Tunnel Containers

As the name implies, the key feature of tunnel containers is the dual-door design at each end of the Container shipping. This greatly improves access, making tunnel containers ideal for storage and handling.

They are also popular for conversion into self storage units because you can divide them by putting up a partition wall. We have assisted customers to use them for storage of plant machinery and for secure access to sites using turnstiles.

Dual Access

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

The dual-end access allows cargo to be loaded and unloaded from both sides of the container, which is ideal if you're transporting heavier or bulkier items which would otherwise have to be backed into and out of the container. Double-end access eliminates the need to empty the entire container in order to get the goods that are hidden within, thereby saving time and reducing the risk of damage.

This clever feature makes these tunnel containers adaptable and flexible. They can be used to satisfy various storage and transport needs and can also be converted into mobile offices or living spaces. They are made of durable, corrosion resistant Corten steel and are able to stand up to the most severe weather conditions.

If you're seeking a more secure option, we can put in steel bulkheads on one of the long sides of the container, creating two separate storage compartments of 10 feet. This makes them perfect for self-storage companies that wish to enhance security by segregating their customer's items into separate areas. Double-end door containers are also popular as ticket entrances at large events because they're easily able to accommodate crowds of people while keeping them dry.

Our 20ft double-door tunnel containers are fitted with fork pockets designed for large industrial forklifts which means they can be easily stackable or lifted from the corners of both sides. They are also fitted with heaters and PIR insulation making them ideal for storage throughout the year.

If you're looking for a bespoke container solution, we can also manufacture custom-sized tunnel containers to match your specific requirements. We can make them in both double-sided and single-sided models and also in various lengths. Custom-sized tunnel containers are more expensive than regular shipping containers, so we suggest choosing the smallest size that will meet your needs.

Temperature-Sensitive Goods

The storage of the most hazardous items such as explosives or flammable liquids should be done at optimal temperatures. Temperature fluctuations can affect their stability, and could cause 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.

These fluctuations are often difficult to spot, particularly during the busy hours of a day. This is the reason it's vital that container terminals use systems that provide real-time temperature monitoring for all reefer containers inside their facility. This allows staff to react swiftly to any issues, preventing any potential risks.

Tunnel containers are a practical option when it comes to transporting and storing temperature-sensitive goods. They are designed with double doors at both ends, which significantly improves accessibility and speeds loading and unloading procedures during transportation and warehousing. They can be used to store large objects like vehicles or machinery.

These modified containers are usually made from a standard 20ft or 40ft shipping container. The solid end is removed and the double doors is welded into place, creating two-way access. They are popular for use at construction sites, where it is required to pass through and under heavy machinery.

Some container terminals also convert their tunnel shipping containers to be used as a secure entry point to the site by installing a turnstile or manually-operated security checkpoints as visitors go through. Although these conversions aren't offered in a standard size, they can be easily customized to meet specific requirements and are cost-effective compared to constructing an entire facility from scratch. Tunnel containers are usually only available in a "one-trip" model, as their owners create them specifically for a particular use and then retain them. They are therefore highly sought-after by those who want to grow their business or warehouse without the need to purchase brand new refrigeration facilities. 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. They have double doors at both ends, in contrast to a traditional dry storage containers that only has one door. This means that you can enter the storage container from either side, allowing for easier access and faster loading and unloading of goods.

This dual entry point is beneficial for storage containers that will be used to store goods that you need frequent access to, such as machinery or equipment. This means that you won't have to constantly reverse vehicles into and out of the container, which could cause damage to your vehicle as well as the container.

You can also store your goods in a tunnel container when you need to maintain a certain temperature. The thermal and refrigerator tunnel containers are great for this as they are temperature controlled and keeps the contents at a certain temperature.

A tunnel container is a fantastic solution for a garage or workshop. It allows you to reach all parts of your workspace without the need to move furniture. The double doors at the ends allow you to access and exit your storage container quickly, in the event of need.

One-trip tunnel containers are offered as new constructions that come with two sets double doors or modified shipping containers. In the latter scenario the solid end of the container is removed and a set of double doors is welded to each end of the container.

These shipping containers are typically only available in new, 'one-trip' condition, as their owners will have built them for a specific purpose and will not wish to sell them off. However, you are able to buy refurbished tunnel containers from a few companies who offer this type of container. These containers that have been refurbished are tested to ensure they are safe to transport and are sold with a longer warranty.

Easy Transportation

Double cargo doors at both ends of the tunnel container make it easy to load and unload goods from either end. They are perfect for transporting bulk and general cargo as well as special objects like automobiles or motorbikes. These containers are frequently used to construct temporary tunnels on construction sites because of their durability, safety and the ease of modification.

Shipping containers with double doors make for great storage. The ability to gain access to both sides of a container will save you time and money, by removing the necessity of removing the entire container or section to reach the items stored at the back. The doors on both sides can be locked to protect unauthorized access.

These containers are constructed of corten steel and are designed to withstand harsh conditions. They're water and wind-proof and have ventilation to ensure adequate airflow. These features can shield items from moisture, decreasing the risk of spoilage and loss.

Based on your needs You can pick from a variety of options for tunnel containers. For instance open top containers feature a removable bow-top that allows for easier loading of heavy and large cargo. Side-open containers have doors on the sides, which makes them ideal for storing small goods. 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 with doors at both ends for easy loading. They can also be sized to meet your individual requirements, but it will cost more than the standard double-end door container.
