Tunnel Container Uses

Tunnel containers are also referred to as double door shipping containers, they have the same dimensions as the standard ISO container but the difference is that they open at both ends. This allows for quick access to the cargo and is useful for those who use the container as a storage or conversion project.

Transport

Tunnel containers are great for a variety. Dual entry points make it easy to access equipment and other materials at either end. This makes it easier to transport palletised items using forklifts, and it simplifying the management of stock flow. Tunnel containers are often used as bridges for temporary use on construction sites as well as ticket entry points for events such as festivals.

They are also a great solution for self storage. By erection of a steel bulkhead partition the 20ft tunnel container could be converted into two 10ft units, maximising ROI. Tunnel containers can be modified in many ways, such as adding lighting for the interior, and side windows, making them even more convenient for businesses.

Double doors at both ends of the container are ideal for storing large or bulky items. This is particularly useful in warehouses, where it can be difficult to fit large machinery or vehicles into standard shipping containers. It will save a significant amount of time when you don't have to continually move the container around, allowing you to keep moving goods throughout the day.

Tunnel containers can be fitted with heating and cooling units which allow them to be used for temperature-controlled storage for goods such pharmaceuticals, food, and chemicals. They can also be equipped with ventilation to prevent condensation.

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

They can be positioned on tracks or truck frames or transported via flat-bed or chassis trucks. They are an excellent choice for military and law enforcement equipment as they can easily be moved between bases. This could also help to hinder the identification of expensive equipment like command and control centres or mobile operating theaters. They can be shipped with different weapons including missile launchers. Container City in Cholula is a fantastic example of how an old sea containers can be transformed into restaurants, workshops galleries, or even homes!

Stores

Double-end doors containers, also known as Tunnel Containers, allow access to the storage items at both ends of a container. This significantly increases ease of access for loading/unloading and allows full use of the storage space. This makes these units ideal as self-storage facilities, giving access to both sides of the container, without having to remove items. This is especially beneficial for those who have to store massive, bulky or awkward objects like machinery and heavy equipment.

In addition the tunnel container's design permits these units to be converted easily into offices or other storage spaces that are secure. Tunnel containers unlike open side shipping containers can be opened from both ends with the doors locked. They are perfect for creating offices on site and even housing, should it be required.

The containers can also be used to store specific equipment. Military units can use containers to transport expensive equipment to temporary locations like command and control centres or mobile operating theaters thus avoiding the need to move these systems by road.

Similarly, specialised industrial equipment like turbines and generators can be transported similarly. This allows for rapid deployment of critical infrastructure to areas where it is needed, reducing time and costs associated with installing fixed infrastructure.

These units can be outfitted with a temperature control system and an insulation for thermal purposes if you are shipping a risky cargo such as biological or chemical materials. This allows the unit to maintain an extremely low temperature, which will prevent any loss or damage.

They can also be outfitted with a removable tarp covering that allows for greater flexibility in loading and unloading. This allows for large or bulky items to be transported that might not fit in traditional shipping containers, like construction materials, timber or large machinery. These units can be fitted with lockboxes with high security to block entry from above.

Stuffing & De Stuffing

Logistics professionals employ different terms to describe how cargo is prepared for transport and moved along the supply chain. Container stuffing and destuffing are words that describe the process of loading or removing items from a shipping container. Understanding these concepts is essential to the success of any business that uses shipping containers for storage or distribution.

Stuffing a container tunnel requires carefully placing the cargo in order to maximize space and meet specific logistical requirements. Based on the nature of the cargo specific packing and loading methods must be used to prevent damage during transport. It is crucial to put the largest cargo on the bottom and stack lighter items above. Also it is essential to use appropriate measures of security to prevent cargo from shifting during transit. Optimizing the load in the container aids in reducing shipping, handling, and labour costs per unit and ensures regulatory compliance for safe transportation.

Upon arrival at the destination, container de-stuffing or unloading is an essential step in maintaining the efficiency of the supply chain. This process removes any excess freight from a container for shipping, and requires careful inspection to find indications of water damage or other physical damage that could compromise the integrity of the cargo. Regulatory compliance and effective communication between the logistics service provider and shipper are key to a successful de-stuffing procedure.

For companies who require a secure and secure site access point, a renovated tunnel container is a cost-effective solution. They can be converted to a turnstile or an entry checkpoint that is manually operated to prevent access to restricted areas within the facility. These containers are also used as bridges for temporary use and as ticket entrances for large events.

Tunnel containers aren't the most popular kind of shipping container, but they are gaining popularity for multimodal logistics. They're ideal for storage and shipping, since their doors that are double-ended allow access from either side. Self-storage is a popular choice for businesses that want to have two access points to their inventory. Portable Space can weld in steel bulkhead partitions to convert the tunnel container of 20 ft tunnel containers feet into two storage compartments of 10 feet each, which is much cheaper than purchasing new storage containers.

Security

Tunneling is one method to set up direct point-topoint connections across the network. It encapsulates packets using one routing protocol within other protocols so that routers at either end of a tunnel container uses can be directly connected to one another.

This allows different applications to share the same infrastructure. For example, a company can have tunnels for public internet and internal resources. This will help them to ensure that they have uniform security policies for their employees and customers. With the use of tunnels, a company can also safeguard sensitive information from being intercepted through the public network.

Container cargo loads, even though they are made of steel, are still vulnerable to theft. Thieves have become very sophisticated in their tactics and can break into a container by the removal of its hinges or doors. For this reason, it's important for businesses to put in place measures to prevent their containers from being stolen.

Installing a lockbox onto the door is one method to accomplish this. They are steel shrouds that are welded that fit around the lug which holds the padlock on the door of the container. they make it extremely difficult to get into the padlock with bolt cutters. In addition, companies can add an alarm that is high-security and will alert them when someone tries to cut the lockbox.

Installing a turnstile, or a manual entry checkpoint with secure access, is a different way to increase security. This is particularly useful when there is a large number of people attending the event. It can be used to keep guests out of the rain and wind, while allowing security personnel to check people's entry into the venue.

Shipping containers come in different sizes and conditions and therefore, businesses can choose the one that best suits their requirements. For instance, some are designed for heavy items like machinery and vehicles. Others have doors at both ends making them easier to load and unload. There are refrigerated containers that can be used to transport fresh food.
