Tunnel Containers

As the name suggests the most important feature of a tunnel containers is the dual door design at each end of the container. This greatly improves access, making them ideal for storage and handling.

You can also convert them into self-storage units with the addition of the partition. We have also helped clients utilize them to store equipment for their plants and to provide secure access to the site with turnstiles.

Dual Access

Tunnel containers are an alternative to a standard shipping container with double doors at both ends. These containers are also referred to as a "double end door container" or a "Tunnel shipping container-shaped container". They permit access to the storage items at both ends.

The dual-end access allows for cargo to be loaded and unloaded from both sides of the container, which is ideal when you're moving larger or bulkier goods that would otherwise need to be backed into and out of the container. Double-end access removes the need to empty the entire container to access the items that are buried inside, which saves time and reducing the chance of damage.

This nifty feature is what makes tunnel containers so flexible and adaptable. They can be used for a diverse variety of storage and transportation requirements, such as being transformed into living spaces or mobile offices. These containers are constructed of rugged, corrosion resistant Corten steel and can stand up to the most severe weather conditions.

If you're seeking a more secure alternative, we can join steel bulkheads to one of the long sides of the container, resulting in two separate 10ft storage compartments. Self-storage businesses can use them to divide their customers' belongings into distinct areas, increasing security. Double-end door containers are a favorite for large events as ticket entry points because they can hold long lines of people and keep them dry.

Our 20ft double-door tunnel containers come with fork pockets that are suitable for industrial forklifts that are large, which means they can be easily stacked or lifted from the corners of both sides. These units are also equipped with PIR insulation and heaters, making them ideal for year-round storage.

We can make tunnel containers in customized dimensions to meet your specific specifications if you require a more bespoke solution. We can make tunnel containers with single or double-sided models, as well as different lengths. Custom-sized tunnel containers are more expensive than conventional shipping containers, therefore we suggest choosing the smallest size that meets your needs.

Temperature-Sensitive Goods

The storage of the most hazardous goods such as explosives or flammable liquids should be stored at temperatures that are optimal. Temperature fluctuations can alter their stability, and could cause a combustion or release of 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.

These fluctuations can often be difficult to identify, particularly during a hectic workday. Container terminals need a system to keep track of the temperature of all reefer containers in their facility. This allows staff to react quickly to any abnormalities and avoid any risk.

Tunnel containers are a practical option when it comes to transporting and storing temperature-sensitive goods. Double doors are located at both ends of the container which makes it easier to load and unload during transportation and storage. They can be used to store large items like vehicles or machinery.

These modified containers are usually constructed from the standard 20 ft tunnel container or 40 foot shipping container. The solid end is removed and a new set of double doors is welded into place, resulting in two-way access. These modified containers are commonly employed on construction sites where heavy machinery must be able to pass over and under.

Some container terminals even convert their tunnel shipping containers to serve as a secure entry point to the site, installing a turnstile or manual security checkpoint as users traverse through. These conversions, not available in standard sizes, can be customized to meet specific requirements. They are also less expensive than building a whole facility. Tunnel containers are typically only available as a 'new one-trip' type. This is because their owners build them for a specific purpose and then keep them. This makes them a highly sought after product for those looking to increase their business' or warehouse storage capacity without having to invest in a brand new refrigerated facility. 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

If you're looking to store space for your cargo, a tunnel container is a convenient option. These containers have double doors at both ends, as opposed to a the typical dry storage container that only has one door. This lets you access your storage container from either side. This makes it easier to load and unload items.

This dual entry point is especially beneficial for storage containers that will be used to store goods that you need frequent access to like machinery or equipment. This means you won't need to turn your vehicle around and out of the storage container continuously and risk damaging both the container and your vehicle.

You can also use a tunnel container to store items that you need to keep at a certain temperature. The refrigerator and thermal tunnel containers are great for this since they feature temperature control that will keep the goods inside at a specific temperature.

A tunnel container is an ideal solution for a garage or workshop. It lets you access all areas of your work space without the need to move any furniture. The double doors at each end also let you get in and out of your storage container in a matter of minutes in the event of need.

One trip tunnel containers can be built from scratch using two sets of double doors, or adapted from a conventional shipping container. In the second instance the solid end is removed from the container. A pair of double doors are welded to each end.

These shipping containers are typically only available in brand new, 'one-trip' condition, as their owners have designed them for a specific purpose and will not want to sell them off. However, you are able to purchase refurbished tunnel containers from some companies that offer this specialised container type. These containers that have been refurbished are tested to ensure that they are safe for transport and can be sold along with a longer warranty.

Easy Transportation

The double cargo doors at both sides of a tunnel container makes it easy to unload and load items from either end. These containers are ideal for transporting bulk and general cargo as well as special objects like automobiles or motorbikes. These containers are often used to create temporary tunnels on construction sites because of their durability, safety, and ease in modification.

Shipping containers with double doors are also very convenient for storage purposes. Having access to both sides of the container eliminates the need to completely unload goods or remove a section of the container to reach the stuff stored in the back, which will save time and money. The doors on both sides can also be locked to prevent unauthorized access.

These containers are constructed of corten steel and are designed to withstand harsh conditions. These containers are water and wind-proof, and feature ventilation to ensure that airflow is maintained. These features can protect items from moisture, reducing the risk of loss and spoilage.

Based on your needs depending on your needs, you can select from several options for tunnel containers. For instance, open top containers have a removable bow-top that allows for easier loading of heavy and large cargo. Side-open containers have doors that are placed on the side of the container making them ideal for storage of smaller items. A refrigerated ISO container, or reefer, has a regulated temperature and can be used to store temperature-sensitive goods.
