Tunnel Containers
The main characteristic of tunnel containers, as the name implies is the double door design at both ends of the container. This significantly improves accessibility and makes them ideal for storage and handling of goods.
You can also convert them into self-storage units by incorporating a partition. We have also helped customers make use of them to house plant machinery and offer secure site access using turnstiles.
Dual Access
A tunnel container is a modified version of standard shipping containers that have double doors at both ends. Known as a 'double end door container' or a tunnel container, these containers let you access stored items from both ends.
Dual-end access lets cargo be loaded and unloaded at either end of the container. This is a great option for transporting heavier or larger objects that must be removed from and into the box. The double-end access also removes the necessity of unloading the entire container in order to access the items stored within, which saves time and reduces the risk of damage during transportation.
This innovative feature makes tunnel containers versatile and flexible. They can be used for a diverse range of storage and transportation needs, including being converted into living spaces or mobile offices. And because they're made from rugged and corrosion-resistant Corten steel they can withstand the harshest weather conditions.
If you want an extra secure solution, we can join steel bulkheads to one of the long sides, creating two storage compartments that measure 10ft. tunnel container uses -storage companies can make use of them to separate their customers' belongings into distinct areas, which increases security. Our double end door containers are also popular for use as ticket entry points at large events, since they're easily able to accommodate crowds of people while keeping them dry.
Our new 20ft double door tunnel containers come with fork pockets that can be used with industrial forklifts. This means that they can be easily stacked or lifted at the corners of each side. We've also installed PIR insulation and heaters to these containers, making them suitable for storage all year round.
We can manufacture tunnel containers in customized sizes to meet your exact specifications if you need an even more customized solution. We can make them in both double-sided and single-sided models, as well as different lengths. Custom-sized tunnel containers are more expensive than regular shipping containers, so we recommend selecting the most suitable size that meets your needs.
Temperature-Sensitive Goods
Most dangerous goods including explosives, flammable liquids, and organic peroxides require storage at temperatures that are optimal. Any fluctuations in temperature can alter their stability, and could cause a fire or release toxic fumes. When storing tunnel container uses -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.
Sometimes the fluctuations are difficult to detect, particularly during a hectic workday. This is the reason it's vital that container terminals have an instrument that provides real-time temperature monitoring across all reefer containers within their facility. This allows staff to react promptly to any anomalies, preventing any potential risks.
Tunnel containers are a practical option when it comes to transporting and storing temperature-sensitive goods. Double doors are found at both ends of the container, making it easier to load and unload during transportation as well as storage. They can also be used to store bulky items such as vehicles and machinery.
The modified containers are constructed from typical shipping containers of 20ft or 40ft. The solid end is removed, and the double door set is welded into place to create a two-way entry. They are popular for use at construction sites, where it is necessary to move through and under heavy machinery.
Certain container terminals convert their tunnel shipping containers into secure entrances to their sites, installing a turnstile as people 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 compared to constructing an entire facility from scratch. Tunnel containers are generally only available in a brand new "one-trip" model because their owners design them specifically for a particular use and then retain them. They are therefore highly sought-after by those who wish to grow their business or warehouse without the need to purchase new refrigeration equipment. 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 for storage for your cargo, a tunnel container is an ideal choice. These shipping containers feature double doors at both ends, as opposed to a standard dry storage container which 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 useful for a storage container that will be used to store goods that you require frequent access to like machinery or equipment. It means that you don't need to reverse your vehicle constantly in and out of the container, which can damage both your vehicle and the container.
You can also use a tunnel container to store things that you want to keep at a particular temperature. The refrigerator and thermal tunnel containers are perfect for this, as they have temperature control that keeps the contents at a specific temperature.
A tunnel container is an ideal solution for a garage or workshop. It allows you to access all areas of your workspace easily without having to move any furniture. The two doors at each end allow you to move into and out of the storage container quickly in the event of need.
One-trip tunnel containers can be constructed from new with two sets of double doors or adapted 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.
Containers for shipping are usually only available as new in a 'one-trip condition' because their owners have built them for a particular reason and don't want them to be sold. Some companies are still offering renovated tunnel containers. These containers that have been refurbished are tested to ensure that they are safe for transportation and can be sold along with an extended 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 general and bulk cargo as well as special objects like automobiles or motorbikes. These containers are often used to create temporary tunnels on construction sites due to their durability, safety and the ease of modification.
Shipping Containers with double doors are very convenient for storage purposes. The ability to access both sides of the container eliminates the necessity to completely empty the goods or even remove a section of the container to access the stuff stored in the back, which will save time and money. Furthermore, the doors on both ends can be locked to stop any unauthorized entry.
These containers are made of corten steel and are designed to withstand tough conditions. They are wind and watertight, and have ventilation to ensure that airflow is maintained. These features will safeguard your goods from moisture and decrease the risk of loss or spoilage.
You can select from a variety 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 enable loading large and heavy cargo easier. Side open containers have doors that are positioned on the sides of the container making 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.
These containers come in both new and refurbished models in sizes 20ft and fortyft with doors at both ends to facilitate loading. They can be tailored to meet your requirements, but will cost more than a standard double door container.
