Tunnel Containers
The key characteristic of tunnel containers as the name suggests is the dual doors at the two ends of the container. This significantly improves accessibility and makes them ideal for handling and storage of goods.
They are also popular for converting into self storage units as they can be divided by putting up walls to divide them. We have also assisted customers utilize them to store plant machinery and offer secure access to their site using turnstiles.
Dual Access
Tunnel containers are modified version of standard shipping containers that have double doors on both sides. They are also referred to as a "double end door container" or a "tunnel-shaped container". They provide access to the items stored at both ends.
The dual-end access allows for cargo to be loaded and unloaded from either side of the container, which is ideal if you're transporting bulkier or larger items which would otherwise have to be backed in and out of the container. Double-end access removes the need to empty the entire container to get the goods that are hidden inside, which saves time and reducing the chance of damage.
This innovative feature makes tunnel containers versatile and flexible. They can be used for a broad range of storage and transportation requirements, such as being transformed into living spaces or mobile offices. And because they're made from robust, corrosion-resistant Corten steel they are able to endure even the most extreme weather conditions.
If you are looking for security We can weld steel bulkheads onto one of the long sides, resulting in two separate storage compartments of 10ft. Self-storage companies can use bulkheads to separate customers' belongings into distinct areas, thereby increasing security. Double-end door containers are also popular for use as ticket entrances for large events, since they are able to easily handle crowds while keeping them dry.
Our 20ft double-door tunnel containers are fitted with fork pockets suitable for large industrial forklifts which means they can be easily stacked and lifted from the corners of both long sides. These containers are also outfitted with heaters and PIR insulation making them ideal for year-round storage.
If 40 ft tunnel containers looking for a more customized container solution we can also make custom-sized tunnel containers that exactly meet your requirements. We can produce them in double-sided and single-sided versions and in a variety of lengths. However the custom-sized tunnel containers will cost more than the standard shipping container, so we recommend selecting the one that is closest to your requirements.
Temperature-Sensitive Goods
The most dangerous products like explosives, flammable liquids, and organic peroxides require storage at the right temperature. Any temperature fluctuations could alter their stability, and cause explosion 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 detect, especially in a busy workday. This is why it's essential that container terminals have a system that can provide real-time temperature monitoring for all reefer containers inside their facility. This allows personnel to react quickly to any abnormalities and prevent any risks.
Tunnel containers are a practical option when it comes to transporting and storing temperature-sensitive goods. Double doors are situated 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 and machinery.
These containers are typically constructed from the standard 20 or 40 foot shipping container, the solid end is removed, and the double doors are welded in place, resulting in two-way access. They are often used on construction sites, where it is necessary to move through and under heavy machinery.
Some container terminals also convert their tunnel shipping containers to serve as a secure entry point to the site, installing a turnstile or manual security checkpoint as users go through. While these conversions aren't available in a standard size but they are 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 usually only available in a new "one-trip" model, as their owners create them specifically for a specific use and then retain them. They are therefore highly sought-after by those who want to expand their business or warehouse without the need to purchase brand new refrigeration facilities. 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 ideal option to store your cargo. These containers have double doors at both ends, in contrast to a the typical dry storage container that only has one door. This allows you to access your storage container from either side. This allows you to load and unload items.
This dual entry point is particularly useful for a storage container that will be used to store items that need frequent access to equipment or machinery equipment. This means that you won't need to reverse your vehicle constantly to and from the container, which could cause damage to your vehicle as well as the container.
You can also make use of a tunnel container to store goods that you need to keep at a particular temperature. The refrigerated and thermal 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 workshop or garage. It allows you to access all areas of your workspace easily without the need to move any furniture. Two doors at either end allow you to swiftly get into and out of your storage container, if required.
One-trip tunnel containers are offered as new constructions with two sets of double doors, or modified shipping containers. In the second instance, the solid end is removed from the container and a pair of double doors are welded to each end.
These shipping containers are typically only available in brand new one-trip condition, since their owners have designed them for a specific reason and won't want to sell them off. Some companies offer recycled tunnel containers. These refurbished containers are tested to ensure that they are safe for transportation and are sold with a warranty that is extended.
Easy Transportation
The double cargo doors on both sides of tunnel containers makes it easy to unload and load items from either end. These containers are ideal for transporting general and bulk cargo, as well as specific items such as automobiles or motorbikes. These containers are often used to build temporary tunnels on construction sites due to their durability, safety and the ease of modification.
Shipping containers with double doors make for fantastic storage. The ability to open both sides of a container will save you time and money, by removing the requirement to remove the entire container or section to reach the items stored at the back. The doors on both sides can also be locked to prevent unauthorized access.
These containers are very sturdy, and due to being made from corten steel, they're designed to withstand harsh weather conditions. They are wind and watertight, and feature ventilation to ensure airflow. These features can shield items from moisture, reducing the risk of loss and deterioration.
You can pick from a range of options for a container tunnel depending on your requirements. Open top containers, for instance they have bow-tops that can be removed to allow loading of large and heavy cargo simpler. Side-open containers have doors that are set on the side of the container which makes them ideal for storing smaller items. A refrigerated ISO container, or reefer, has a regulated temperature and can be used to store temperature-sensitive goods.
These containers come in both new and refurbished models in sizes 20ft and fortyft, with doors at both ends to make it easy loading. The containers can be customized to meet your requirements but will cost more than a standard double end door container.
