Tunnel Container Uses

Tunnel containers are also known as double door shipping containers. They have the same dimensions as standard ISO container but the distinction is that they open at both ends. This feature allows for easy access to the cargo, and is helpful for those who use the container as a storage or conversion project.

Transport

A 40 ft tunnel container container can be used for many different uses. The dual entry points permit easy access to equipment and materials from either end making it much easier for palletised items to be moved using forklifts, and makes the management of stock flow easier. Tunnel containers are often used as bridges for temporary use on construction sites, and also as ticket entry points for events like festivals.

They are also a great solution for self storage. By building a bulkhead made of steel, a 20ft tunnel containers container can be divided into two 10ft units. This maximizes 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 businesses.

The double doors at both ends of the container allow it to be used for storage of bulky or larger items. This is particularly useful in warehouses where it may be hard to fit large machinery or vehicles into standard shipping containers. It will save you a huge amount of time when you don't have to constantly move the container around, allowing you to keep moving goods throughout the day.

Tunnel containers can be fitted with heating and cooling units, allowing them to be used for temperature-controlled storage containers for items like pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and food items. They can also be equipped with ventilation systems to prevent condensation within the products.

Like standard shipping containers tunnel containers are also available in 20ft and 40ft sizes. They meet ISO shipping standards and CSC plating to be used for international freight. They can also be made weatherproof by adding insulation.

They can be transported on flat-bed chassis or flat-bed trucks, or mounted on a truck frame or tracks. They're also a great alternative for law enforcement equipment, as they can be easily transported between bases and can prevent unwanted identification of expensive equipment like command and control centers or mobile operating theatres. They can also be transported with a range of weaponry including missile launchers. Container City in Cholula is a wonderful example of how an old sea containers can be transformed into workshops, restaurants galleries, or even homes!

Storage

Double end doors containers, also referred to as Tunnel Containers, allow access to the storage items at both sides of a container. This makes it easy to load and unloading, as well as full use of the storage space. These units are ideal for self-storage facilities because they allow access to both sides without the need to take items off. This is especially useful for those who must store massive, bulky or awkward items such as machinery and heavy equipment.

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

These shipping containers can be used to store specialised items. Military units can make use of containers to transport expensive equipment to temporary locations like command and controls centres or mobile operating theatres, which eliminates the necessity to transport these systems by vehicle.

This method can also be used to ship specialised industrial equipment like turbines or generators. This allows for rapid deployment of critical infrastructure to areas where it is required in order to reduce the time and cost associated with installing fixed infrastructure.

These units are able to be fitted with an automatic temperature control system as well as a thermal insulation if you are shipping dangerous cargo, such as biological or chemical substances. This allows them to maintain a constant low temperature and avoid any loss during transport.

These units are able to be fitted with tarp covers that can be removed which offer greater flexibility when loading and unloading. This permits large or bulky items to be transported that otherwise would not fit in standard shipping containers, like construction materials, timber or large machines. These containers can be outfitted with lockboxes of high security that block entry from above.

Stuffing & De Stuffing

When it is about storage and shipping logistics professionals use a variety of terms to describe how cargo is prepared for transportation and then moved through a supply chain. These terms include container stuffing and de-stuffing. These terms refer to the process by which goods are placed into or removed from a shipping container. Understanding these concepts will help any business that relies on shipping containers for distribution or storage to succeed.

Stuffing a container tunnel involves carefully placing the cargo in order to maximize space and meet particular logistical requirements. To prevent damage in transportation, loading and packing techniques that are specific to the cargo should be employed. It is essential to place the heaviest cargo on the bottom and stack lighter items on top. Also it is crucial to take appropriate security measures to prevent cargo from shifting during transit. Optimizing the load in the container can help reduce shipping, handling and labor costs. It also ensures compliance with regulations to ensure safe transportation.

On arrival at the destination the container is unloaded or de-stuffing is an essential step in maintaining the efficiency of the supply chain. This involves removing excess cargo from a container. It also involves a careful inspection for any indications of physical or water damage that could compromise cargo integrity. Regulatory compliance and effective communication between the logistics service provider and the shipper are crucial to a successful de-stuffing operation.

Refurbished 20 ft tunnel containers containers are a cost-effective option for businesses who need an unsecure and secure entry point to their site. The containers can be modified to serve as a turnstile or manual secure entry checkpoint, which blocks access to restricted areas within the facility. These containers are used for temporary bridges and as ticket entry points for large events.

Although tunnel containers aren't the most common type of shipping container, they're becoming increasingly popular in multimodal logistics applications. The double doors are ideal for shipping and storage, as they can be accessed from both ends. They are often used to store items in self-storage by companies who need dual access to their inventory. Portable Space can weld in steel bulkhead partitions that convert a 20ft 20 ft tunnel container container into two storage compartments of 10 feet each and is a lot less than buying new storage containers.

Security

Tunneling is a method used to establish an instant connection between two points of the network. It encapsulates packets that use one routing protocol in conjunction with other protocols, so that routers at either end of a tunnel can connect directly to one another.

This permits different applications to use a common infrastructure. For instance, a company can create tunnels to connect its internal resources and the internet. This can help them ensure that they have uniform security policies for their employees and customers. With the use of tunnels, a company can also protect sensitive information from being stolen by the public network.

Despite being made of steel, containers are still vulnerable to theft. The methods of thieves have improved and they are capable of breaking into a steel container by removing the doors or hinges. For this reason, it is essential for businesses to put in place measures to protect their containers from being stolen.

Installing a lockbox on the door is one method to accomplish this. They are welded steel shrouds that fit over the lug on the container door that holds the padlock. They make it very difficult to reach the padlock's area with bolt cutters. Additionally, businesses can install a high-security alarm that will alert them if someone tries to cut into the lockbox.

Another method of increasing the security of tunnel containers is to put in an automated or manual entry checkpoint. This is particularly helpful for events where people are arriving in large numbers. This is a great way to shield guests from the wind and rain, while allowing security to conduct inspections at the location.

Shipping containers come in different dimensions and sizes, so businesses can find the one that best suits their requirements. For instance, some are designed to accommodate bulky objects like vehicles and machinery. Others have doors on both sides, which makes them easier to load and unload. And, there are even refrigerated containers that can be used to transport fresh food items.
