Tunnel Containers - How to Load a Shipping Container

Shipping containers that have double doors at both ends, rather than only one end are known as tunnel containers. They are available as new 'one trip' containers or converted secondhand storage containers.

The dual access points make them ideal for storing items and equipment. Items can be retrieved easily from either end, without the need to move items. If needed, tunnel containers can be divided down the middle into two storage units that are secure.

Easy loading and unloading

When it comes to loading shipping containers, a well-organised strategy can make all the difference. It will protect objects, reduce damage, and make the most of space. Containers can be filled in a variety of ways based on what's being stored or shipped. You can stack boxes vertically to increase their height.
