Shipping Container Tunnel

Shipping container tunnels, also known as double-end door containers have standard double doors at both ends of the container, which effectively creates a tunnel when it is opened. This allows for 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 can be used for a range of conversion and storage projects. Many customers utilize tunnel containers to build small stores to store their items in a secure manner by partitioning down the middle.

Easy Access

Tunnel shipping containers have two double doors on each end, making it easier to access stored items than containers with just one set of doors. Self-storage businesses love them because they can be used to create storage spaces for various things. For example boxes and tools are kept in one area while furniture and machinery is kept in another.

Tunnel containers are also ideal for businesses that require storage or transport of large or bulky objects e.g. Construction firms, car dealerships, and manufacturing companies. The dual entry points of tunnel containers means that the contents of a tunnel container may be unloaded and loaded in a shorter time than the typical container. This can help increase efficiency, reduce costs and prevent costly delays.

The dual access points make tunnel containers extremely convenient for loading and unloading heavy items that are too big to fit through a single door e.g. furniture, heavy machinery and cars. They can accommodate hand dollys and forklift ramps which are extremely helpful when working in a busy environment.

Since they are made of weatherproof steel, tunnel containers can be used in a variety of outdoor settings. For example many of our clients utilize tunnel containers to keep their staff and guests out of the wind and rain during security checks at big events like concerts and festivals. Two tunnel containers placed end-to-end can keep a large number of people out of the elements while waiting to be scanned or checked in.

We've also recently supplied and converted a pair of tunnel containers for an historic railway site that wanted to set up a cozy gift shop. With the help of PIR insulation and heaters the tunnel for shipping containers was fitted with lighting and double sockets for year-round use. The customer was so thrilled with the results, that they ordered a second container to expand the shop!

We have a selection of brand new "one trip" tunnel containers available as well as converted second-hand ones. If you are interested in purchasing 20ft tunnel container containers and would like to discuss the possibility, contact us and we can guide you through the options.

Easy Storage

The ability to store cargo inside a shipping container is among the most important features of tunnels. Unlike a standard container, which requires you unload everything to access the rear, 40 ft tunnel container containers allow the possibility of opening either end of the box to store your items. This makes it easier to manage inventory and saves time when loading or unloading.

In addition, tunnel containers are equipped with standard double doors on both walls, making them ideal for storage of cargo. This feature helps keep insects out of your storage, which is crucial if you plan on storing perishable goods or hazardous chemicals.

Because of their dual entry points, tunnel containers are also ideal for conversion into self storage units. Simply adding an internal partition down the middle of a shipping container can create two separate 10ft storage spaces, which is perfect for companies that want to easily rotate their stock without having to unload everything from both ends. Tunnel containers are also utilized by many of our clients as 'passageways' at festivals and music events that help funnel crowds through a specific gap or area.

In the end, the flexibility of the shipping container tunnel is what makes it an effective solution for a broad range of applications. They can be converted into portable offices, workshops, warehouses, and more. Storage-wise the double-end access and weatherproof seals assist to reduce movement within the container, thereby reducing the risk of damage.

Shipping containers are constructed of corrosion-resistant Corten Steel that is able to endure harsh environments and frequent transport. They also can withstand high winds, and if they're covered, they will protect your possessions from snow, rain and dust.

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

Easy Loading and Unloading

When loading cargo into the tunnels of shipping containers, it is essential to stack items vertically whenever it is possible and secure them with straps or load bars. This ensures that when the containers are transported via rail or sea, the containers don't move and cause damage. It's also a good idea to place heavier items at the the bottom of the container and lighter items on top. You should also keep flammable items out of other items as well as anything that might be contaminated by liquids, for instance, chemicals.

The double doors at both ends of tunnel containers allow easy access to items that are located in the middle of the container, which is where you may have difficulty with the standard shipping container. This makes tunnel containers ideal for storage of inventory, both for 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 easy access on both sides.

In addition to the dual door access of tunnel containers, they can be modified as easily as other kinds of container for shipping. You can also add windows and lighting according to what you require. They can be converted into retail, office or workshops.

Whether you are looking for a tunnel for your shipping container or any other type of storage solution, you'll want to conduct a thorough check prior to making a purchase. This includes making sure the container is in a dry and clean condition, free of holes, tears or scratches. You should also look at the corners to ensure they're not damaged, and also ensure that all locking mechanisms are functioning. You'll want to ensure that the container is equipped with an active CSC plate and is able to be loaded for international transportation.

Before you start building your tunnel container home, it is important to keep in mind that the process of remodeling and changing the shape of a shipping container is more than just the construction of walls. There are a variety of different steps that you must consider such as hiring a professional in construction who is specialized in conversions of shipping containers.

The shipping container you choose should be the same size as any other container you are planning to connect. Otherwise, there could be structural issues if the containers aren't aligned properly. It is essential to choose an item that is in good condition as older units are more prone to damage due to corrosion or other causes during storage and transport.

Before you purchase a tunnel shipping container, it is important to be aware of what you intend to use it for. For instance, if you're using it to build a warehouse, it could be best to get a high cube container that is large enough to hold plenty of extra room. This will give you plenty of space to store and move things around. It will also make it easier to join several shipping containers when needed.
