Tunnel Containers
As the name suggests the most important feature of a tunnel containers is the dual-door design on each side of the container. This significantly improves accessibility and makes tunnel containers ideal for storage and goods handling.
They are also popular for converting into self-storage units since you can divide them by constructing a partition wall. We have helped clients make use of them to store plant machinery and for secure access to sites using turnstiles.
Dual Access
Tunnel containers are modified version of the standard shipping containers that have double doors at both ends. They are also referred to as a "double door end container" or a "tunnel-shaped container". They provide access to the stored items at both ends.
The dual-end access allows for cargo to be loaded and unloaded from either side of the container. This is ideal if you're transporting bulkier or larger items that otherwise would need to be backed in 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 versatile. They can be used for a diverse variety of storage and transportation needs, including being converted into living spaces or mobile offices. They are made of rugged, corrosion resistant Corten steel that can stand up to the most severe weather conditions.
If you're looking for a more secure option, we can put steel bulkheads to one of the long sides of the container, resulting in two separate storage compartments of 10 feet. This makes them ideal for self-storage businesses that want to increase security by separating their customers' items into separate areas. Double-end door containers are a favorite for large events as ticket entrances, as they can accommodate large crowds and keep them dry.
Our new 20ft double door tunnel containers have fork pockets that can be used with industrial forklifts. This means that they are able to be stackable or lifted from the corners of each long side. These units are also equipped with PIR insulation and heaters, making them ideal for storage during the entire year.
We can build tunnel containers with customized sizes to meet your precise specifications if you need a more bespoke solution. We can produce them in both single- and double-sided variants and also in various lengths. However, a custom-sized tunnel container will cost more than a standard shipping container, so we suggest getting the closest size to your needs.
Temperature-Sensitive Goods
The storage of the most hazardous items such as explosives or flammable liquids should be done at optimal temperatures. Any fluctuations in temperature can alter their stability and could cause a 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.
In many cases the fluctuations are difficult to detect, particularly during the midst of a busy workday. Container terminals must use a system to keep track of the temperature of all reefer containers within their facility. This enables personnel to respond 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 situated at both ends of the container making it easier to load and unload during transportation and storage. They can also be used to store bulky objects like machinery and vehicles.
These modified containers are made from typical shipping containers of 20ft or fortyft. The solid end is removed and a set of double doors is put in place to create a two-way entry. These modified containers are commonly employed on construction locations where heavy machinery needs to be moved over and under.
Some container terminals transform their tunnel shipping containers into secure entrances to their sites with a turnstile installed as users pass through. Although these conversions aren't offered in a standard size but they are easily custom-made to suit specific requirements and are cost-effective when compared to building an entire facility from scratch. Tunnel containers are typically only available as a 'new one trip' condition. This is due to the fact that their owners construct them for a specific use and then hold on to them. They are sought-after by those who wish to grow their business or warehouse without having 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 means that you can access your storage container from both sides 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. It means that you don't have to continuously reverse vehicles in and out of the container, which can cause damage to your vehicle as well as the container.
You can also keep your items in a tunnel container if you require the temperature of a certain level. The refrigerator and thermal tunnel containers are great for this since they are temperature controlled and keeps the items inside at a certain temperature.
A tunnel container is a great solution for a garage or workshop. It lets you access all areas of your workspace without having to move any furniture. The dual doors at each end also mean that you can move into and out of your storage container quickly, if necessary.
One-trip tunnel containers can be built from new with two sets of double doors or adapted from a standard shipping container. In the latter scenario the solid end of the container is removed, and a set of double doors welded in place at each end of the container.
These containers are usually only available in brand new"one-trip" condition, as their owners have designed them for a specific purpose and will not wish to sell them on. However, you can still buy refurbished tunnel containers from a few companies who provide this particular type of container. The refurbished containers are tested to ensure that they are safe for transportation and can be sold along with a longer warranty.
Easy Transportation
Double cargo doors at both ends of the tunnel container make it simple to load and unload items from either end. They are perfect for transporting bulk and general cargo, as well as specific objects like automobiles or motorbikes. They are also frequently used as tunnels for temporary use at construction sites due to their durability, safety and flexibility to modify.
Shipping containers with double doors make for excellent storage. Being able to access both sides of the container means that there is no necessity to completely empty the goods or even 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 sides can be locked to stop unauthorised entry.
These containers are constructed of corten steel and are designed to withstand tough conditions. They're water and wind-proof and are equipped with ventilation to ensure that there is enough airflow. These features can protect your items from moisture and decrease the risk of loss or loss or.
You can choose a variety of options for a container tunnel based on your requirements. For instance open top containers come with a bow-top that is removable, which allows for a simpler loading of large and heavy cargo. Side open containers have doors that are placed on the side of the container which makes 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 options in 20ft and 40ft sizes with doors on both sides to facilitate easy loading. These containers can be customized to meet your requirements but will cost more than a standard double-end door container.
