Tunnel Containers

The key feature of tunnel containers, as the name suggests is the double doors at the two ends of the container. This significantly enhances access and makes them ideal for handling and storage of items.

They are also popular for conversion into self storage units because you can divide them by putting up walls to divide them. We have helped clients use them for plant machinery storage and secure access to the site with turnstiles.

Dual Access

A tunnel container is a modified version of standard shipping containers with double doors on both sides. Also known as a double end door container' or a tunnel container, these containers let you access stored items from both ends.

The dual-end access allows for cargo to be loaded and unloaded from both sides of the container, which is ideal for transporting bulkier or larger items that would otherwise need to be backed into and out of the container. Double-end access also eliminates the need to unload the entire container in order to access the goods that are stored inside, which reduces time and minimizes the risk of causing damage during transport.

This clever feature makes these tunnel containers adaptable and flexible. They can be used for a diverse range of storage and transportation needs, including being converted into living spaces or mobile offices. These containers are made of durable, corrosion resistant Corten steel that can endure the toughest weather conditions.

If you're looking for a safer option, we can weld in steel bulkheads on one of the long sides of the container, resulting in two separate 10ft storage compartments. Self-storage companies can use them to divide their customers' belongings into distinct areas, thereby increasing security. Double-end door containers are very popular for large events as ticket entry points because they can hold large crowds and keep them dry.

Our new 20ft double-door tunnel containers are fitted with fork pockets designed for industrial forklifts that are large, which means they can be easily stackable or lifted from the corners of both sides. They are also fitted with PIR insulation and heaters, making them ideal for storage throughout the year.

If you're looking for a more bespoke container solution We can also create tunnel shipping container containers that are custom-sized to match your specific requirements. We can make containers in single- or double-sided designs, and different lengths. Custom-sized tunnel containers are more expensive than conventional shipping containers, therefore we recommend selecting the most suitable size that will meet your needs.

Temperature-Sensitive Goods

The storage of most dangerous items such as explosives or flammable liquids should be handled at the right temperature. Any temperature fluctuations could alter their stability, and could cause a fire or release toxic fumes. When storing temperature-sensitive hazardous goods, it's essential that container terminal facilities are equipped with the appropriate monitoring equipment to track and identify any anomalies or deviations from set temperatures.

In many cases the fluctuations are difficult to identify, especially in the middle of a busy day. Container terminals should have a system to keep track of the temperature of all reefer containers in their facility. This enables personnel to respond promptly to any anomalies and avoid any risk.

Tunnel containers are a practical option when it comes to transporting and storing temperature-sensitive goods. They are designed with double doors at both ends, which improves accessibility and speeds loading and unloading processes during transportation and warehousing. They can be used to store large objects such as machinery or vehicles.

These containers are modified from standard shipping containers of 20ft tunnel container or 40ft. The solid end is removed, and double doors is welded into place to create two-way access. They are a popular choice at construction sites, where it is necessary to pass through and under heavy machinery.

Certain container terminals convert their tunnel shipping container tunnel containers into secure entrances to their sites by installing a turnstile when people pass through. Although these conversions aren't readily available in standard sizes, they can be easily made to meet the specific needs of the customer and are highly cost effective when compared to building an entire facility from scratch. Tunnel containers are generally only available in a "one-trip" model because their owners design them specifically for a particular purpose and then hold onto them. They are therefore highly sought-after by those who wish to expand their warehouse or business without the need to purchase new refrigeration equipment. They are also a very economical solution for those who want to store temperature-sensitive goods over long periods of time, or for transporting large volumes of cargo over long distances.

Convenient Storage

A tunnel container is an excellent option for storing your cargo. These containers have double doors at both ends, as opposed to a traditional dry storage containers that only has a single door. This means that you are able to enter the storage container from either side and have easier access and faster loading and unloading of goods.

This dual entry point can be especially useful when storing items that require frequent access, such as machinery and equipment. This means you don't have to reverse your vehicle into and out of the storage container on a regular basis, which could damage both the container as well as your vehicle.

You can also utilize a tunnel container for store items that you need to keep at a specific temperature. The thermal and refrigerated tunnel containers are great for this since they have temperature controls that ensure the items stored in them are kept at a certain temperature.

A tunnel container is a great solution for a garage or workshop. It allows you to access all areas of your workspace without the need to move any furniture. The two doors at the ends allow you to get in and out of your storage container in a matter of minutes if necessary.

One-trip tunnel containers are available as new constructions that come with two sets of double doors or modified shipping containers. In the second scenario, the solid end is removed from the container, and a pair of double doors is welded to each end.

The shipping containers are generally only available in brand new"one-trip" condition, since their owners have designed them for a specific purpose and will not want to sell them off. However, you can purchase refurbished tunnel containers from companies that offer this specialised container type. The refurbished containers have been inspected to ensure that they are safe for transportation and come with an extended warranty for additional security.

Easy Transportation

The double cargo doors at both sides of a tunnel container makes it easy to unload and load items from either end. This makes these containers ideal for the transportation of all kinds of bulk and general cargo, including special goods such as motorbikes or cars. These containers are frequently used to construct temporary tunnels on construction sites because of their durability, security, and flexibility in modifying.

Shipping Containers with double doors are also extremely useful for storage. The ability to access both sides of a container can save you time and money, by removing the need to remove the entire container or a section to access the items stored at the back. The doors on both sides can also be locked to prevent unauthorised access.

They're extremely sturdy, and due to being constructed from corten steel, they're designed to endure harsh weather conditions. They are water and wind-proof, and feature ventilation to allow airflow. These features can protect items from moisture, decreasing the risk of loss and deterioration.

You can pick from a range of options for a container tunnel depending on your needs. Open top containers, for instance are equipped with bow-tops that can be removed to allow loading of large and heavy cargo easier. Side-open containers have doors that are set on the sides of the container, making them ideal for the storage of smaller goods. A refrigerated ISO container, or reefer, has a regulated temperature and can be used to store temperature-sensitive goods.

The containers are available in new and refurbished models in sizes of 20 and 40 feet, with doors on both sides to allow for easy loading. They can be tailored to meet your specific needs, but will cost more than a standard double-end door container.
