Shipping Container Tunnel

Shipping container tunnels, also called double-end doors, are the standard double-doors at both ends of the container. When they are opened they create tunnels. This facilitates easy access, and greatly improves the ease and convenience of loading and unloading freight.

Tunnel containers are now available in a "one trip" condition and are suitable for a range of storage and conversion projects. Many customers use tunnel containers to build small stores to store their items in a secure manner by partitioning down the middle.

Easy Access

With a pair of standard double doors at both ends, tunnel shipping containers offer an easier access to items stored than a standard container that has only one set of doors. Self-storage companies love them because they can be used to create storage areas for different things. For example boxes and tools can be stored in one section while furniture and equipment are stored in another.

Tunnel containers are also great for businesses who need to store or transport large or bulky objects e.g. car dealerships, construction companies and manufacturing companies. The dual entry points of tunnel containers ensure that the contents of a tunnel container may be unloaded and loaded in less time than the typical container. This allows for increased productivity, cut costs and prevent costly delays.

The dual access points make tunnel containers extremely useful for loading and unloading large items that are too large to fit through a single entrance e.g. furniture, heavy machinery, and vehicles. They are able to accommodate fork lift ramps as well as hand dolly ramps which are extremely beneficial in busy work environments.

Since they are constructed of weatherproof steel, tunnel containers can be utilized in a variety of outdoor settings. For instance, many of our customers employ tunnel containers to keep their staff and guests safe from rain and wind during security checks at big events like concerts and festivals. Two tunnel containers laid end-to-end can keep a large number of people from the elements while they wait to be checked into.

We've also recently supplied and converted two tunnel containers to a railway heritage site who wanted to create a cosy gift shop. The tunnel for the shipping container was fitted with double sockets and lighting to allow all-year-round use, with PIR insulation and heaters. The customer was so happy with the results, that they ordered another container to build a larger shop!

We have a variety of brand new "one trip" tunnel containers in stock as well as used ones that have been converted. If you are looking to purchase tunnel containers contact us and we'll be able to talk you through the options.

Easy Storage

One of the most significant features of a shipping tunnel is that it makes it simple to store cargo inside. Unlike a standard container, which requires you unload everything to get to the rear end, tunnel containers allow you to open either end of the box to store your items. This makes it easier to manage inventory and saves time when loading/unloading.

In addition, tunnel containers have standard double doors on both end walls, making them perfect for storage of cargo. This feature can also help keep insects out of your storage, which is extremely important for those who plan to store hazardous chemicals or perishable products.

Because of their dual entry points, tunnel containers are also ideal for converting into self-storage units. By simply putting an internal partition down the middle of a shipping container can create two separate storage spaces of 10 feet which is ideal for companies that want to move their stock around without having to unload everything from both ends. Tunnel containers are also utilized by many of our customers as 'passages' during festivals and music events which help to direct crowds through a specific gap or space.

The flexibility of the shipping container tunnel is what makes it an effective solution for a wide range of applications. They can be transformed into portable offices, workshops, warehouses and much more. Storage is made easy by the double-end access seals, weatherproof seals, and the ability to store the container.

Shipping containers are made from corrosion-resistant Corten Steel which means they are able to endure harsh environments and frequent transport. They can also withstand strong winds and, if covered by a protective cover, protect your possessions from rain, dust and snow.

The walls and roof of a shipping container tunnel also aid in protecting the stored goods as well as keeping temperatures steady. This is particularly important for perishable goods or chemicals that can be affected negatively by extremes in temperature. Shipping containers also help keep moisture and dust out, which will increase the life span of your stored items.

Easy Loading & Unloading

When loading cargo into a shipping container tunnel it's important to stack items vertically when possible and secure them with load bars or straps. This is so that when the containers are being transported by sea or rail the containers won't move around and cause damage. It's also an ideal idea to put heavier items at the bottom of the container and lighter ones on top. Keep flammables clear of other objects, and also anything that might be contaminated with liquids.

The double doors at the two ends of tunnel containers permit easy access to items inside the container, where you might be unable to access them with the typical shipping container. This makes tunnel containers ideal to store inventory for both commercial and personal use. Many self-storage businesses use tunnel containers as well. They split them in half to create two smaller stores, and allow them easy access from both sides.

In addition to the dual door accessibility of 20 ft tunnel container containers, they can be modified as easily as other kinds of container for shipping. This means you can add windows and lighting, according to your requirements. They can also be converted into workshops, offices or retail spaces.

If you're looking for a tunnel for your shipping container or another storage solution, you'll need to conduct a thorough inspection prior to buying. Also, make sure whether the container is dry and clean and free of tears, holes or scratched. Check the corners for damage and ensure that all locking mechanisms are in good shape. It is also important to ensure that the container has an active CSC plate and is able to be loaded for international transportation.

Easy Conversion

Tunnel shipping containers have double doors at both ends giving them a tunnel like appearance, this allows for easy loading and access from either end. They are often used to store heavy machinery or warehouse storage since they can accommodate large trucks and tractor. Container homes are also popular because they are able to be easily modified to include windows and doors as well as an interior wall that divides and outdoor areas.

These unique features of the tunnel shipping container make it a great option to create a unique and boldly designed home. Based on your budget, you can incorporate many extra features to create a custom and comfortable living space. From doors, windows, and terraces to plumbing and electricity and more, you can turn your new home into an distinctive and practical piece of art that stands apart from other homes.

However, before you start building your tunnel container home, it's important to remember that the process of remodeling and converting an existing shipping container isn't as simple as simply putting up some walls. There are a variety of different steps that you should consider, including hiring a construction expert who specialises in conversions of shipping containers.

The selection of the appropriate shipping container is an additional step, since it has to be the same size as the other shipping container you're planning to connect. If the containers are not lined up correctly, structural problems could occur. It is essential to choose an item that is in good condition since older units are more susceptible to rust or other damage in transit and storage.

It's also worth considering what you'll use the tunnel shipping container for before purchasing it. For example, if you're using it to create a warehouse, it may be better to choose a large cube container that is large enough to hold plenty of extra room. This will provide plenty of room to store and move items around. It will also make it easier to connect several shipping containers together in the event of need.
