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 distinction is that they open at both ends. This permits access to cargo quickly and is a valuable feature if you intend to use the container to store or convert projects.

Transport

tunnel shipping container containers can be used for many different reasons. Dual entry points make it simple to access equipment and materials at either end. This makes it easier to transport palletised loads with forklifts, and it simplifying the management of stock flow. Tunnel containers are commonly used as temporary bridges on construction sites, as well as ticket entrances for festivals or other events.

They are also an excellent solution for self storage. By building a bulkhead made of steel, a 20ft container can be divided into two 10ft units. This maximizes return on investment. Tunnel containers can be modified in many ways, to include lighting inside, as well as side windows - making them even more convenient for companies.

Double doors at both ends of the container make it ideal for storage of large or bulky items. This is particularly beneficial for warehouses, where it can be difficult to fit large equipment and vehicles in standard shipping containers. It will save you a huge amount of time since you don't need to constantly shift the container tunnel and allow you to continue moving goods throughout the day.

Tunnel containers can be fitted with cooling and heating systems, allowing them to be used for temperature-controlled storage of products such as food, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and electronic equipment. They can also be fitted with ventilation to avoid condensation.

Tunnel containers are available in 20ft and 40ft sizes, just like standard shipping containers. They are compliant with ISO shipping standards as well as being CSC plated for international freight usage and can be made weatherproof by the addition of 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 an excellent option for law enforcement equipment since they can be easily transported between bases and may prevent unwanted identification of high-value equipment like command and control centers or mobile operating theatres. They can even be shipped with a variety of weapons including missile launchers. Container City in Cholula is a fantastic illustration of how an old sea container can be transformed into workshops, restaurants galleries, or even homes!

Stores

Double end door containers, or Tunnel Containers as they are generally referred to, allow access to the items stored from both sides of the container. This greatly improves the ease of access for loading/unloading and allows full use of the storage space. This makes these units 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 have to store bulky, large or awkward objects such as 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 either side with the doors locked again. This makes them ideal for creating on-site offices or even housing for when needed.

These containers can also be used to store special equipment. For example, military units may use containers to transport high-value equipment to temporary locations such as command and control centres or mobile operating theatres, which eliminates the need for these costly systems to be transported by roads.

This method can also be used to ship specialised industrial equipment, such as turbines or generators. This allows for the rapid deployment of critical infrastructure to regions where it is required, reducing time and costs associated with the installation of fixed infrastructure.

These units are able to be fitted with a temperature control system and a thermal insulation if you are shipping a dangerous cargo such as chemicals or biological materials. This allows them to maintain the temperature at a low level and avoid any loss during transit.

These containers are also available with a tarp cover that can be removed that allows for greater flexibility in loading and unloading. This allows tall or bulky items that aren't able to fit into the standard shipping containers to be transported, including large machinery wood, construction materials or other heavy items. To ensure security, these units can be equipped with a high security lockbox that blocks access from the top of the container.

Stuffing & De Stuffing

When it concerns storage and shipping logistics professionals use various terms to describe the methods by which cargo is readied for transportation and then moved through the supply chain. Container stuffing and destuffing are two terms that describe the process of removing or loading goods from a shipping box. Understanding these concepts is important to the success of any business that utilizes shipping containers to store or distribute goods.

Stuffing a tunnel into a container involves carefully placing the cargo in order to maximize space and meet specific logistical needs. To avoid damage during transport, packing and loading techniques that are specific to the cargo are required. This includes placing the most heavy items on the bottom, putting lighter ones on top and utilizing the appropriate securing measures to keep the cargo from moving during transit. Optimizing the load of the container helps reduce shipping, handling and labor costs, and also ensures compliance with the regulations to ensure safe transportation.

Container de-stuffing, or unloading is a crucial step in maintaining the efficiency of your supply chain. This process eliminates any excess freight from a shipping container, and requires careful inspection to find signs of water damage or other physical damage that could affect the integrity of the cargo. Effective communication and compliance with regulations between the logistics provider and shipper are key to a successful de-stuffing process.

For companies that require a safe and secure access point to their site, a refurbished tunnel container is an effective and cost-effective solution. They can be modified to serve as the option of a turnstile or a manual entry checkpoint that prevents access to restricted areas within the facility. These containers are popular for temporary bridges as well as ticket entrances for large events.

While a tunnel container isn't the most commonly used kind of container for shipping however, they're becoming more popular in multimodal logistics applications. The double doors are ideal for storage and shipping because they are accessible from both ends. They are frequently used for self storage by businesses that require two access points to their inventory. Portable Space can weld steel bulkhead partitions to the 20-foot container to create two separate 10ft storage compartments. This is a lot less expensive than purchasing new storage containers.

Security

Tunneling is a method to establish an instant point-to-point connection over a network. It encapsulates packets using one routing protocol inside other protocols, meaning that routers on either end of the tunnel can then connect directly to one another.

This lets different applications share an infrastructure. For instance, a company, can create tunnels to connect its internal resources to the public internet. This will help them to maintain the same security standards for all employees and customers. Using tunnels, the company can also shield sensitive information from being intercepted by the public network.

Container cargo loads even though they're made of steel, remain susceptible to theft. Thieves have become very sophisticated in their techniques, and they can often break into a container by the removal of its hinges or doors. It's therefore important that businesses take steps to prevent their containers being stolen.

One way to do this is to set up a lockbox on the doors. They are welded steel shrouds that fit over the lug on the container door that holds the padlock. They make it difficult to reach the padlock's area using bolt cutters. Businesses can also install a high security alarm that will alert the company if someone tries to cut through the lockbox.

Installing the turnstile, or manual entry checkpoint that has secure access, is a different method to enhance security. This is particularly helpful in events where people are arriving in large numbers. It can help keep guests away from the rain and wind while security personnel can inspect the people as they enter the venue.

Shipping containers are available in different dimensions and sizes which means that businesses can find the best one to meet their requirements. Some are designed to hold bulky items such as vehicles and machinery. Others are fitted with doors on both sides making them easier to load and unload. There are even refrigerated container that can be used for transporting fresh food items.
