Tunnel Containers
The most important feature of tunnel containers, as the name implies is the double door design at both ends of the container. This significantly enhances access and makes them ideal for storage and handling of products.
You can also turn them into self-storage units with the addition of the partition. We have also helped clients use them to house equipment for their plants and to provide secure site access 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 referred to as a "double door end container" or a "tunnel-shaped container". They provide access to the stored items on both ends.
Dual-end access allows cargo to be unloaded or loaded from either side of the container. This is perfect for transporting larger or heavier objects that must be backed into and out of the box. Double-end access eliminates the need to empty the entire container to reach goods buried deep inside, which saves time and reducing the risk of damage.
This clever feature makes these tunnel containers adaptable and flexible. They can be used for a broad variety of storage and transportation requirements, such as being transformed into living spaces or mobile offices. Because they're constructed of rugged, corrosion-resistant Corten steel These containers are able to endure even the most extreme weather conditions.
If you're seeking a more secure option, we can weld in steel bulkheads on one of the long sides of the container, resulting in two separate storage compartments measuring 10 feet. Self-storage companies can make use of them to divide their customers' belongings into distinct areas, thereby increasing security. Double-end door containers are also popular as ticket entrances for large events, since they can easily handle crowds while keeping them dry.
Our new 20ft double-door tunnels come 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 PIR insulation and heaters which makes them ideal for storage during the entire year.
If you're looking for a more customized container solution, we can also manufacture custom-sized tunnel containers that meet your exact specifications. We can produce containers in single- and double-sided variants and also in various lengths. Custom-sized tunnel containers are more expensive than standard shipping containers, so we suggest choosing the smallest size that meets your needs.
Temperature-Sensitive Goods
Most dangerous goods like explosives, flammable liquids, and organic peroxides, require storage at temperatures that are optimal. Temperature fluctuations can cause many 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.
Sometimes these fluctuations can be difficult to detect, particularly during a hectic workday. This is why it's essential that container terminals have a system that can provide real-time temperature monitoring of all reefer containers within 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 located at both ends of the container, making it easier to load and unload during transportation and storage. They can be used to store large items like 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 welded in place, creating two-way access. They are a popular choice at construction sites, where it is required to pass over and under heavy machinery.
Some terminals transform their tunnel shipping containers to serve as a secure site entrance, installing a turnstile or manually-operated security checkpoints as visitors traverse through. Although these conversions aren't readily available in standard sizes but they are easily made to meet the specific needs of the customer and are extremely cost-effective when compared to building an entire facility from scratch. Tunnel containers are generally 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 desired product for those who want to increase their business or storage capacity for warehouses without having to invest in a brand 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
If you're looking for storage for your cargo, tunnel containers are an ideal choice. These containers come with double doors on both ends of the container, in contrast to standard dry storage containers which have a door on one end. This means that you can enter the storage container from both sides and have easier access and faster loading and unloading of goods.
This dual entry point is particularly beneficial when storing goods that require frequent access, such as machinery and equipment. This means that you don't have to shift your vehicle in and out of the storage container constantly, which could damage both the container and your vehicle.
You can also utilize a tunnel container for store goods that you need to keep at a specific temperature. The thermal and refrigerated tunnel containers are perfect for this because they come with temperature controls to ensure that the contents inside are kept at a certain temperature.
In addition to offering easy access to the inside of a tunnel container, it is an ideal solution for a workshop or garage, as it allows you to easily access every area of your workspace without having to move things around. Two doors at either end allow you to swiftly get into and out of your storage container when needed.
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 scenario the solid end is removed from the container, and a pair of double doors are attached to each end.
These containers are usually only available in brand new"one-trip" condition, because their owners will have created them for a specific reason and will not want to sell them on. Some companies offer recycled tunnel containers. These containers that have been refurbished are tested to ensure that they are safe for transport and are available with a warranty that is extended.
Easy Transportation
Double cargo doors at both ends 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 items such as automobiles or motorbikes. These containers are also used as tunnels for temporary use at construction sites due their security, durability and flexibility to modify.
Shipping Containers with double doors are very convenient for storage purposes. Having access to both sides of the container means that there is no necessity to completely empty the goods or remove a section of the container to reach the items stored in the back, which can save time and money. The doors at both ends can be locked to protect unauthorised access.
These containers are very sturdy, and due to being constructed of corten steel they're designed to endure harsh weather conditions. They're water- and wind-proof and come with ventilation to ensure adequate airflow. These features can protect your goods from moisture and reduce the risk of loss and spoilage.
You can select from a variety of options for a container tunnel based on your requirements. 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 on the side which makes them ideal for the storage of small items. 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 sizes of 40 and 20 feet and have doors at both ends to make it easy loading. They can also be sized to meet your individual requirements, but it will cost more than the standard double-end door container.
