Tunnel Containers
The main characteristic of tunnel containers, as the name implies is the dual door design at both ends of the container. This significantly enhances access and makes them ideal for handling and storage of items.
You can also convert them into self-storage units by incorporating an enclosure. We have also helped clients make use of them to house plant machinery and offer secure access to the site with turnstiles.
Dual Access
Tunnel containers are an alternative to the typical shipping container, with double doors at both ends. Also known as a double end door container' or a 'tunnel container' these containers let you access stored items from both ends.
The dual-end access allows cargo to be loaded and unloaded from either side of the container, which is ideal when you're moving bulkier or larger items which would otherwise have to be backed in and out of the container. The double-end access also makes it unnecessary to unload the entire container to access the items stored inside, which reduces time and decreases the chance of causing damage during transportation.
This unique feature makes tunnel containers adaptable and flexible. They can be used for a broad range of storage and transport needs, including being converted into living spaces or mobile offices. Because they're constructed of rugged, corrosion-resistant Corten steel These containers can withstand the most extreme weather conditions.
If you want a more secure solution we can weld steel bulkheads onto one of the long sides, resulting in two storage compartments that measure 10ft. Self-storage companies can use bulkheads to separate customers' belongings in different areas, increasing security. Double-end door containers are also well-liked as ticket entry points at large events because they are able to easily accommodate lines of people while keeping them dry.
Our 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 sides. We've also added PIR insulation and heaters to these containers, making them suitable for year-round storage.
We can make tunnel containers in custom sizes to meet your precise specifications if you need an even more customized solution. We can manufacture them in single- and double-sided variants and also in various lengths. Custom-sized tunnel containers are more expensive than regular shipping containers, so we suggest choosing the smallest size that is suitable for your needs.
Temperature-Sensitive Goods
Most hazardous goods including explosives, flammable liquids and organic peroxides, require storage at temperatures that are optimal. Any temperature fluctuations could alter their stability and lead to a combustion 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.
These fluctuations can often be difficult to detect, especially during the busy hours of a day. This is the reason it's vital that container terminals have a system that can provide real-time temperature monitoring across all reefer containers inside their facility. This gives personnel the ability to respond quickly in the event 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. Double doors are situated at both ends of the container, which makes it easier to load and unload during transportation and storage. They can be used to store large objects like vehicles or machinery.
These modified containers are made from typical shipping containers of 20ft or fortyft. The solid end is removed and double doors is then welded to create a two-way entry. These modified containers are commonly used on construction locations where heavy machinery needs to be able to pass over and under.
Some container terminals transform their tunnel shipping containers into secure entrances to their sites with a turnstile installed as people pass through. These conversions, which aren't available in standard sizes, can be modified to meet the specific needs. They are also less expensive than building a complete facility. Tunnel containers are typically only available as a 'new one-time use condition. 40ft tunnel containers is because the owners build them for a specific use and then retain them for a period of time. They are sought-after by those looking to expand their business or warehouse without having to invest in 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
If you're looking for a storage space for your cargo, a tunnel container is an excellent option. They have double doors at both ends, in contrast to a standard dry storage container which only has one door. This lets you access your storage container from either side. This allows you to unload and load goods.
This dual entry point is especially beneficial for storage containers that will be used to store items you need frequent access to equipment or machinery equipment. This means you won't need to reverse your vehicle into and out of the storage container on a regular basis which could cause damage to the container as well as your vehicle.
You can also keep your items in a tunnel container when you require a certain temperature. The thermal and refrigerator tunnel containers are perfect for this as they have temperature control that keeps the contents at a certain temperature.
A tunnel container is an ideal solution for a garage or workshop. It lets you access all areas of your workspace without having to move any furniture. The double doors at each end also allow you to access and exit your storage container quickly, should you need to.
One-trip tunnel containers are offered as new constructions with two sets double doors or modified shipping containers. In the second case the solid end is removed from the container, and a pair of double doors is attached to each end.
Shipping containers like these are usually only available as 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 can purchase refurbished tunnels from some companies that provide this particular type of container. The refurbished containers are tested to ensure they are safe to transport 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 goods from either end. These containers are ideal for transporting bulk and general cargo, as well as more specific items such as automobiles or motorbikes. These containers are also often used as tunnels for temporary use on construction sites due to their safety, durability and flexibility to modify.
Shipping Containers with double doors are extremely useful for storage. Having access to both sides of the container means that there is no necessity to completely empty the goods or even remove a section of the container to reach the items stored in the back, which could save time and money. Furthermore, the doors on both ends can be locked to stop unauthorized access.
These containers are made from corten steel and are designed to withstand harsh conditions. They're wind and watertight and are equipped with ventilation to ensure adequate airflow. These features protect items from moisture, reducing the risk of loss and deterioration.
Based on your needs depending on your needs, you can select among a variety of options for tunnel containers. For example, open top containers have a bow-top that is removable, which allows for the easier loading of heavy and large cargo. Side-open containers have doors on the side making 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.
They are available in new and refurbished options in sizes of 20 and 40 feet, with doors on both ends to allow for easy loading. The containers can be customized to meet your requirements, but will cost more than a standard double door container.
