extended warranty for additional security.

Easy Transportation
The double cargo doors on both ends of tunnel containers makes it easy to unload and load items from either end. They are perfect for transporting bulk and general cargo as well as special goods like motorbikes or automobiles. They are also frequently used as tunnels for temporary use on construction sites due to their durability, safety and flexibility to modify.
Shipping containers with double doors are great storage. The ability to gain access to both sides of a container will save you time and money by eliminating the necessity of removing the entire container or a section to reach the items that are stored in the back. The doors at both ends can be locked to stop unauthorised access.
These containers are extremely robust, and since they're constructed of corten steel they're built to withstand tough weather conditions. They're wind and watertight and are equipped with ventilation to ensure sufficient airflow. These features can shield goods from moisture, decreasing the risk of loss and spoilage.
Based on your needs You can pick from a variety of options for a tunnel container. Open top containers, for instance are equipped with bow-tops that can be removed to allow loading of large and heavy cargo easier. Side-open containers have doors on the side making them ideal for storage of small goods. 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 40 and 20 feet, with doors at both ends for easy loading. They can also be sized to suit your unique needs, but this will be more expensive than the standard double-end door container.
