Tunnel Containers
The most important feature of tunnel containers, as the name implies is the dual doors at the two ends of the container. This greatly improves access and makes tunnel containers ideal for storage and goods handling.
You can also turn them into self-storage units by adding an enclosure. We have assisted customers to utilize them for storage of plant machinery and secure site access with turnstiles.
Dual Access
A tunnel container is a modified version of standard shipping containers that have double doors on both sides. It is also known as a 'double-end door container' or tunnel container, these containers provide access to stored items from both ends.
The dual-end access permits cargo to be loaded and unloaded from both sides of the container. This is ideal for transporting bulkier or larger items that otherwise would need to be backed into and out of the container. 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 unique feature makes tunnel containers versatile and flexible. They can be used to meet a variety of transportation and storage needs, as well as being transformed into mobile offices or living spaces. These containers are made of durable, corrosion resistant Corten steel and are able to endure the toughest weather conditions.
If you're looking for a safer alternative, we can join in steel bulkheads onto one of the long sides of the container, creating two separate storage compartments measuring 10 feet. Self-storage companies can use bulkheads to separate customers' belongings into different areas, thereby increasing security. Our double end door containers are also popular for use as ticket entrances for large events, as they're easily able to accommodate lines of people while keeping them dry.
Our 20ft double door tunnel containers come with fork pockets that can be used with industrial forklifts. This means they are able to be stackable or lifted from the corners of each side. These units are also equipped with PIR insulation and heaters which makes them ideal for storage during the entire year.
We can build tunnel containers in custom sizes to meet your precise specifications if you need an additional bespoke solution. We can produce them in single- or double-sided designs, and different lengths. Custom-sized tunnel containers are more expensive than standard shipping containers, so we recommend selecting the most suitable size that meets your needs.
Temperature-Sensitive Goods
The storage of the most dangerous items such as explosives or flammable liquids should be handled at the right temperature. 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.
These fluctuations can often be difficult to identify, particularly during a hectic workday. This is why it's crucial that container terminals use an instrument that provides real-time temperature monitoring across all reefer containers in their facility. This enables personnel to respond swiftly to any issues, preventing any potential risks.
Tunnel containers are a practical option when it comes to transporting and storing temperature-sensitive goods. Double doors are situated at both sides of the container, making it easier to load and unload during transportation as well as storage. They can be used to store large items like vehicles and machinery.
The modified containers are typically made from a standard 20ft or 40ft shipping container. The solid end is taken away and new double doors welded in place, allowing two-way access. They are often used on construction sites where it is necessary to move through and under heavy machinery.
Some terminals transform their tunnel shipping containers to function as a secure site entrance, installing a turnstile or an automated security checkpoint when visitors pass through. These conversions, which aren't available in standard sizes, can be easily customized to meet the needs of specific customers. They are also more affordable than building a whole facility. Tunnel containers are typically only available in a new "one-trip" model because their owners design them specifically for a particular purpose and then keep them. They are sought-after by those who want to expand their business or warehouse without the need to purchase brand new refrigeration facilities. 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
Tunnel containers are an excellent option for storing your cargo. These containers have double doors at both ends, unlike standard dry storage container which only has a single door. This allows you to access your storage container from either side. This makes it easier to load and unload items.
This dual entry point is particularly useful for a storage container that is used to store items that require access to frequently like machinery or equipment. This means you won't need to shift your vehicle in and out of the storage container continuously, which could damage both the container as well as your vehicle.
You can also make use of a tunnel container to store goods that you need to keep at a particular temperature. The refrigerated and thermal tunnel containers are great for this as they have temperature controls that will ensure the goods stored inside are kept at a particular temperature.
A tunnel container is a great solution for a garage or workshop. It lets you reach all parts of your work space without having to move furniture. Dual doors at each end let you quickly access and exit your storage container when needed.
One trip tunnel containers can be built from new with two sets of double doors, or adapted from a conventional shipping container. In the latter, the solid end of the container is removed, and a set of double doors is welded to each end of the container.
The shipping containers are generally only available in brand new one-trip condition, because their owners will have built them for a specific purpose and will not want to sell them off. However, you can purchase refurbished tunnels from some companies that provide this particular type of container. The refurbished containers are tested to ensure they are safe for transport and are available with a longer warranty.
Easy Transportation
Double cargo doors on both sides of the tunnel container make it simple to load and unload 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 also often used as tunnels for temporary use at construction sites due to their safety, durability and flexibility to modify.
Shipping containers with double doors can be excellent storage. Being able to access both sides of the container eliminates the need to completely unload goods or even remove a section of the container in order to access the items stored in the back, which could save time and money. Additionally, the doors on both sides can be locked to prevent any unauthorized entry.
These containers are made of corten steel and are designed to withstand tough conditions. They're water and wind-proof and come with ventilation to ensure adequate airflow. These features will protect your items from moisture and reduce the risk of loss and loss or.
You can select from a variety of options for a container tunnel depending on your requirements. For example open top containers come with an open bow-top that can be removed to allow for a simpler loading of heavy and large cargo. Side-open containers come with doors that are placed on the side of the container making them ideal for storage of smaller items. 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 options in sizes of 20 and 40 feet with doors on both sides to facilitate easy loading. These containers can be customized to meet your requirements but will cost more than a standard double end door container.
