tunnel containers for sale Container Uses

The tunnel container is also called a double-door shipping container. They are the same dimensions of standard ISO containers but they open on both ends. This lets cargo access quickly and is a valuable feature if you are using containers to store or convert projects.

Transport

Tunnel containers can be used for a variety of different uses. The dual entry points provide easy access to equipment and other materials at either end which makes it easier for palletised goods to be moved by forklifts, and makes stock flow management much simpler. Tunnel containers are often used as temporary bridges on construction sites and also as ticket entrances for events like festivals.

They also provide a great option for self-storage. With the erection of an iron bulkhead partition, one 20ft tunnel container can become two 10ft units, maximizing return on investment. Tunnel containers can be modified in many ways. They can be fitted with side windows and lighting which makes them more suitable for businesses.

Double doors at both ends of the container make it ideal for storing large or bulky items. This is particularly beneficial in warehouses, as it can be difficult to get large machinery and vehicles in regular shipping containers. You can save time by not having to constantly move the container.

Tunnel containers can be equipped with cooling and heating systems, enabling them to be used for temperature controlled storage of goods such as food chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and electronics. They can be fitted with ventilation systems to stop condensation.

Like normal shipping containers, 40 ft tunnel containers containers are available in 20ft and 40ft sizes. They are ISO shipping standards and CSC plating to be used for international freight. They can also be made weatherproof by adding insulation.

They can be mounted on tracks or truck frames, or transported on flat-bed or chassis trucks. They're also a great option for military or law enforcement equipment, as they can be easily transported between bases and can prevent unwanted identification of expensive equipment like command and control centers or mobile operating theatres. They can even be shipped with a range of weaponry including missile launchers. The Container City in Cholula, Mexico is an excellent illustration of how old sea containers can be turned into restaurants, galleries and workshops - as well as homes!

Stores

Double end door containers or Tunnel Containers as they are generally referred to, allow access to storage items from both sides of the container. This significantly increases ease of access for loading and unloading and allows for the full utilization of storage space. This makes these units ideal for use as self storage facilities, offering access to both sides of the container without having to remove items. This is particularly beneficial for those who need to store bulky, large or awkward objects like machinery and heavy equipment.

The tunnel container design also allows for these units to be converted into offices or safe storage spaces. Tunnel containers, unlike open side shipping containers are able to be opened from either side with the doors locked again. This allows them to be used for the construction of on-site offices and even housing for when needed.

The containers can also be used to store special equipment. Military units can make use of them to transport expensive systems to temporary locations like command and controls centres or mobile operating theaters, thereby eliminating the necessity to transport these systems by vehicle.

Additionally, industrial equipment such as generators and turbines can be shipped similarly. This allows for rapid deployment of critical infrastructure in areas where it is needed, greatly reducing the time and cost associated installing fixed infrastructure.

These units are able to be fitted with the ability to control temperature and a thermal insulation if you are shipping a risky cargo, such as biological or chemical substances. This lets the unit maintain an extremely low temperature, which will prevent any loss or damage.

These units are able to be fitted with removable tarp covers which offer greater flexibility when loading and unloading. This permits large or heavy items that wouldn't fit in standard shipping containers to be transported, including large machinery wood, construction materials, or other bulky items. To ensure security, these containers can also be fitted with a high security lockbox that blocks entry from the top of the container.

Stuffing & De Stuffing

Logistics professionals use different terms to describe how cargo is prepared for transport and moved through the supply chain. Container stuffing and destuffing are words that describe the process of removing or loading goods from a container. Understanding these concepts will help any company that relies on shipping containers for storage or distribution to be successful.

Stuffing a container tunnel involves strategically placing freight in order to maximize space and meet specific logistic requirements. To prevent damage in transportation, loading and packing methods that are specifically designed for the cargo are required. This includes placing heaviest items on the bottom, and stacking lighter ones on top and utilizing the appropriate securing measures to keep the cargo from moving during transit. Optimizing the load in the container helps to reduce shipping, handling, and labour costs per unit and ensures that the container is in compliance with regulations to ensure safe transport.

Upon arrival at the destination the container is unloaded or de-stuffing is a crucial step in maintaining supply chain efficiency. This involves removing excess freight from a container and involves a careful inspection for any indications of physical or water damage that could affect the integrity of the cargo. De-stuffing is only feasible when the logistics company and the shipper are in constant communication and comply with all regulations.

Refurbished tunnel containers are a cost-effective option for businesses who need an efficient and secure access point to their site. These containers can be converted to a turnstile, or a manual entry checkpoint to prevent access to restricted areas in the facility. These containers are also popular for bridges that are temporary and as ticket entry points at large-scale events.

Although tunnel containers aren't the most popular type of shipping container, they're becoming increasingly popular in multimodal logistics applications. They're perfect for storage and shipping, because their double-ended doors allow access from either side. They're often utilised for self storage by organisations who require dual access to their stock. Portable Space can weld steel bulkhead partitions inside containers that are 20 feet long to create two separate 10ft compartments. This is less expensive than buying new storage containers.

Security

Tunneling is a way to establish a direct connection between two points on the network. It encapsulates packets using one routing protocol within other protocols to ensure that routers at both ends of the tunnel can directly connect with each other.

This allows different applications to use a common infrastructure. A company, for example can create tunnels to connect its internal resources with the internet. This can help them maintain uniform security policies for all employees and customers. With the use of tunnels, a company can also protect sensitive information from being stolen on the public network.

Despite being made from steel, containers are still vulnerable to theft. The methods used by thieves have evolved and they're now able to break into steel containers by taking the hinges or doors off. It's therefore important that businesses take measures to prevent their containers being taken.

One way to do this is to install a lockbox on the doors. These are welded steel shrouds which fit around the lug on the door which holds the padlock. They make it very difficult to access the area of the padlock using bolt cutters. Businesses can also install an alarm with high security that will notify the company if someone attempts to cut through the lockbox.

Installing the turnstile, or manual entry checkpoint with secured access is another way to increase security. This is especially useful in events where people are entering in large numbers. It is a great way to keep guests away from the rain and wind while allowing security personnel to conduct checks as people enter the venue.

Shipping containers are available in a variety of sizes and specifications. This lets businesses select the right one to meet their requirements.
