Shipping Container Tunnel
Shipping container tunnels, also called double-end doors, have typical double doors on both sides of a container. When they are opened, they create tunnels. This allows easy access and greatly enhances the ease of loading and unloading cargo.
Tunnel containers are now available in a "one trip" condition and can be used for a wide variety of conversion and storage projects. They are utilized by a variety of customers to create small, secure storage areas, simply by splitting the middle.
Easy Access
With two standard double doors at both ends tunnel shipping containers provide an easier access to storage items than a regular container with just one set of doors. This makes them incredibly popular with self-storage companies who utilize them to create separate storage areas for different kinds of objects - for instance boxes and tools in one, and furniture or equipment in the other.
Tunnel containers are also suitable for companies that need to store or transport large or bulky objects e.g. automobile dealerships, construction firms and manufacturing firms. Due to their dual entry points tunnel containers are able to be loaded or unloaded faster than standard containers. This increases productivity, reduces costs and avoids costly delays.
The dual access points make tunnel containers incredibly efficient for loading and unloading heavy items that are too big to fit through a single entrance e.g. furniture, heavy machinery, and vehicles. They can be used to accommodate hand dollys and forklift ramps, which are very useful when working in a crowded working environment.
Tunnel containers are weatherproof and can be used outdoors in a variety of different locations. For example, many of our customers utilize tunnel containers to keep their staff and guests safe from wind and rain during security checks at large events like concerts and festivals. Two tunnel containers placed end-to-end will keep dozens of people out of the rain and wind while they wait to be scanned or checked in.
Recently, we renovated two tunnel containers into a cozy gift shop to an historic railway site. The shipping container tunnel was fitted with double sockets and lighting for all year round use, using PIR insulation and heaters. The customer was so thrilled with the result that they ordered another container to create a bigger shop!

Easy Storage
One of the most important features of a shipping tunnel is that it is easy to store your cargo inside. Unlike a standard container, which requires you unload everything to access the rear end tunnel containers permit you to open up either side of the box for storage. This makes it easier to manage inventory and also saves time when loading/unloading.
Tunnel containers also come with double doors on both ends walls, making them ideal for cargo storage. This feature will also keep insects out of your storage. This is essential if you are storing perishable items or hazardous chemicals.
Tunnel containers are perfect for self-storage units due to their dual entry points. Simply adding an internal partition in the middle of a shipping container will create two separate 10ft storage spaces that are ideal for businesses that want to move their stock around without having to unload everything from both ends. Tunnel containers are also utilized by many of our clients as 'passages' during music festivals and events, helping to funnel crowds through a particular gap or space.
In the end, the versatility of the shipping container tunnel is what makes it an efficient solution for a broad range of applications. They can be used as portable offices, workshops, warehouses, and more. Storage is made easy by the double-end access and weatherproof seals as well as the capacity to store the container.
Shipping containers are constructed from corrosion-resistant Corten steel, which means they're able to handle harsh environments and frequent transportation easily. They can also withstand strong winds and, if covered, will protect your items from dust, rain and snow.
The insulated walls and roof of the tunnels of shipping containers aid in protecting your stored goods, as well as keeping temperatures steady. This is especially important for perishable items or chemicals that can be affected by extreme temperature fluctuations. Shipping containers also help keep dust and moisture out, which can increase the longevity of your stored items.
Easy Loading and Unloading
When loading cargo into the tunnels of shipping containers, it's important to stack items vertically whenever it is possible and secure them with load bars or straps. This is so that when the containers are transported by sea or rail the containers don't move and cause damage. It's a good idea also to place heavier items at the lower levels of containers and lighter items on top. It is also important to keep flammable items from other items and anything that could be in contact with liquids, such as for example chemicals.
The double doors at both ends of tunnel containers permit easy access to items inside the container, which is where you might be unable to access them with the standard shipping container. This makes tunnel containers ideal for storage of inventory, both for commercial and personal use. They are also used by numerous self-storage companies that divide them in the middle to create two smaller stores, giving easy access from both sides (where conventional containers could only have one entry point).
Tunnel containers can be modified just as easily as any other shipping container. This means that you can add lighting and even windows, depending on your needs. They can also be transformed into offices, workshops or retail spaces.
Always do a thorough check prior to purchasing any storage product. This includes making sure the container is in dry and clean condition and free of any scratches, holes or tears. Check the corners for damage and ensure that the locking mechanisms are in good shape. You should ensure that the container is equipped with an active CSC plate, and can be loaded for international shipping.

The unique characteristics of the shipping container tunnel make it a great alternative for creating a well created and unusual home. Based on your budget, you can include various additional features to create an individual and comfortable living space. You can transform your traditional dwelling into a unique and useful piece of art by incorporating elements like windows, doors as well as terraces, plumbing and electrical.
Before you begin building your home in a tunnel container, it is important to keep in mind that the process of remodeling and conversion of a shipping container requires more than simply putting up walls. There are many different steps involved that you should consider, including hiring a construction expert who specializes in the conversion of shipping containers.
The container you choose for shipping must be the same size as other container you are planning to connect. If the containers are not properly aligned structural issues could arise. It is essential to choose a container in good condition as older units are more prone to damage due to corrosion or other causes in transit and storage.
Before you purchase a tunnel shipping container, it is important to be aware of what you intend to use it for. For instance, if using it to create a warehouse, it could be best to purchase a large cube container with plenty of extra room. This will give you more room to move around and store things, as well as making it easier to connect multiple shipping containers if required.
