Advantages of a Tunnel Container
A tunnel container has double doors on both ends which makes it easy to access cargo from either end. This makes it perfect for storing large items like vehicles and machinery.
Most often used for security as turnstiles with dual entry points also make them ideal for self storage containers in which the installation of a partition may split the 20ft units into two 10ft ones.
Accessibility for everyone
The key differentiating factor between tunnel containers and other regular shipping containers is the fact that tunnel containers have doors on both sides. This double access point makes loading and unloading cargo much more simple. It's a major advantage for businesses with specific needs in terms of storage and transportation.
Our client needed a space to store large equipment and tools in order to maintain their railway site. We built an access to the long side of two shipping containers, adding PIR insulation and heaters so that the space could be used throughout the year. We also added lighting, two sockets and a 16A power supply.
The tunnel containers are the ideal workspace for storing their valuable equipment from view by the public while still allowing their employees to easily access it for maintenance and repair. The units are placed on an elevated platform to shield their contents from bad weather and avoid flooding.
For customers who have a more permanent requirement for a tunnel container, we can install electric or manual roller shutters on the side of the container to create an entrance point that is secure. This is perfect for sites that require security checks to be carried out when individuals enter and leave the site.
Tunnel containers can be fitted with a reversible top to create a completely enclosed, windproof and waterproof environment. This will protect against the elements while in transit or in storage. This is especially beneficial for businesses with sensitive materials that need to be kept at a steady temperature, such as food or pharmaceuticals.
Our clients have used tunnel containers in a variety of ways, such as a trade show booth, office space on-site or even for housing. We have a selection of new one-trip containers available in both Florida and Nashville. This means we can locate a solution that will fit your needs. Alternately, we can transform your existing container into a tunnel container by constructing a wall at one end. Our team is available to help with any queries and discuss your ideas.
Easy Stuffing & De Stuffing
It's a big task to fill and remove shipping containers. It takes the right planning, warehouse personnel and the appropriate equipment to get the job done quickly and efficiently. It also takes up lots of storage space at the facility for stuffing and the warehouse that receives the container.
The most important factor when filling a container is to ensure that all the items you need fit comfortably within the box. This will minimize damage to your cargo from compression or shifting during transportation. You should allow enough space to handle and inspect your goods. The container should be inspected to see that the seal remains intact and all of the doors are shut.
The tunnel container also permits you to access the items from both ends. This is important because it will save you time and makes it easier to move your items into and out of the tunnel container. This feature is especially beneficial if you're using the container as a storefront or for security purposes.
The standard double doors are situated on both sides of a single-trip tunnel shipping container. This makes it easy to load and unload cargo. This makes it ideal for storage of large and bulky objects like machinery or vehicles. Self-storage businesses make use of these containers to store and rotate goods that they don't use on a regular schedule.

A tunnel container may also enhance your business by enhancing storage capacity. They are usually larger than standard shipping container sizes and therefore can accommodate more cargo. Additionally they can be modified for a specific use. For instance, they could be made into a car carrier container for use to transport cars.
Tunnel Containers can also be converted into a temporary ticket entrance or bridge at large events. Portable Space can weld in steel bulkheads to create two separate 10ft storage compartments in a 20ft tunnel container for a more cost effective alternative to purchasing two conventional containers. This is also ideal for self-storage firms who want to offer their clients better site access.
These specialized containers are also an ideal solution for construction sites. They can be modified to provide a secure way through a construction site with both sides of the container accessible and lockable. This lets workers easily move through the tunnel while making sure that any traffic out of the area.
You can also convert tunnel containers to security by putting in a turnstile or a checkpoint for security that is manually secured at the time that users enter the container. Tunnel containers can be bought new from the manufacturer or second hand and converted to a specific purpose, such as housing on-site or retail.
