tunnel shipping containers Containers - How to Load a Shipping Container

Tunnel containers are shipping containers that have double doors on both sides rather than one end. They can be bought as new 'one-trip' containers or as a converted second-hand storage containers.

They are perfect to store equipment and goods because the dual access points mean that items can be easily picked up from either side without having to move them around. Tunnel containers can also be divided down the middle to create two storage units that are secure in the event of need.

Easy Loading and Unloading

When it comes to loading shipping containers, a well-organised method can make all the difference. It will protect items, minimize damage and increase the space. Containers can be filled in various ways based on the items being transported or stored. For instance, you could stack boxes vertically to maximize their height, however it's important to secure them in place with load securing materials such as tie-down straps or bracing plywood. Filling empty spaces within containers with inflatable airbags or dunnage could be beneficial, depending on the type.

Whether you're loading your cargo for a cross-country move or an international shipment, proper organisation will help ensure that your items arrive in a timely manner and on time.

After you've emptyed your container, it's good idea to give your vehicle a once-over before driving off. Check for signs of wear, such as corrosion on the chassis and damage to the handles and doors. Make sure that the doors are able to open and close easily and are securely secured. You should also examine the interior for water damage or moisture that could affect your cargo.
