Tunnel Container Uses

Tunnel containers are also known as double door shipping containers, they have the same dimensions as a standard ISO container but the different is that they are opened at both ends. This feature gives easy access to the cargo and is beneficial if you use the container as a storage or conversion project.

Transport

Tunnel containers are great for a variety. The dual entry points allow for easy access to equipment and other materials from both ends, making it easier for palletised loads to be transported using forklifts, and makes the management of stock flow simpler. Tunnel containers are commonly used as temporary bridges at construction sites, and as ticket entrances for events like festivals.

They also provide a great solution for self storage. By erection of an iron bulkhead partition, one 20ft tunnel container can become two 10ft units, maximizing ROI. Tunnel containers can be modified in many ways. They can include side windows and lighting which makes them more practical for businesses.

Double doors at both ends of the container are ideal for storage of large or bulky items. This is particularly useful in warehouses where it may be difficult to squeeze large machinery or vehicles into the standard shipping containers. It will save you a huge amount of time when you don't have to continually move the container around which allows you to keep moving your merchandise throughout the day.

Tunnel containers can be outfitted with heating and cooling units, allowing them to be used as temperature-controlled storage for goods such pharmaceuticals, food, and chemicals. They can also be equipped with ventilation systems that prevent condensation in the goods.

Tunnel containers are available in 20ft and 40ft tunnel container sizes, similar to standard shipping containers. They comply with ISO shipping standards and are CSC coated for international freight use and can be weatherproofed by adding insulation.

They can be mounted on truck frames or tracks or transported on flat-bed or chassis trucks. They are also an excellent option for law enforcement equipment as they can be easily transported between bases and can hinder the identification of high-value equipment like command and control centres or mobile operating theatres. They can be shipped with various weapons such as missile launchers. The Container City in Cholula, Mexico is an excellent example of how the old sea containers can be turned into galleries, restaurants, workshops - as well as homes!

Stores

Double-end doors containers, also referred to as Tunnel Containers, allow access to the storage items at both sides of a container. This makes it easier to gain access for loading/unloading and allows full use of the storage space. This makes these containers ideal as self-storage facilities providing access to both sides of the container without having to take items off. This is particularly beneficial for those who store larger, bulky or awkward objects like machinery or heavy equipment.

In addition to this, the tunnel container design permits these units to be easily converted into offices or other secure storage spaces. Unlike open side shipping containers, which must be completely unloaded to gain access to the contents tunnel containers can be opened from either side and the doors locked shut again. This makes them ideal for creating on-site offices and even housing if required.

These containers can also be used to store specialised equipment. For example military units can use containers to transport high-value systems to temporary sites like command and control centers or mobile operating theatres, eliminating the need for these costly equipments to be transported by roads.

This method can also be used to transport special industrial equipment such as generators or turbines. This allows for rapid deployment of critical infrastructure to areas where it is required, reducing time and costs associated with constructing fixed infrastructure.

These units can be outfitted with a temperature control system and thermal insulation in the event that you are shipping dangerous cargo, like chemicals or biological materials. This lets the unit maintain an extremely low temperature, which will prevent any loss of food.

These containers are also available with a removable tarp cover, providing extra flexibility for loading and unloading. This permits tall or bulky cargo to be transported that otherwise would not fit inside traditional shipping containers, including construction materials, timber, or large machines. For extra security, these containers may be equipped with a lockbox of high security that prevents access from the top of the container.

Stuffing & De Stuffing

When it is about storage and shipping, logistics professionals use a variety of terms to describe how cargo is prepared to be transported and moved through a supply chain. Container stuffing and destuffing are terms that describe the process of removing or loading goods from a container. Understanding these concepts is important to the success of any company that uses shipping containers to store or distribute goods.

Stuffing a container tunnel involves strategically placing freight in order to maximize space and meet specific logistical requirements. To prevent damage in transport, packing and loading techniques that are specific to the cargo should be employed. It is essential to place the heaviest cargo on the bottom and stack lighter items on top. Also it is crucial to employ the appropriate security measures to stop cargo from shifting during transit. Optimizing the load of the container also aids in reducing shipping and handling costs, as well as labour costs per unit and ensures compliance with regulations to ensure safe transport.

When the container arrives at its destination, container de-stuffing or unloading is an essential step in maintaining the efficiency of the supply chain. This process removes any excess freight from a shipping container and requires careful inspection to detect indications of water damage or other physical damage that could threaten the integrity of the cargo. De-stuffing can only be accomplished in the event that the logistics provider and the shipper are in constant communication and comply with all regulations.

For businesses that require a safe and secure access point to their site, a renovated tunnel shipping containers container is a cost-effective solution. They can be converted to a turnstile, or an entry point that can be manually controlled to block access to restricted areas within the facility. These containers are also popular as bridges for temporary use and as ticket entry points at large-scale events.

While a tunnel container isn't the most popular type of shipping container but they're becoming increasingly sought-after in multimodal logistics applications. They're ideal for storage and shipping, since their double-ended doors allow access from either side. Self-storage is a popular choice for organisations that need to have dual access to their inventory. Portable Space can weld steel bulkhead partitions into containers that are 20 feet long to create two separate 10ft storage compartments. This is much cheaper than purchasing new storage containers.

Security

Tunneling is one method to set up a direct point-to-point connection across a network. It encapsulates packets using one routing protocol in conjunction with other protocols so that routers at either end of the tunnel can directly connect with each other.

This allows multiple applications to use the same infrastructure. A company, for example can create tunnels to connect its internal resources to the public internet. This will allow them to have consistent security policies for all employees and customers. The company can also protect sensitive data from being stolen by using tunnels.

Container cargo loads, even though they are made of steel, are still vulnerable to theft. The methods of thieves have changed and they're capable of breaking into steel containers by cutting off the hinges or doors. Therefore, it is essential that businesses take steps to prevent their containers being taken.

The installation of a lockbox to the door is one method to achieve this. These are steel shrouds that fit around the lug which holds the padlock to the doors of the container, and they make it very difficult to gain access to the padlock with bolt cutters. In addition, companies can install an alarm with a high security level that will alert them if someone attempts to cut the lockbox.

Another method of increasing the security of tunnel containers is to install an automated or manual entry checkpoint. This is particularly beneficial for events that have large crowds. This is a great way to shield guests from the rain and wind and allow security personnel to conduct inspections at the venue.

Shipping containers come in different sizes and configurations, so businesses can find the one that best suits their needs. For instance, some are made for heavy items, such as machinery and vehicles. Others are fitted with doors on both sides, which makes them easier to unload and load. There are refrigerated containers that can be used to transport fresh food.
