Tunnel Container Uses

Tunnel containers are also referred to as double door shipping containers. They have the same dimensions as the standard ISO container but the difference is that they open at both ends. This feature gives easy access to the cargo and is beneficial when you are using the container for storage or conversion project.

Transport

Tunnel containers are ideal for a variety of uses. The dual entry points provide easy access to equipment and other materials from either end which makes it easier for palletised items to be transported using forklifts. It also makes stock flow management much easier. tunnel shipping containers containers are commonly used as temporary bridges at construction sites, as well as ticket entry points for events like festivals.

They are also a great option for self-storage. By installing a steel bulkhead partition, one 20ft tunnel container can become two 10ft units, increasing the ROI. Tunnel containers can be modified in many ways, such as adding lighting for the interior, and side windows - making them more suitable for businesses.

The double doors on both ends of the container allow it to be used for storage of bulky or larger items. This is particularly helpful in warehouses, where it can be difficult to fit large vehicles or machinery into the standard shipping containers. You can save time by not having to continuously move the container.

Tunnel containers can be equipped with cooling and heating systems, allowing them to be used for temperature controlled storage of items like food chemical, pharmaceuticals, chemicals and electronics. They can be fitted with ventilation to avoid condensation.

Tunnel containers are available in 20ft and 40ft sizes, just like traditional shipping containers. They are compliant with ISO shipping standards as well as being CSC plated for international freight usage and are weatherproof by adding insulation.

They can be affixed to tracks or frames for trucks or transported on flat-bed or chassis trucks. They are a great option for military and law enforcement equipment as they can easily be moved between bases. This may also hinder the identification of expensive equipment such as command and control centres or mobile operating theaters. They can be shipped with a variety of weapons including missile launchers. The Container City in Cholula, Mexico is an excellent example of how the old sea containers can be converted into restaurants, galleries and workshops - and homes!

Stores

Double end door containers or Tunnel Containers as they are commonly known, provide access to storage items from both sides of the container. This significantly increases ease of access to load and unloading, and allows for full utilisation of storage space. These units are ideal for self-storage facilities because they permit access to both sides without needing to remove items. This is especially useful for those who have to store bulky, large or awkward items such as machinery and heavy equipment.

The tunnel container design allows these containers to be converted into offices or secure storage spaces. Contrary to open side shipping containers that must be completely unloaded in order to gain access to the contents, tunnel shipping containers containers can simply be opened from either side and locked again. This makes them ideal for creating on-site offices and even housing, if needed.

These shipping containers can be used to store specific items. For instance military units could use them to transport high value systems to temporary locations such as command and control centers or mobile operating theatres, which eliminates the need for these costly systems to be transported by road.

This method can also be used to ship industrial equipment that is specialized like turbines or generators. This enables rapid deployment of critical infrastructure in areas where it is required significantly reducing the time and cost involved with the installation of fixed infrastructure.

These units are able to be fitted with the ability to control temperature and thermal insulation in the event that you are shipping a dangerous cargo such as biological or chemical materials. This allows the unit to maintain a low temperature, preventing any loss or damage.

These units are also available with a removable tarp cover that allows for greater flexibility in loading and unloading. This allows tall or bulky items that aren't able to fit in standard shipping containers to be transported, like massive machinery or construction materials, such as timber, or other bulky items. These units can be fitted with lockboxes with high security to prevent access from the top.

Stuffing & De Stuffing

Logistics professionals use different terms to describe how cargo is ready for transport and how it is moved along the supply chain. Container stuffing and destuffing are terms that describe the process of loading or removing items from a shipping container. Understanding these concepts is essential to the success of any company that uses shipping containers to store or distribute goods.

Stuffing a tunnel into a container involves strategically placing freight in order to maximize space and meet particular logistical requirements. Based on the nature of the cargo, specific packing and loading techniques should be employed to prevent damage during transport. It is crucial to place the heaviest cargo on the bottom and place lighter items on top. Additionally it is crucial to use the appropriate security measures to prevent cargo from shifting during transit. Optimizing the container load helps reduce handling, shipping and labor costs. It also ensures compliance with the regulations to ensure safe transportation.

Unloading or de-stuffing of containers is a crucial step in maintaining the efficiency of your supply chain. This involves removing excess freight from a container and involves a careful inspection for any indications of physical damage or water damage that could affect cargo integrity. De-stuffing is only possible if the logistics provider and shipper communicate effectively and adhere to all applicable regulations.

Refurbished tunnel containers are a cost-effective option for businesses who need a safe and secure access point to their site. They can be converted into a turnstile, or a manual entry checkpoint to restrict access to areas of the facility. These containers are popular for temporary bridges and as ticket entry points for large events.

Tunnel containers aren't the most well-known kind of shipping container, but they're gaining in popularity for multimodal logistics. The double doors make them ideal for shipping and storage because they are accessible from both ends. Self-storage is a popular option for companies that want to have two access points to their inventory. Portable Space can weld in steel bulkhead partitions to convert a 20ft tunnel container into two storage compartments that measure 10ft each that are much less expensive than buying new storage containers.

Security

Tunneling is a way to establish an instant connection between two points of the network. It encapsulates packets using one routing protocol in conjunction with other protocols so that routers at either end of a 40 ft tunnel container can be directly connected to one another.

This lets different applications use a common infrastructure. For instance, a company can create tunnels to connect its internal resources and the public internet. This will allow them to have consistent security policies for all employees and customers. With the use of tunnels, a company can also protect sensitive information from being stolen on the public network.

Despite being made from steel, container cargo loads are still susceptible to theft. Thieves have become sophisticated in their tactics and can get inside a container by removing its doors or hinges. For this reason, it is essential for companies to implement measures to protect their containers from being stolen.

One method to accomplish this is to install a lockbox on the doors. They are steel shrouds that are welded that are able to fit around the lug that secures the padlock on the door of the container. they make it very difficult to access the padlock with bolt cutters. Businesses can also install a high security alarm that alerts the company if someone tries to cut through the lockbox.

Installing the turnstile, or manual entry checkpoint that has secured access is another option to improve security. This is especially useful for events that have large crowds. It can be used to keep guests out of the wind and rain while security personnel can check people's entry into the venue.

Shipping containers come in various sizes and conditions which means that businesses can find the one that best suits their needs. For instance, some containers are designed to accommodate bulky objects, such as vehicles and machinery. Some are equipped with doors on both sides, which makes them easier to unload and load. There are refrigerated containers that can be used for transporting fresh food.
