Tunnel Containers
The main characteristic of tunnel containers, as the name implies is the double doors at the two ends of the container. This significantly improves accessibility and makes them ideal for handling and storage of goods.
They are also popular for conversion into self storage units as they can be divided by constructing walls to divide them. We have assisted customers to use them to store plant machinery and secure access to the site with turnstiles.
Dual Access
A tunnel container is an alternative to the typical shipping container, with double doors at both ends. Known as a 'double end door container' or tunnel container, these containers provide access to stored items from both ends.
The dual-end access allows cargo to be loaded and unloaded from both sides of the container, which is ideal for transporting bulkier or larger items which would otherwise have to be backed into and out of the container. Double-end access eliminates the requirement to empty the entire container in order to access the items that are buried within, thereby saving time and reducing the chance of damage.
This nifty feature is what makes tunnel containers so flexible and adaptable. They can be used to fulfill a variety of storage and transport requirements and can also be converted into mobile offices or living spaces. They are made of durable, corrosion resistant Corten steel and can endure the toughest weather conditions.
If you want an extra secure solution We can join steel bulkheads to one of the long sides, creating two separate storage compartments of 10ft. Self-storage businesses can use them to separate their customers' belongings into different areas, thereby increasing security. Our double-end door containers are popular for use at large events as ticket entry points because they can hold large crowds and keep them dry.
Our 20ft double-door tunnel containers are fitted with fork pockets designed for large industrial forklifts which means they can be easily stacked or lifted from the corners of both sides. These containers are also outfitted with PIR insulation and heaters making them ideal for year-round storage.
If you're after a more bespoke container solution, we can also manufacture tunnel containers that are custom-sized to exactly meet your requirements. We can make them in single- and double-sided variants and in a variety of lengths. However the custom-sized tunnel containers will cost more than the standard shipping container, so we recommend getting the closest size to your needs.
Temperature-Sensitive Goods
Most hazardous goods, such as explosives, flammable liquids and organic peroxides, require storage at the right temperature. Any fluctuations in temperature can affect their stability, and could cause a explosion 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.
Sometimes the fluctuations are difficult to detect, particularly in the middle of a busy day. Container terminals should have a system to monitor the temperature of all reefer containers at their facility. This gives personnel the ability to react quickly in the event of any anomalies and to avoid any risk.
Tunnel containers are a practical option when it comes to transporting and storing temperature-sensitive goods. They are designed with 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 objects, such as machinery and vehicles.
The modified containers are constructed from regular shipping containers that measure 20ft or 40ft. The solid end is removed, and the double door set is then welded to create a two-way entry. These modified containers are often used on construction locations where heavy machinery needs to be passed over and under.
Some container terminals even transform their tunnel shipping container s to serve as a secure entrance to the site by installing a turnstile or manually-operated security checkpoints as visitors pass through. Although these conversions aren't offered in standard sizes but they are easily customized to meet specific requirements and are highly cost effective as compared to the construction of an entire facility from scratch. Tunnel containers are usually only available in a "one-trip" condition, as their owners create them specifically for a certain purpose and then keep them. This makes them a highly desired product for those looking to expand their business or storage capacity in warehouses without the need to purchase 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 a storage space for your cargo, a tunnel container is an excellent option. These containers come with double doors on both sides of the container, unlike standard dry storage containers which have one door at the end. This allows you to access your storage container on either side. This allows you to load and unload goods.
This dual entry point is beneficial for storage containers which is intended to store items you need frequent access to like machinery or equipment. This means that you don't have to reverse your vehicle into and out of the storage container continuously and risk damaging both the container as well as your vehicle.
You can also use a tunnel container to store things that you want to keep at a particular temperature. The thermal and refrigerator tunnel containers are great for this since they feature temperature control that keeps the contents at a specific temperature.
In addition to offering easy access to the inside of a tunnel container, it is a perfect solution for a garage or workshop as it permits you to easily reach all areas of your workspace without having to move anything around. The dual doors at each end let you get in and out of your storage container quickly, if necessary.
One trip tunnel containers can be constructed from new with two sets of double doors, or adapted from a standard shipping container. In the latter scenario the solid end of the container is removed and a set of double doors is welded to each end of the container.
The shipping containers are generally only available in brand new"one-trip" condition, as their owners have designed them for a specific purpose and will not want to sell them off. However, you are able to purchase refurbished tunnels from some companies that offer this type of container. These refurbished containers have been inspected to ensure they're safe to transport and can be sold with a warranty that is extended for added peace of mind.
Easy Transportation
The double cargo doors on both ends of a tunnel container make it easy to load and unload items from either end. This makes these containers ideal for carrying all kinds of bulk and general cargo, as well as special items like motorbikes and cars. These containers are often used to construct temporary tunnels on construction sites due to their durability, safety and ease in modification.
Shipping containers with double doors are excellent storage. Having access to both sides of the container eliminates the need to completely unload goods or even remove a section of the container in order to access the items stored in the back, which could save time and money. The doors at both ends can be locked to stop any unauthorized access.
These containers are made of corten steel and are designed to withstand harsh conditions. They're water and wind-proof and come with ventilation to ensure sufficient airflow. These features can protect your items from moisture and reduce the risk of loss or loss or.
Depending on your needs depending on your needs, you can select from a variety of options for a tunnel container. Open top containers, for example, have a bow-top that can be removed to allow loading of large and heavy cargo more convenient. Side-open containers are equipped with doors on the sides which makes them ideal for storing small items. 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 of 20 and 40 feet and have doors at both ends to make it easy loading. They can also be customized to meet your individual requirements, but this will be more expensive than a standard double-end door container.
