Tunnel Container Uses

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

Transport

Tunnel containers are great for a variety of uses. Dual entry points make it easy to access equipment and materials at either end. This makes it simpler to move palletised loads using forklifts and also simplifying the management of stock flow. Tunnel containers are typically used as temporary bridges on construction sites, as well as ticket entrances to festivals and other events.

They are also a great solution for self storage. By installing a steel bulkhead partition, one 20ft tunnel container could be converted into two 10ft units, increasing the ROI. Tunnel containers can be customized in a variety of ways. They can include side windows and lighting which makes them more suitable for businesses.

The double doors at both sides of the container make it ideal for storing large or bulky items. This is particularly useful in warehouses, as it can be difficult to fit large equipment and vehicles into standard shipping containers. You can save lots of time by not having to continuously move the container tunnel.

20 ft tunnel container containers can be fitted with heating and cooling systems, enabling them to be used for temperature controlled storage of products like food chemical, pharmaceuticals, chemicals and electronics. They can also be equipped with ventilation systems to prevent condensation within the products.

Like standard shipping containers tunnel containers are also available in both 20ft and 40ft tunnel container sizes. They meet ISO shipping standards and are CSC coated for international freight and can be made weatherproof with the addition of insulation.

They can be transported on flat-bed chassis or flat-bed trucks, or mounted on a frame for a truck or tracks. They're also a great option for military or law enforcement equipment as they are able to be transported between bases and may stop the identification of high-value equipment, such as command and control centers or mobile operating theatres. They can even be shipped with a variety of weapons including missile launchers. The Container City in Cholula, Mexico is an excellent example of how old sea containers can be transformed into restaurants, galleries and workshops - and homes!

Stores

Double end doors containers, also known as Tunnel Containers, allow access to the storage items at both sides of the container. This makes it easy to load and unloading, as as full use of the storage space. These units are ideal for self-storage facilities since they permit access to both sides without needing to unload items. This is particularly beneficial for those who must store large, bulky or awkward items such as machinery and heavy equipment.

The tunnel container design also allows these containers to be converted into offices or secure storage spaces. In contrast to open-sided shipping containers that need to be completely unloaded to gain access to the contents tunnel containers can be opened from either side and locked again. They are great for constructing offices on-site and even housing, should it be required.

The containers can also be used to store special equipment. For instance, military units may make use of containers to transport expensive systems to temporary sites such as command and control centers or mobile operating theatres which eliminates the need for these costly equipments to be transported by road.

This method can be used to transport industrial equipment that is specialized, such as turbines or generators. This allows for rapid deployment of critical infrastructure to regions where it is required which reduces the time and expense associated with the installation of fixed infrastructure.

For those looking to ship an item that is more risky, such as chemical or biological materials, these units can be equipped with specially designed thermal insulation and a controlled temperature control system. This allows them to maintain the temperature at a low level and ensures that there is no spoilage during transit.

These units are also available with a removable tarp cover that allows for greater flexibility in loading and unloading. This permits large or heavy items that aren't able to fit in the standard shipping containers to be transported, including massive machinery, timber, construction materials, or other bulky items. To ensure security, these units can also be fitted with a lockbox of high security that blocks access from the top of the container.

Stuffing & De Stuffing

Logistics professionals use various terms to describe the way cargo is ready for transport and how it is moved through the supply chain. Container stuffing and destuffing are two terms that describe the process of loading or removing items from a shipping box. Understanding these concepts is crucial to the success of any business that uses shipping containers to store or distribute goods.

Stuffing a tunnel container involves carefully placing cargo in order to maximize space and meet specific logistics needs. To avoid damage during transit, packing and loading techniques that are specifically for the cargo are required. It is essential to put the largest cargo on the bottom, and stack lighter items on top. Additionally, it is important to take the appropriate security measures to prevent the cargo from shifting during transport. Optimizing the load of the container helps reduce handling, shipping and labour costs and ensures compliance with the regulations for safe transport.

Upon arrival at the destination the container is unloaded or de-stuffing is a vital step to maintaining supply chain efficiency. This process removes excess freight from a shipping container and involves careful inspection to identify any signs of water damage, or other physical damage that could affect the integrity of the cargo. De-stuffing is only possible in the event that the logistics provider and the shipper are in constant communication and comply with all regulations.

For companies who require a secure and secure site access point, a refurbished tunnel container is a cost-effective option. These containers can be converted to a turnstile, or a manual entry checkpoint to restrict access to areas of the facility. These containers are popular for temporary bridges as well as ticket entry points for large events.

While a tunnel container isn't the most common kind of container for shipping but they're becoming increasingly sought-after in multimodal logistics applications. They're perfect for storage and shipping, because their doors that are double-ended allow access from either side. Self-storage is a popular option for businesses that want to have two access points to their inventory. Portable Space can weld in steel bulkhead partitions to convert a 20ft tunnel container (straight from the source) into two separate 10ft storage compartments that are much less expensive than buying new storage containers.

Security

Tunneling is one method to create an instant point-to-point connection over the network. It encapsulates packets that use one routing protocol in conjunction with other protocols, so that routers at either end of a tunnel can connect directly to each other.

This allows different applications to share the same infrastructure. For instance, a company can build tunnels to connect its internal resources to the public internet. This will help them to maintain uniform security policies for their employees and customers. The company can also protect sensitive data from being accessed by using tunnels.

Despite being constructed of steel, container cargo loads are still susceptible to theft. The methods used by thieves have changed and they are capable of breaking into a steel container by cutting off the hinges or doors. Therefore, it is essential that businesses take measures to prevent their containers being taken.

The installation of a lockbox to the door is one method to achieve this. These are steel shrouds that fit around the lug that secures the padlock on the container doors, and they make it difficult to access the padlock area with bolt cutters. In addition, companies can put in an alarm with a high security level that will alert them if someone attempts to cut the lockbox.

Another method to increase the security of 20 ft tunnel containers containers is to set up a turnstile or a manual secure entry checkpoint. This is particularly beneficial when there is a large number of people attending the event. This is a great way to shield guests from wind and rain and allow security personnel to conduct inspections at the venue.

Shipping containers are available in various sizes and conditions. This allows businesses to choose the right one to meet their requirements. For instance, some are designed for bulky items like machinery and vehicles. Some containers have doors at both ends to allow loading and unloading to be made easier. There are even refrigerated container that can be used to transport fresh food.
