Tunnel Containers

The main characteristic of tunnel containers, as the name implies is the dual door design at both ends of the container. This greatly improves access and makes them ideal for storage and handling.

They can also be converted into self-storage units by adding an enclosure. We have also helped clients use them to house plant machinery and offer secure access to their site using turnstiles.

Dual Access

A tunnel container is a modified version of the standard shipping containers with double doors on both sides. These containers are also referred to as a "double end door container" or a "tunnel-shaped container". They permit access to the stored items at both ends.

The dual-end access allows for cargo to be loaded and unloaded from either side of the container, which is ideal when you're moving bulkier or larger items that would otherwise need to be backed in and out of the container. Double-end access also makes it unnecessary to unload the entire container to get to goods stored deep inside, which reduces time and minimizes the risk of damage during transportation.

This innovative feature makes tunnel containers adaptable and flexible. They can be used for a wide variety of storage and transportation requirements, including being transformed into living spaces or mobile offices. These containers are constructed of tough, corrosion-resistant Corten steel that can withstand even the most extreme weather conditions.

If you're looking for a more secure alternative, we can join steel bulkheads to one of the long sides of the container, creating two separate storage compartments measuring 10 feet. Self-storage companies can make use of them to separate their customers' belongings into different areas, which increases security. Our double-end door containers are also popular for use as ticket entry points at large events, since they can easily accommodate lines of people while keeping them dry.

Our new 20ft tunnel containers double-door tunnels come with fork pockets suitable for industrial forklifts that are large, which means they can be easily stackable or lifted from the corners of both long sides. These containers are also outfitted with PIR insulation and heaters making them ideal for storage throughout the year.

We can make tunnel containers in custom sizes to meet your precise specifications if you require an additional bespoke solution. We can make them in single- or double-sided versions, and different lengths. However, a custom-sized tunnel container uses container will cost more than an ordinary shipping container, so we suggest choosing the size that is closest to your requirements.

Temperature-Sensitive Goods

The most dangerous products like explosives, flammable liquids and organic peroxides, require storage at optimal temperatures. Any temperature fluctuations could alter their stability, and cause explosion or release of 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.

In many cases these fluctuations can be difficult to detect, particularly during a hectic workday. Container terminals should have an instrument to keep track of the temperature of all reefer containers at their facility. This allows staff to react swiftly to any issues and avoid any risk.

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 significantly increases accessibility and speeds loading and unloading operations when warehousing and transportation. They can be used to store large items such as machinery or vehicles.

The modified containers are typically constructed from the standard 20 or 40 ft tunnel container foot shipping container. The solid end is removed and a new set of double doors are welded in place, creating two-way access. They are a popular choice on construction sites where it is necessary to pass over and under heavy equipment.

Some container terminals even transform their tunnel shipping containers to function as a secure entrance to the site by installing a turnstile or manual security checkpoint as users pass through. These conversions, which aren't available in standard sizes, can be modified to meet the specific needs. They are also more cost-effective than building a whole facility. Tunnel containers are generally only available in a 'new one trip' condition. This is because the owners build them for a specific purpose and then hold on to them. This makes them a highly desired product for those wanting 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

A tunnel container is an ideal option to store your cargo. They have double doors at both ends, in contrast to a traditional dry storage containers that only has a single door. This allows you to access your storage container from either side. This makes it easier to load and unload goods.

This dual entry point is beneficial for storage containers which is intended to store items you need frequent access to equipment or machinery equipment. It means that you don't need to reverse your vehicle constantly to and from the container, which could cause damage to your vehicle as well as the container.

You can also keep your items in a tunnel container if you want to keep an appropriate temperature. The refrigerator and thermal tunnel containers are perfect for this since they feature temperature control that keeps the items inside at a specific temperature.

A tunnel container is a fantastic solution for a garage or workshop. It allows you to reach all parts of your work space without having to move furniture. Dual doors at each end allow you to swiftly access and exit your storage container, if required.

One-trip tunnel containers can be constructed from scratch with two sets of double doors, or modified from a standard shipping container. In the latter scenario the solid part of the container is removed and the double doors are welded in place at each end of the container.

Containers for shipping are typically only available in new , in a condition that is only one-trip, since their owners have built them for a particular purpose and don't want to be sold. Some companies are still offering recycled tunnel containers. The refurbished containers are tested to ensure that they are safe to transport and are sold with a warranty that is extended.

Easy Transportation

The double cargo doors at both ends of tunnel containers allow you to easily load and unload items from either end. This makes them ideal for carrying all kinds of bulk and general cargo, including specific goods like motorbikes and cars. These containers are also used as tunnels for temporary use at construction sites due to their safety, durability and flexibility to modify.

Shipping containers with double doors are great storage. The ability to access both sides of the container eliminates the need to completely unload goods or take a portion of the container to access the contents stored in the back, which could save time and money. The doors at both ends can be locked to protect unauthorized access.

These containers are constructed of corten steel and are designed to withstand tough conditions. They are water and wind-proof, and feature ventilation to allow airflow. These features can shield the goods from moisture, thus making it less likely for them to suffer from loss and deterioration.

You can choose a variety of options for a container tunnel shipping container depending on your requirements. Open top containers, for instance they have bow-tops that can be removed to make loading heavy and large cargo simpler. Side-open containers have doors that are positioned on the side of the container, making them ideal for storing smaller items. A refrigerated ISO container, or reefer, has a regulated temperature and can be used to store temperature-sensitive goods.

These containers come in both new and refurbished sizes of 40 and 20 feet with doors at both ends to make it easy loading. They can also be custom sized to meet your individual requirements however it will cost more than a standard double-end door container.
