Tunnel Containers
The main feature of tunnel containers, as the name implies is the double door design at both ends of the container. This greatly improves access, making tunnel containers ideal for storage and handling.
They are also popular for converting into self storage units because they can be divided by putting up an enclosure wall. We have also assisted customers use them to house equipment for their plants and to provide secure access to the site with turnstiles.
Dual Access
Tunnel containers are an alternative to the typical shipping container, with double doors at both ends. Known as a 'double end door container' or 'tunnel container' These containers allow access to stored items from both ends.
Dual-end access permits cargo to be unloaded or loaded at either end of the container. This is perfect for transporting heavier or larger objects that must be moved into and out of the box. Double-end access eliminates the requirement to empty the entire container in order to reach goods buried deep inside, saving time and reducing the risk of damage.
This clever feature makes these tunnel containers flexible and adaptable. They can be used to fulfill a variety of storage and transport requirements as well as be transformed into mobile offices or living spaces. Because they're constructed of robust, corrosion-resistant Corten steel they can withstand the harshest weather conditions.
If you want an extra secure solution We can join steel bulkheads to one of the long sides, creating two storage compartments with a total of 10ft. This makes them ideal for self-storage businesses that want to increase security by the items of their customers into distinct areas. Our double end door containers are also well-liked as ticket entrances at large events, since they can easily accommodate lines of people while keeping them dry.
Our 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 from the corners of each side. We've also installed PIR insulation and heaters to these containers which makes them suitable for storage all year round.
If you're looking for a custom-designed container, we can also manufacture tunnel containers that are custom-sized to exactly meet your requirements. We can create tunnel containers with single or double-sided models, as well as different lengths. However, a custom-sized tunnel container will be more expensive than a standard shipping container, so we suggest choosing the size that is closest to your needs.
Temperature-Sensitive Goods
The storage of the most dangerous goods such as explosives or flammable liquids is best done at optimal temperatures. Temperature fluctuations can alter their stability and could cause a 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.
Often, these fluctuations can be difficult to detect, particularly during a hectic workday. Container terminals should have an instrument to monitor the temperature of all reefer containers at their facility. This allows personnel to react quickly to any abnormalities, preventing any potential risks.
Tunnel containers are a practical option when it comes to transporting and storing temperature-sensitive goods. Double doors are located at both ends of the container, which makes it easier to load and unload during transport and storage. They can be used to store large items like vehicles and machinery.
These modified containers are usually constructed from the standard 20 or 40 foot shipping container, the solid end is removed, and a new set of double doors welded in place, creating two-way access. They are often used on construction sites, where it is necessary to move over and under heavy machinery.
Some terminals convert their tunnel shipping containers to be used as a secure entry point to the site with a turnstile, or a 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 less expensive than building a whole facility. Tunnel containers are usually only available in a "one-trip" condition since their owners build them specifically for a particular purpose and then hold onto them. This makes them a highly desired product for those who want to increase their business or storage capacity for 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
Tunnel containers are an ideal option to store your cargo. The containers are double doors on both sides of the container, unlike standard dry storage containers which have doors on one side. This means that you can enter the storage container from either side, allowing for easier access and quicker loading and unloading of goods.
This dual entry point is particularly beneficial when storing goods that require regular access, like machinery and equipment. This means that you don't have to shift your vehicle in and out of the storage container on a regular basis which could cause damage to the container as well as your vehicle.
You can also make use of a tunnel container to store things that you want to keep at a specific temperature. The refrigerated and thermal tunnel containers are great for this as they have temperature controls to ensure that the contents inside are kept at a specific temperature.
A tunnel container is a fantastic solution for a garage or workshop. It allows you to access all areas of your work space without having to move furniture. Dual doors at either end let you quickly access and exit your storage container if needed.
One-trip tunnel containers are available as new constructions, with two sets of double doors or modified shipping containers. In the second scenario the solid end is removed from the container and a pair of double doors are attached to each end.
The shipping containers are generally only available in new one-trip condition, as their owners will have created them for a specific purpose and won't want to sell them on. However, you are able to buy refurbished tunnel containers from some companies that provide this particular type of container. The refurbished containers are tested to ensure that they are safe for transportation and are sold with a longer warranty.
Easy Transportation
The double cargo doors on both sides of tunnel containers makes it easy to load and unload items from either end. This makes them ideal for transporting all types of bulk and general cargo, as well as special items like motorbikes and cars. These containers are often used to build temporary tunnels on construction sites due to their durability, safety and ease in modification.
Shipping containers with double doors are also ideal for storage. The ability to gain access to both sides of a container can save you time and money by eliminating the requirement to remove the entire container or a section to reach the items that are stored in the back. The doors at both ends can be locked to protect any unauthorized access.
These containers are made of corten steel and are designed to stand up to harsh conditions. They are water and wind-proof, and feature ventilation to ensure airflow. These features protect the goods from moisture, thus decreasing the risk of loss and spoilage.
You can select from a variety of options for a container tunnel based on your requirements. Open top containers, for instance, have a bow-top that can be removed to allow loading of large and heavy cargo easier. Side open containers have doors that are set on the sides 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.
They are available in new and refurbished models in sizes of 20 and 40 feet and have doors on both ends to make loading easy. They can be tailored to meet your needs, but will cost more than a standard double door container.
