Tunnel Containers
The most important characteristic of tunnel containers, as the name suggests, is the dual doors at the two ends of the container. This significantly improves accessibility and makes them ideal for storage and handling of products.
They are also popular for converting into self storage units as you can divide them by putting up an enclosure wall. We have assisted customers to make use of them for plant machinery storage and for secure access to sites using turnstiles.
Dual Access
Tunnel containers are an altered version of a standard shipping container with double doors at both ends. It is also known as a 'double-end door container' or a tunnel container, These containers allow access to stored items from both ends.
The dual-end access allows cargo to be loaded and unloaded from either side of the container. This is ideal for transporting bulkier or larger items that would otherwise 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 innovative feature makes tunnel containers versatile and flexible. They can be used for a diverse range of storage and transportation requirements, such as being transformed into living spaces or mobile offices. These containers are constructed of rugged, corrosion resistant Corten steel and are able to stand up to the most severe weather conditions.
If you want a more secure solution We can join steel bulkheads to one of the long sides, resulting in two storage compartments that measure 10 feet. Self-storage companies can use bulkheads to separate customers' belongings into distinct areas, which increases security. Double-end door containers are also popular as ticket entrances for large events because they are able to easily accommodate lines of people while keeping them dry.
Our new 20ft double door tunnel containers come with fork pockets that are suitable for industrial forklifts. This means that they are able to be stackable or lifted at the corners of each side. We've also added PIR insulation and heaters to these containers which makes them suitable for storage all year round.
We can manufacture tunnel containers in customized sizes to meet your precise requirements if you require a more bespoke solution. We can make them in single- or double-sided models, as well as different lengths. Custom-sized tunnel containers are more expensive than regular shipping containers, so we suggest choosing the smallest size that will meet your needs.
Temperature-Sensitive Goods
The storage of the most dangerous items such as explosives or flammable liquids should be done at optimal temperatures. Any temperature fluctuations could alter their stability, and lead to a fire or release 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.
Often these fluctuations can be difficult to detect, particularly in the middle of a busy day. Container terminals should have a system to keep track of the temperature of all reefer containers at their facility. This gives personnel the ability to react quickly in case of any abnormalities and prevent any potential risks.
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 constructed from regular shipping containers that measure 20ft or 40ft. The solid end is removed, and a set of double doors is welded into place to provide two-way access. They are often used on construction sites, where it is required to pass through and under heavy machinery.
Some terminals convert their tunnel shipping containers to be used as a secure site entrance by installing a turnstile or an automated security checkpoint when visitors go 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 complete facility. Tunnel containers are typically only available in a new 'one trip' condition, as their owners create them specifically for a particular purpose and then keep them. This makes them a highly sought-after product for those wanting to increase their business or storage capacity for warehouses without having to invest in 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
If you're looking for storage for your cargo, tunnel containers are an excellent option. The containers are double doors at both ends of the container, which is different from standard dry storage containers which have doors on one side. This means that you are able to enter your storage container from either side which allows for more convenient access and faster loading and unloading of goods.
This dual entry point can be particularly beneficial when storing goods that require regular access, like machinery and equipment. This means that you won't need to reverse your vehicle constantly into and out of the container, which could cause damage to your vehicle as well as the container.
You can also utilize a tunnel container for store items that you need to keep at a specific temperature. The thermal and refrigerator tunnel containers are ideal for this since they have temperature control that keeps the contents at a particular temperature.
In addition to allowing an easy access for your workers, a tunnel container is a perfect solution for garages or workshops, as it allows you to easily reach every area of your workspace without having to move things around. Dual doors at each end allow you to swiftly enter and exit your storage container if needed.
One-trip tunnel containers are offered as new constructions, with two sets of double doors or modified shipping containers. In the latter the solid end of the container is removed and a set of double doors installed at each end of the container.
These shipping containers are typically only available in new"one-trip" condition, because their owners will have created them for a specific purpose and will not wish to sell them off. However, you are able to purchase refurbished tunnels from some companies that offer this specialised container type. The recycled containers have been checked to ensure they are safe for transportation and can be sold with an extended warranty for added peace of mind.
Easy Transportation
The double cargo doors on both ends of tunnel containers makes it easy to load and unload items from either end. These containers are ideal for transporting general and bulk cargo, as well as specific goods like motorbikes or automobiles. 40 ft tunnel container are also used as tunnels for temporary use at construction sites due their security, durability, and ease of modification.
Shipping containers with double doors can be fantastic storage. The ability to access both sides of the container means that there is no need to completely unload the goods or remove a section of the container in order to access the stuff stored in the back, which will save time and money. The doors at both ends can be locked to protect any unauthorized access.
These containers are made from corten steel and are designed to withstand tough conditions. They are wind and watertight, and feature ventilation to ensure airflow. These features will protect your items from moisture and decrease the risk of loss and spoilage.
You can pick from a range of options for a container tunnel based on your requirements. Open top containers, for instance, have a bow-top that can be removed to enable loading large and heavy cargo easier. Side-open containers are equipped with doors on the sides, which makes them ideal for storing small goods. A refrigerated ISO container, or reefer, has a regulated temperature and can be used to store temperature-sensitive goods.
The containers are available in new and refurbished options in sizes of 20 and 40 feet with doors on both ends to allow for easy loading. They can also be custom sized to meet your individual requirements however this will be more expensive than a standard double-end door container.
