Tunnel Containers
As the name implies, the key feature of tunnel containers is the dual-door design on each side of the container. This significantly improves accessibility and makes them ideal for storage and handling of items.
They can also be converted into self-storage units with the addition of a partition. We have also helped clients use them to house plant machinery and offer secure access to their site using turnstiles.
Dual Access
Tunnel containers are an alternative to the standard shipping container that has double doors at both ends. These containers are also known as a "double door end container" or a "tunnel-shaped container". They provide access to the stored items on both ends.
The dual-end access permits cargo to be loaded and unloaded from either side of the container, which is ideal when you're moving bulkier or larger items that otherwise would need to be backed in and out of the container. Double-end access eliminates the requirement to empty the entire container to access the items that are buried inside, which saves time and reducing the chance of damage.
This clever feature makes these tunnel containers flexible and adaptable. They can be used for a wide variety of storage and transportation needs, including being converted into living spaces or mobile offices. They're also made of rugged and corrosion-resistant Corten steel These containers are able to endure even the most extreme weather conditions.
If you're looking for a more secure alternative, we can join in steel bulkheads on one of the long sides of the container, resulting in two separate storage compartments measuring 10 feet. Self-storage businesses can use them to divide their customers' belongings in different areas, increasing security. Our double-end door containers are a favorite for large events as ticket entrances because they can hold large crowds and keep them dry.
Our new 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 sides. We've also installed PIR insulation and heaters to these units which makes them suitable for storage throughout the year.
If you're after a more customized container solution We can also create custom-sized tunnel containers to exactly meet your requirements. We can make them in single- or double-sided versions, and different lengths. Custom-sized tunnel containers are more expensive than standard shipping containers, so we suggest choosing the smallest size that is suitable for your needs.
Temperature-Sensitive Goods
The storage of the most dangerous items such as explosives or flammable liquids should be stored at temperatures that are optimal. Temperature fluctuations can trigger a variety of problems, including a explosion and 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 these fluctuations can be difficult to identify, especially during a hectic workday. This is why it's essential that container terminals utilize a system that can provide real-time temperature monitoring of all reefer containers in their facility. This allows staff to respond quickly in the event of any abnormalities and prevent any potential 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 also be used to store bulky items, such as vehicles and machinery.
These containers are modified from regular shipping containers that measure 20ft or 40ft. The solid end is removed, and a set of double doors is welded into place to create two-way access. They are often used on construction sites where it is necessary to pass through and under heavy machinery.
Some terminals transform their tunnel shipping container s to be used as a secure entry point to the site with a turnstile, or a manually-operated security checkpoints as visitors go through. These conversions, not available in standard sizes, can be modified to meet the specific needs. They are also more cost-effective than building a complete facility. Tunnel containers are typically only available in a "one-trip" condition because their owners design them specifically for a specific purpose and then hold onto them. This makes them a highly sought-after product for those who want to increase their business' or storage capacity in warehouses without the need to purchase an entirely 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
Tunnel containers are an ideal option to store your cargo. These containers have double doors at both ends, unlike traditional dry storage containers that only has one door. This allows you to access your storage container on either side. This allows you to load and unload goods.
This dual entry point can be particularly useful when storing goods that require regular access, like machinery and equipment. This means that you won't need to reverse your vehicle constantly into and out of the container, which could cause damage to your vehicle as well as the container.
You can also use a tunnel container to store items that you need to keep at a particular temperature. The refrigerated and thermal tunnel containers are great for this because they come with temperature controls that ensure the contents inside are kept at a particular temperature.
A tunnel container is a great solution for a garage or workshop. It lets you reach all parts of your workspace easily without the need to move any furniture. Dual doors at each end allow you to quickly access and exit your storage container, if required.
One trip tunnel containers can be constructed from scratch with two sets of double doors or modified from a standard shipping container. In the second case, the solid end is removed from the container, and a pair of double doors are attached to each end.
Shipping containers such as these are typically only available in new , in a condition that is only one-trip, because their owners have built them for a particular purpose and don't want them to be sold. However, you are able to buy refurbished tunnel containers from some companies that provide this particular type of container. These refurbished containers have been inspected to ensure they're safe for transportation and can be sold with an extended warranty to provide additional peace of mind.
Easy Transportation
Double cargo doors on both sides of the tunnel container make it simple to load and unload items from either end. They are perfect for transporting general and bulk cargo, as well as specific objects like automobiles or motorbikes. These containers are often used to build temporary tunnels on construction sites because of their durability, safety, and flexibility in modifying.
Shipping containers with double doors are excellent storage. Being able to access both sides of the container means that there is no necessity to completely empty the goods or remove a section of the container in order to access the contents stored in the back, which will save time and money. Furthermore, the doors on both ends can be locked to prevent unauthorised entry.
These containers are made from corten steel and are designed to withstand harsh conditions. These containers are wind and watertight, and they have ventilation to ensure that airflow is maintained. These features can protect the goods from moisture, thus reducing the risk of spoilage and loss.
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 on the sides which makes them ideal for storage of small goods. A refrigerated ISO container, or reefer, has a regulated temperature and can be used to store temperature-sensitive goods.
They are available in new and refurbished options in sizes of 20 and 40 feet, with doors on both sides to facilitate easy loading. They can be tailored to meet your requirements, but will cost more than a standard double end door container.
