With two standard double doors at both ends, tunnel shipping containers offer an easier access to storage items than a standard container with one set of doors. This makes them incredibly popular with self-storage companies who use them to create separate storage areas for different kinds of objects - for example, boxes and tools in one section and furniture or equipment in the other.

Tunnel containers are great for businesses that require to store large or bulky objects, e.g. Construction firms, car dealerships and manufacturing firms.

They can easily accommodate fork lift ramps and hand dolly ramps, which are extremely beneficial in busy work environments.

Since they are constructed of weatherproof steel, tunnel containers can be employed in a variety outdoor settings. Many of our customers utilize tunnel containers to keep their guests and staff from the elements of wind and rain when they are undergoing security checks for large events like concerts and festivals. Two tunnel containers laid end to end can keep a large number of people safe from the elements while waiting to be scanned or checked in.

We've also recently provided and converted two tunnel containers for a railway heritage site who wanted to create a cosy gift shop. With the help of PIR insulation and heaters the tunnel for shipping containers was fitted with lighting and double sockets to allow for year-round use. The client was so pleased with the result that they ordered another container to build a larger shop!

Easy Storage

The ability to store cargo inside the shipping container is among the most important advantages of a tunnel.

A shipping container can be divided into two separate storage spaces of 10 feet by adding an internal partition. This is ideal for businesses that require to rotate their inventory easily without having to unload from both ends. A lot of our customers use tunnel containers to serve as "passages" during music festivals and other events that allow them to funnel crowds into specific areas.

The roof and walls of the tunnel for shipping containers are insulated to ensure temperatures remain steady, while also protecting your stored goods. This is particularly crucial for perishable items or chemicals that can be affected adversely by extremes of temperature.

Easy Loading & Unloading

It is crucial to stack cargo vertically in a shipping tunnel and fix it using straps or load bars. This ensures that when the containers are being transported via rail or sea, the containers won't shift around and cause damage. It's also recommended to place heavier items on the bottom of the container, and lighter ones on top. It is also important to keep flammable items from other items and anything else that could be contaminated by liquids, for example chemicals.

The double doors at both ends of tunnel containers allow easy access to items that are located in the middle of the container, areas where you might have trouble with the standard shipping container. Tunnel containers are perfect to store personal and business inventory. They are also utilized by a variety of self-storage companies that divide them in the middle to create two smaller stores, which gives easy access from both sides (where a standard container would only have one entry point).

Tunnel containers can be modified as easily as any other shipping container. You can also include windows and lighting depending on what you need. They can be turned into retail, office or workshops.

It is recommended to conduct a thorough inspection before buying any storage solution. This includes making sure the container is in good and dry condition and free of cracks, tears or holes.
