Tunnel Containers

The main characteristic of tunnel containers as the name implies is the dual doors at the two ends of the container. This significantly improves accessibility, making them ideal for storage and goods handling.

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

Dual Access

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

Dual-end access permits cargo to be loaded or unloaded from either side of the container. This is perfect for transporting heavier or bigger items that need to be backed into and out of the box. Double-end access also removes the necessity of unloading the entire container in order to access the items stored inside, which reduces time and minimizes the risk of damage during transportation.

This clever feature makes these tunnel containers flexible and adaptable. They can be used to satisfy various storage and transport requirements as well as be converted into mobile offices or living spaces. Because they're constructed of tough, corrosion-resistant Corten steel These containers can withstand the most extreme weather conditions.

If you are looking for an extra secure solution, we can join steel bulkheads to one of the long sides, resulting in two storage compartments with a total of 10 feet. Self-storage businesses can use them to separate their customers' belongings in different areas, which increases security. Double-end door containers are very popular for large events as ticket entrances because they can hold long lines of people and keep them dry.

Our 20ft tunnel containers double-door tunnel containers feature fork pockets that are suitable for industrial forklifts. This means they can be easily stacked or lifted from the corners of each long side. We've also installed PIR insulation and heaters to these containers which allows them to be used for storage throughout the year.

If you're looking for a more custom-designed container we can also make tunnel containers that are custom-sized to match your specific requirements. We can produce containers in single- or double-sided designs, and different lengths. Custom-sized tunnel containers are more expensive than regular shipping containers, so we recommend choosing the closest size that will meet your needs.

Temperature-Sensitive Goods

The storage of the most dangerous goods such as explosives or liquids that ignite is best done at optimal temperatures. Any temperature fluctuations could alter their stability, and lead to a combustion 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 in the middle of a busy day. This is why it's essential that container terminals use an instrument that provides real-time temperature monitoring for all reefer containers in their facility. This allows staff 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 situated at both ends of the container, making it easier to load and unload during transport and storage. They can also be used to store bulky objects, such as vehicles and machinery.

These modified containers are made from typical shipping containers of 20 ft tunnel container or 40 ft tunnel container feet. The solid end is removed and the double door set is welded into place to create two-way access. They are a popular choice on construction sites where it is necessary to move over and under heavy equipment.

Some container terminals even transform their tunnel shipping containers to be used as a secure entrance to the site by installing a turnstile or an automated security checkpoint when visitors traverse through. These conversions, not available in standard sizes, can be modified to meet the specific needs. They are also more affordable than building a whole facility. Tunnel containers are generally only available in a 'one trip' condition, as their owners create them specifically for a certain use and then retain them. This makes them a sought-after product for those who want 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

Tunnel containers are an excellent option for storing your cargo. These shipping containers have double doors at both ends of the container, in contrast to standard dry storage containers which have doors on one side. This means that you are able to enter the storage container from both sides which allows for more convenient access and faster loading and unloading of items.

This dual entry point is particularly beneficial for a container that will be used to store items that need frequent access to, such as machinery or equipment. It means that you don't have to constantly reverse vehicles in and out of the container, which could harm your vehicle as well as the container.

You can also make use of a tunnel container to store items that you need to keep at a specific temperature. The thermal and refrigerator tunnel containers are great for this since they have temperature control that keeps the contents at a particular temperature.

In addition to offering an easy access for your workers, a tunnel container is a great solution for a workshop or garage because it allows you to easily reach all areas of your workspace without the need to move things around. The dual doors at each end let you get in and out of your storage container in a matter of minutes in the event of need.

One-trip tunnel containers can be built from scratch with two sets of double doors or adapted from a standard shipping container. In the second instance, the solid end is removed from the container. A pair of double doors is attached to each end.

Shipping containers like these are usually only available as new in a 'one-trip condition' because their owners have built them specifically for a certain purpose and don't want them to be sold. However, you can still buy refurbished tunnel containers from a few companies who offer this specialised container type. These refurbished containers have been inspected to ensure they're safe for transport and come with a longer warranty to provide additional peace of mind.

Easy Transportation

Double cargo doors at both ends of the tunnel container make it easy to load and unload goods from either end. These containers are ideal for transporting bulk and general cargo, as well as specific goods like motorbikes or automobiles. These containers are often used to create temporary tunnels on construction sites due to their durability, safety and flexibility in modifying.

Shipping containers with double doors are ideal for storage. The ability to open both sides of a container can save you time and money by eliminating the requirement to remove the entire container or section to access the items stored at the back. Furthermore, the doors at both ends can be locked to prevent unauthorised entry.

These containers are extremely sturdy, and due to being made from corten steel, they're designed to withstand harsh weather conditions. These containers are wind and watertight, and have ventilation to ensure that airflow is maintained. These features can protect goods from moisture, decreasing the risk of loss and deterioration.

You can pick from a range of options for a container tunnel based on your needs. 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 on the side, which makes them ideal for storing small goods. A refrigerated ISO container tunnel, 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 20ft and 40ft tunnel container sizes, with doors on both sides to facilitate easy loading. They can also be custom sized to meet your individual requirements, but it will cost more than a standard double-end door container.
