Tunnel Containers
The key characteristic of tunnel containers as the name suggests is the double door design at both ends of the container. 20ft tunnel container improves accessibility and makes them ideal for storage and handling.
You can also turn them into self-storage units by incorporating an enclosure. We have also helped clients make use of them to house equipment for their plants and to provide secure access to their site using turnstiles.
Dual Access
A tunnel container is an alternative to the typical shipping container, with double doors at both ends. These containers are also known as a "double end door container" or a "tunnel-shaped container". They provide access to the stored items at both ends.
Dual-end access lets cargo be loaded or unloaded at either end of the container. This is perfect for transporting larger or heavier items that need to be moved into and out of the box. The double-end access also makes it unnecessary to unload the entire container to get to goods stored deep within, which saves time and decreases the chance of causing damage during transportation.
This nifty feature is what makes tunnel containers so flexible and adaptable. They can be used for a wide range of storage and transportation requirements, including being transformed into living spaces or mobile offices. Because they're constructed of tough and corrosion-resistant Corten steel, these containers are able to endure even the harshest weather conditions.
If you want security, we can join steel bulkheads to one of the long sides, creating two separate storage compartments of 10ft. Self-storage companies can use them to divide their customers' belongings into distinct areas, thereby increasing security. Double-end door containers are a favorite for large events as ticket entry points, as they can accommodate long lines of people and keep them dry.
Our 20ft double-door tunnel containers come with fork pockets that are suitable for industrial forklifts that are large, which means they can be easily stackable or lifted from the corners of both long sides. They are also fitted with PIR insulation and heaters making them ideal for year-round storage.
If you're after a more customized container solution we can also make tunnel containers that are custom-sized to match your specific requirements. We can create containers in single- or double-sided versions, and different lengths. Custom-sized tunnel containers are more expensive than standard shipping containers, so we recommend choosing the closest size that is suitable for your needs.
Temperature-Sensitive Goods
The most dangerous products, such as explosives, flammable liquids and organic peroxides, must be stored at optimal temperatures. Temperature fluctuations can cause various issues, including flame 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.
These fluctuations are often difficult to detect, especially during the busy hours of a day. Container terminals must use a system to keep track of the temperature of all reefer containers in their facility. This allows personnel the ability to react quickly in case of any anomalies and to avoid any potential risks.
Tunnel containers are a practical option when it comes to transporting and storing temperature-sensitive goods. They feature double doors at both ends, which significantly enhances accessibility and expedites loading and unloading procedures during transportation and warehousing. They can also be used to store bulky items such as vehicles and machinery.
The modified containers are typically made from a standard 20ft or 40ft shipping container, the solid end is removed, and new double doors are welded in place, resulting in two-way access. These modified containers are typically used on construction locations where heavy machinery needs to be moved over and under.
Some container terminals convert their tunnel shipping container s into secure site entrances, installing a turnstile as the users enter. Although these conversions aren't readily available in standard sizes however, they can be made to meet the specific needs of the customer and are cost-effective when compared to building an entire facility from scratch. Tunnel containers are typically only available in a 'one trip' condition, as their owners create them specifically for a particular purpose and then keep them. They are highly sought-after by those who want to expand their warehouse or business without having to invest in 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
Tunnel containers are an excellent option for storing your cargo. They have double doors at both ends, as opposed to a standard dry storage container which only has one door. This means that you are able to enter the storage container from either side and have easier access and faster loading and unloading of items.
This dual entry point is especially beneficial for storage containers that is used to store items that require access to frequently, such as machinery or equipment. This means that you won't need to reverse your vehicle constantly in and out of the container, which can cause damage to your vehicle as well as the container.
You can also use a tunnel container to store goods that you need to keep at a particular temperature. The thermal and refrigerator tunnel containers are ideal for this as they feature temperature control that keeps the contents at a certain temperature.
In addition to allowing easy access, a tunnel container is an ideal solution for a garage or workshop as it permits you to easily reach all areas of your workspace without the need to move objects around. The double doors at each end also let you access and exit the storage container quickly should you need to.
One trip tunnel containers can be built from scratch with two sets of double doors, or adapted from a conventional shipping container. In the latter case the solid end of the container is removed and two doors are welded in place at each end of the container.
The shipping containers are generally only available in brand new one-trip condition, since their owners have designed them for a particular purpose and will not wish to sell them off. However, you can still buy refurbished tunnel containers from companies that provide this particular type of container. These recycled containers have been checked to ensure that they are safe for transport and are sold with an extended warranty for additional security.
Easy Transportation
Double cargo doors on both sides of the tunnel container make it easy to unload and load goods from either end. They are perfect for transporting general and bulk cargo as well as special goods like motorbikes or automobiles. These containers are commonly used to create temporary tunnels on construction sites due to their durability, security, and ease in modification.
Shipping Containers with double doors are extremely useful for storage. The ability to access both sides of a container will save you time and money, by removing the necessity of removing the entire container or section to reach the items stored at the back. Furthermore, the doors on both sides can be locked to stop any unauthorized entry.
These containers are made from corten steel and are designed to withstand tough conditions. They're water- and wind-proof and have ventilation to ensure that there is enough airflow. These features protect items from moisture, reducing the risk of spoilage and loss.
Depending on your needs You can pick from a variety of options for tunnel containers. For example 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 on the side, which makes them ideal for storage of small items. A refrigerated ISO container, or reefer, has a regulated temperature and can be used to store temperature-sensitive goods.
These containers are available in new and refurbished options in sizes of 20 and 40 feet and have doors on both sides to allow for easy loading. These containers can be customized to meet your needs however, they will cost more than a standard double end door container.
