Shipping Container 40 ft tunnel containers

Shipping container tunnels, also called double end doors, have typical double doors on both sides of containers. When they are opened they create a tunnel. This allows easy access and greatly improves the ease of loading and unloading cargo.

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 for safe storage by dividing them down the middle.

Easy Access

With two standard double doors at both ends 20ft tunnel container shipping containers give an easier access to items stored than a normal container with just one set of doors. Self-storage companies appreciate them due to the fact that they can be used to create storage spaces for various items. For example, boxes and tools are stored in one section while furniture and other equipment is kept in the other.

Tunnel containers are also ideal for businesses that require storage or transportation of large or bulky objects e.g. Car dealerships, construction firms, and manufacturing companies. The dual entry points of tunnel containers means that the contents of a tunnel container may be loaded and unloaded in less time than the typical container. This improves efficiency, lowers costs, and eliminates costly delays.

The dual access points also make tunnel containers extremely useful for loading and unloading large objects that are too large to be accommodated in a single door e.g. furniture, heavy machinery and automobiles. They can be used to accommodate forklift ramps and hand dollys which are extremely helpful when working in a crowded environment.

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

We've also recently supplied and converted a pair of tunnel containers for a railway heritage site who wanted to create a cosy gift shop. The tunnel for the shipping container was fitted with two sockets and lighting for all year round use, using PIR insulation and heaters. The clients were so impressed with the result that they have since ordered another container from us to create an even bigger and better shop!

We have a range of new 'one trip' tunnel containers on hand and also second-hand ones that have been converted. If you are interested in buying tunnel containers and would like to discuss the possibility, contact us and we can talk you through the options.

Easy Storage

One of the most significant aspects of a shipping container tunnel is that it is easy to store cargo inside. Contrary to a standard container which requires you to take it off everything to access the rear end, tunnel containers allow you to open up either end of the box to store your items. This makes it much easier to manage your inventory and saves your time when loading or unloading.

In addition, 20 ft tunnel container containers are equipped with standard double doors on both end walls, making them perfect for storage of cargo. This feature also keeps the pests out of your storage space. This is crucial for storage of dangerous chemicals or perishable goods.

Because of their dual entry points, tunnel containers are also ideal for converting into self storage units. Simply putting an internal partition down the middle of a shipping container will create two separate 10ft storage spaces that are ideal for companies that want to easily rotate their stock without having to remove everything from both ends. Tunnel containers are also used by many of our clients as 'passages' during music festivals and events which help to direct crowds through a certain space or gap.

The versatility of a shipping container tunnel is what makes it an efficient solution for variety of uses. They can be used as portable warehouses, workshops, offices and much more. In terms of storage, their double-end access and weatherproof seals help to reduce movement within the container, thus reducing the chance of damage.

Shipping containers are made of corrosion-resistant Corten steel, meaning they're able to withstand tough environments and frequent transportation easily. They also can withstand high winds, and if protected, they'll protect your items from snow, rain and dust.

The walls and roof of the tunnel for shipping containers are insulated to ensure temperatures remain stable, while safeguarding your stored goods. This is especially important for perishable goods or chemicals that can be affected negatively by extremes in temperature. Shipping containers can keep moisture and dust out as well, which can significantly improve the life span of the stored items.

Easy Loading and Unloading

It is essential to stack cargo vertically into a shipping tunnel and anchor it with straps or load bars. 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 a good idea also to place heavier items at the bottom of the container and lighter items on top. Also, keep flammable items away from other items and anything else that could be affected by liquids, for example chemicals.

The double doors at both ends of tunnel containers permit easy access to items that are located in the middle of the container, which is where you may have difficulty with the typical shipping container. This makes tunnel containers ideal for storing inventory for both commercial and personal use. Many self-storage businesses use tunnel containers as well. They divide them in half to create two smaller stores and give them an easy access on both sides.

In addition to the dual door accessibility of tunnel containers, they can be modified as easily as other types of shipping container. You can also add windows and lighting depending on what you need. They can also be transformed into workshops, offices or retail spaces.

Always perform a thorough inspection prior to buying any storage solution. This includes ensuring that the container is in good and dry condition and free of cracks, tears or holes. Also, you should inspect the corner posts to make sure they're not damaged, and also ensure that the locking mechanisms are in good working order. Also, you should ensure that the container is equipped with an appropriate CSC plate and is capable of being loaded for international transport.

From windows, doors, and terraces to plumbing and electricity to turn your new home into an unique and practical work of art that will stand apart from other homes.

Before you begin the process of building your tunnel container home it is crucial to keep in mind that the process of remodeling and converting a shipping container involves more than simply putting up walls. It is important to consider a number of aspects, including hiring an expert in the field of shipping container conversions.

Selecting the correct shipping container is an additional step, as it needs to be of the same size as the other shipping container you're planning to connect. If the containers are not aligned correctly structural issues could arise. It's also important to choose a container that's in good shape, as older containers are more prone to corrosion and other damage during storage and transport.

It's also worth assessing what you're going to use the tunnel shipping container for before purchasing it. If you want to use it as an office, for instance it is recommended to select the container that has a big cube. This will allow you plenty of space to store items and move them around. It will also make it easier to join several shipping containers together when needed.
