tunnel shipping container Containers

The key characteristic of tunnel containers as the name suggests is the dual door design at both ends of the container. This significantly improves accessibility and makes 20 ft tunnel containers containers ideal for storage and goods handling.

You can also convert them into self-storage units by adding the partition. We have also helped customers make use of them to house plant machinery and provide secure access to the site with turnstiles.

Dual Access

A tunnel container is an altered version of the typical shipping container, with double doors at both ends. Known as a 'double end door container' or tunnel Shipping container container, these containers let you access stored items from both ends.

Dual-end access lets cargo be loaded or unloaded from either side of the container. This is ideal for transporting larger or heavier goods that would need to be removed from and into the box. Double-end access removes the need to empty the entire container to reach goods buried deep within, thereby saving time and reducing the chance of damage.

This nifty feature is what makes these tunnel containers so flexible and versatile. They can be used to meet various storage and transport needs as well as be transformed into mobile offices or living spaces. These containers are made of durable, corrosion resistant Corten steel and are able to withstand even the most extreme weather conditions.

If you're looking for a safer alternative, we can join steel bulkheads to one of the long sides of the container, resulting in two separate 10ft storage compartments. Self-storage companies can use them to separate their customers' belongings into distinct areas, increasing security. Double-end door containers are also well-liked as ticket entrances for large events, as they are able to easily handle crowds while keeping them dry.

Our 20ft double-door tunnel containers are fitted with fork pockets designed for large industrial forklifts which means they can be easily stacked or lifted from the corners of both sides. We've also fitted PIR insulation and heaters to these containers which makes them suitable for year-round storage.

We can make tunnel containers with custom sizes to meet your precise specifications if you need an additional bespoke solution. We can produce them in both double-sided and single-sided versions and also in various lengths. However the custom-sized tunnel containers will cost more than an ordinary shipping container tunnel container, so we suggest selecting the one that is closest to your requirements.

Temperature-Sensitive Goods

The storage of the most dangerous items such as explosives or flammable liquids should be stored at temperatures that are optimal. Temperature fluctuations can lead to various problems, including a fire 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.

These fluctuations are often difficult to spot, particularly during the busy hours of a day. This is why it's essential that container terminals use systems that provide real-time temperature monitoring for all reefer containers in their facility. This allows staff to respond quickly in the event of any abnormalities and prevent any risks that could arise.

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 processes when warehousing and transportation. They can be used to store large objects like vehicles and machinery.

These containers are modified from typical shipping containers of 20ft or 40ft. The solid end is removed, and the double door set is welded into place to provide two-way access. These modified containers are typically used on construction sites where heavy machinery must be moved over and under.

Some container terminals even convert their tunnel shipping containers to function as a secure entrance to the site with a turnstile, or a manual security checkpoint as users go through. These conversions, which aren't available in standard sizes, can be easily modified to meet the specific needs. They are also more cost-effective than building an entire facility. Tunnel containers are typically only available as a 'new one-time use condition. This is because their owners build them to meet a specific need and then retain them. This makes them a desired product for those looking to increase their business' or storage capacity in warehouses without the need to purchase an entirely 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

If you're looking for storage for your cargo, a tunnel container is a convenient option. They have double doors at both ends, unlike traditional dry storage containers that only has one door. This means you can get into your storage container from both sides and have easier access and quicker loading and unloading of goods.

This dual entry point is particularly beneficial when storing goods that require regular access, like machinery and equipment. This means that you don't have to constantly reverse vehicles into and out of the container, which can damage both your vehicle and the container.

You can also store goods in a tunnel container when you want to keep the temperature of a certain level. The thermal and refrigerated tunnel containers are ideal for this because they come with temperature controls to ensure that the contents inside are kept at a specific temperature.

A tunnel container is a fantastic solution for a workshop or garage. It allows you to access all areas of your workspace easily without having to move furniture. Dual doors at each end allow you to quickly access and exit your storage container if needed.

One-trip tunnel containers are available as new constructions that come with two sets of double doors or modified shipping containers. In the second scenario the solid end is removed from the container and a pair of double doors is welded to each end.

Containers for shipping are usually only available as new in a 'one-trip condition' because the owners have constructed them for a particular purpose and don't want them to be sold. Some companies are still offering refurbished tunnel containers. The recycled containers have been checked to ensure they're safe for transportation and can be sold with an extended warranty for additional security.

Easy Transportation

Double cargo doors at both ends of the tunnel container make it easy to unload and load goods from either end. They are perfect for transporting bulk and general cargo, as well as more specific objects like automobiles or motorbikes. These containers are often used to create temporary tunnels on construction sites because of their durability, security, and the ease of modification.

Shipping Containers with double doors are also ideal for storage. Having access to both sides of the container means that there is no necessity to completely empty the goods or take a portion of the container in order to access the stuff stored in the back, which will save time and money. The doors at both ends can be locked to stop any unauthorized access.

These containers are made from corten steel and are designed to withstand harsh conditions. They're water- and wind-proof and are equipped with ventilation to ensure adequate airflow. These features can protect goods from moisture, reducing the risk of loss and spoilage.

You can select from a variety of options for a container tunnel depending on your needs. For instance open top containers feature an open bow-top that can be removed to allow for a simpler loading of heavy and large cargo. Side-open containers are equipped with doors on the sides making them ideal for storing small goods. 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 for easy loading. They can also be custom sized to meet your individual requirements, but this will be more expensive than the standard double-end door container.
