Tunnel Container Uses

The tunnel container is called a double door shipping container. They have the same dimensions of normal ISO containers, but they are opened at both ends. This feature gives easy access to the cargo and is useful when you are using the container for storage or conversion project.

Transport

A tunnel container can be used for a variety different reasons. Dual entry points make it easy to access equipment and materials at either end. This makes it easier to transport palletised loads with forklifts, and it makes it easier to manage stock flow. Tunnel containers are often used as bridges for temporary use on construction sites, and also as ticket entrances for events such as festivals.

They are also a great option for self-storage. By erection of an iron bulkhead partition, one 20ft tunnel container can become two 10ft units, maximising return on investment. Tunnel containers can be modified in various ways, such as adding lighting inside, as well as side windows, making them even more convenient for companies.

The double doors on both ends of the container make it ideal for storing large or bulky items. This is especially useful in warehouses, where it can be hard to fit huge machinery or vehicles into the standard shipping containers. You can save a lot of time by not having to constantly move the container.

40 ft tunnel containers containers can be fitted with heating and cooling systems, which allows them to be used for temperature controlled storage of items such as foods chemical, pharmaceuticals, chemicals and electronics. They can be fitted with ventilation to prevent condensation.

Like normal shipping containers, tunnel containers are available in both 20ft and 40ft tunnel container sizes. They meet ISO shipping standards and CSC coated to be used for international freight. They can also be weatherproofed by adding insulation.

They can be transported on flat-bed chassis or flat-bed trucks, or mounted on a frame for a truck or tracks. They are also a great alternative for law enforcement equipment as they can be easily moved between bases and may stop the identification of high value equipment such as command and control centres or mobile operating theatres. They can even be shipped with a range of weapons including missile launchers. The Container City in Cholula, Mexico is an excellent illustration of how old sea containers can be transformed into restaurants, galleries and workshops - and homes!

Storage

Double end doors containers, also known as Tunnel Containers, allow access to the storage items at both ends of a container. This greatly improves the ease of access for loading/unloading and allows full use of the storage space. These units are ideal for self-storage facilities as they permit access to both sides without having to take items off. This is especially useful for those who store large, bulky or awkward items like machinery and heavy equipment.

Additionally the tunnel container's design allows them to be easily converted into offices or other safe storage spaces. Tunnel containers unlike open-sided shipping containers can be opened from both ends and locked at the other end. This is why they are ideal for creating on-site offices or even housing if required.

These shipping containers can be used to store specialised items. For instance military units can make use of containers 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 equipments to be moved via road.

In the same way, industrial equipment that is specialized like turbines and generators can be shipped in this way as well. This enables rapid deployment of critical infrastructure in areas where it is required and drastically reduces the time and expense associated with the installation of fixed infrastructure.

These units are able to be fitted with an automatic temperature control system as well as an insulation for thermal purposes if you are shipping a risky cargo such as chemicals or biological materials. This allows the unit to maintain an extremely low temperature, which will prevent any loss or damage.

These containers are also available with a tarp cover that can be removed that allows for greater flexibility in loading and unloading. This permits large or bulky items to be transported that would otherwise be too large to fit into standard shipping container tunnel containers, such as timber, construction materials or large machinery. For added security, these units can also be equipped with a high security lockbox which prevents entry from the top of the container.

Stuffing & De Stuffing

When it comes to shipping and storage logistics professionals use various terms to describe how cargo is readied to be transported and moved through the supply chain. These terms refer to container stuffing and de-stuffing, which refer to the method by which goods are placed into or removed from the shipping container. Understanding these concepts is essential to the success of any business that utilizes shipping containers to store or distribute goods.

Stuffing a container tunnel involves strategically placing freight in order to maximize space and meet specific logistic requirements. Depending on the nature the cargo, specific packing and loading methods must be used to prevent damage during transit. It is essential to place the bulkiest cargo on the bottom, and stack lighter items above. Additionally, it is important to use the appropriate security measures in order to prevent cargo from shifting during transit. Optimising the container tunnel load also aids in reducing shipping, handling, and labour costs per unit and ensures that the container is in compliance with regulations to ensure safe transport.

Unloading or de-stuffing a container is an essential step in maintaining the efficiency of your supply chain. This process eliminates any excess freight from a shipping container, and requires careful inspection to detect indications of water damage or other physical damage that could affect the integrity of the cargo. Compliance with regulations and effective communication between the logistics provider and shipper are key to a successful de-stuffing operation.

Refurbished tunnel containers are an affordable alternative for businesses that require an efficient and secure access point to their site. The containers can be modified to serve as a turnstile or manual secure entry checkpoint that prevents access to restricted areas within the facility. These units are popular for temporary bridges and as ticket entrances for large events.

Although tunnel containers aren't the most popular type of shipping container however, they're becoming more popular in multimodal logistics applications. They are ideal for both shipping and storing, as their doors that are double-ended allow access from either side. Self-storage is a popular option for companies that want 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 a lot less expensive than buying new storage containers.

Security

Tunneling is a method used to establish a direct connection between two points of an internet. It encapsulates packets that use one routing protocol within other protocols so that routers at both ends of a tunnel can be directly connected to one another.

This permits different applications to use a common infrastructure. A company, for example can create tunnels to connect its internal resources with the internet. This can help them maintain uniform security policies for their employees and customers. The company can protect sensitive data from being intercepted by using tunnels.

Despite being constructed of steel, container cargo loads are still vulnerable to theft. The methods of thieves have evolved and they are now able to break into steel containers by cutting off the hinges or doors. For this reason, it's important for companies to implement measures to prevent their containers from being taken.

One way to accomplish this is to put a lockbox on the doors. These are steel shrouds that fit around the lug that secures the padlock on the container doors, and they make it difficult to access the padlock area with bolt cutters. Companies can also add a high security alarm that alerts the company if someone tries to cut through the lockbox.

Installing the turnstile, or manual entry checkpoint with secured access is another method to enhance security. This is especially beneficial when people are entering in large numbers. It can be used to keep guests out of the rain and wind while security personnel can inspect the people as they enter the venue.

Shipping containers are available in various dimensions and conditions. This lets businesses choose the one that best suits their needs. For instance, some are designed for bulky items, such as machinery and vehicles. Some containers come with doors on both ends to allow loading and unloading to be made easier. There are even refrigerated container that can be used to transport fresh food.
