Tunnel Container Uses

Tunnel containers are also referred to as double door shipping containers. They have the same dimensions as a standard ISO container, however the difference is that they open at both ends. This allows access to cargo easily and is an excellent feature if you are using the container for storage or conversion projects.

Transport

Tunnel containers are ideal for a variety of uses. Dual entry points make it simple to access equipment and materials at either end. This makes it simpler to transport palletised items using forklifts, and it simplifying the management of stock flow. Tunnel containers are commonly used as bridges for temporary use on construction sites and also as ticket entrances for events such as festivals.

They are also an excellent option for self-storage. By building a steel bulkhead, a 20ft container can be divided into two 10ft units. This can maximize the return on investment. Tunnel containers can be modified in many ways, such as adding lighting for the interior, and side windows, making them more suitable for companies.

Double doors at both ends of the container make it ideal for storing large or bulky items. This is particularly useful in warehouses, as it is difficult to get large machinery and vehicles into standard shipping containers. It will save a significant amount of time as you don't have to constantly move the container around which allows you to keep moving merchandise throughout the day.

Tunnel containers can be fitted with cooling and heating units which allow them to be used as temperature-controlled storage for goods such foods, chemicals and pharmaceuticals. They can be fitted with ventilation systems to stop condensation.

Like standard shipping containers tunnel containers are available in 20ft and 40ft sizes. They comply with ISO shipping standards and are CSC coated 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 truck frame or tracks. They are an excellent choice for law enforcement and military equipment since they can easily be transported between bases. This could also help to stop the unintentional identification of expensive equipment such as command-and-control centres or mobile operating theaters. They can be transported with different weapons including missile launchers. The Container City in Cholula, Mexico is an excellent example of how the old sea containers can be converted into restaurants, galleries and workshops - and even homes!

Storage

Double-end doors containers, also known as Tunnel Containers, allow access to the items stored on both sides of a container. This significantly increases ease of access for loading and 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 remove items. This is especially beneficial for those who need to store large, bulky or awkward objects such as machinery and heavy equipment.

The tunnel container's design allows these containers to be easily transformed into offices or storage spaces that are secure. Tunnel containers unlike open-sided shipping container tunnel containers are able to be opened from either end with the doors locked again. They are ideal for creating offices on site and even housing, if needed.

These containers can be used to store specialised items. For instance, military units may use containers to transport expensive equipment to temporary locations such as command and control centers or mobile operating theatres, eliminating the need for these expensive systems to be transported by roads.

Additionally, industrial equipment like turbines and generators can be transported similarly. This allows for rapid deployment of critical infrastructure to regions where it is required, reducing time and costs associated with the installation of fixed infrastructure.

For those who want to transport an item that is more risky, such as biological or chemical substances they can be equipped with special thermal insulation and regulated temperature control system. This allows them to keep the temperature at a low level and ensures that there is no spoilage during transit.

These units can be fitted with tarp covers that are removable that offer additional flexibility when loading and unloading. This allows for large or bulky items to be transported that otherwise would be too large to fit into standard shipping containers, such as timber, construction materials or large machinery. These containers can be outfitted with lockboxes of high security that prevent access from the top.

Stuffing & De Stuffing

When it concerns storage and shipping logistics professionals employ a variety of terms to describe how cargo is readied to be transported and moved through a supply chain. These terms refer to container stuffing and de-stuffing, which refer to the process through which goods are loaded into or removed from a shipping container. Understanding these concepts is crucial to the success of any business that utilizes shipping containers to store or distribute goods.

Stuffing a container tunnel involves strategically placing freight in order to maximize space and meet specific logistical needs. To prevent damage in transportation, loading and packing methods that are specifically designed for the cargo are required. It is important to put the largest cargo on the bottom, and stack lighter items on top. Also it is crucial to take the appropriate security measures to prevent the cargo from shifting during transport. Optimizing the container load helps reduce shipping, handling and labour costs and ensures compliance with regulations to ensure safe transportation.

When the container arrives at its destination the process of unloading or de-stuffing the container is a crucial step in maintaining supply chain efficiency. This process removes any excess freight from a shipping container, and involves careful inspection to identify any signs of water damage or other physical damage that could compromise the integrity of the cargo. De-stuffing is only possible if the logistics provider and the shipper are in constant communication and comply with all regulations.

Refurbished tunnel containers are an affordable alternative for businesses that require an unsecure and secure entry point to their premises. They can be converted to a turnstile or a manual entry checkpoint to prevent access to restricted areas in the facility. These containers are also used as bridges for temporary use and as ticket entrances at large events.

Tunnel containers aren't the most sought-after type of shipping container but they're becoming more popular for multimodal logistics. They're perfect for storage and shipping, since their double-ended doors allow access from either end. They are often used for self storage by businesses who need dual access to their inventory. Portable Space can weld in steel bulkhead partitions, converting a 20ft tunnel container into two storage compartments of 10 feet each, which is much cheaper than buying new storage containers.

Security

Tunneling is one way to establish a direct point-to-point connection across a network. It encapsulates packets using one routing protocol within other protocols so that routers on either side of a tunnel can connect directly to each other.

This allows different applications to use the same infrastructure. A company, for example, can create tunnels to connect its internal resources to the public internet. This can help them keep a uniform security policy for their employees and customers. By using tunnels, companies can also safeguard sensitive information from being intercepted by the public network.

Despite being made from steel, container cargo loads are still vulnerable to theft. The methods of thieves have improved and they are capable of breaking into a steel container by taking the hinges or doors off. Therefore, it is essential that businesses take steps to ensure that their containers are not taken.

One way to do this is to set up a lockbox on the doors. These are welded steel shrouds that fit around the lug which holds the padlock on the door of the container. they make it extremely difficult to access the padlock area with bolt cutters. Additionally, businesses can put in an alarm that is high-security and will alert them if someone attempts to cut the lockbox.

Another method of increasing the security of tunnel shipping containers containers is to set up a turnstile or manual secure entry checkpoint. This is particularly useful when there is a large number of people attending the event. It is a great way to keep guests out of the wind and rain while allowing security personnel to conduct checks as people enter the venue.

Shipping containers come in a variety of dimensions and sizes which means that businesses can find the one that best suits their needs. Some are designed to hold heavy items, such as vehicles and other machinery. Some containers have doors on both ends to facilitate loading and unloading. There are refrigerated containers that can be used to transport fresh food.
