Tunnel Containers
As the name implies the main feature of a tunnel containers is the dual-door design on each side of the container. This greatly improves access, making tunnel containers ideal for storage and handling.
You can also turn them into self-storage units by adding the partition. We have also helped customers utilize them to store equipment for their plants and to provide secure site access using turnstiles.
Dual Access
Tunnel containers are modified version of the standard shipping containers that have double doors on both sides. It is also known as a 'double-end door container' or tunnel container, These containers allow access to stored items from both ends.
container tunnel -end access allows cargo to be loaded and unloaded from either side of the container. This is ideal for transporting bulkier or larger items that would otherwise need to be backed into and out of the container. The double-end access makes it unnecessary to unload the entire container to access the goods that are stored inside, which reduces time and decreases the chance of causing damage during transportation.
This unique feature makes tunnel containers versatile and flexible. They can be used for a diverse variety of storage and transportation needs, including being converted into living spaces or mobile offices. And because they're made from rugged and corrosion-resistant Corten steel they are able to endure even the most extreme weather conditions.
If you're looking for a more secure alternative, we can join in steel bulkheads onto one of the long sides of the container, creating two separate storage compartments measuring 10 feet. This makes them ideal for self-storage companies that want to increase security by separating their customers' items into individual areas. Our double end door containers are also popular for use as ticket entry points at large events, since they are able to easily handle crowds while keeping them dry.
Our 20ft double door tunnel containers have fork pockets that can be used with industrial forklifts. This means they are able to be stackable or lifted from the corners of each long side. These containers are also outfitted with heaters and PIR insulation which makes them ideal for storage throughout the year.
If you're looking for a customized container solution, we can also manufacture custom-sized tunnel containers to exactly meet your requirements. We can make containers in single- or double-sided versions, and different lengths. However, a custom-sized tunnel container will be more expensive than the standard shipping container, so we recommend selecting the one that is closest to your requirements.
Temperature-Sensitive Goods
The most dangerous products like explosives, flammable liquids and organic peroxides require storage at optimal temperatures. Temperature fluctuations can lead to a variety of 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.
Sometimes the fluctuations are difficult to spot, especially in the middle of a busy day. This is why it's essential that container terminals utilize systems that provide real-time temperature monitoring of all reefer containers inside their facility. This enables personnel to respond promptly to any anomalies and prevent any risks.
Tunnel containers are a practical option when it comes to transporting and storing temperature-sensitive goods. Double doors are found 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 items like vehicles or machinery.
These modified containers are usually constructed from the standard 20 or 40 foot shipping container. The solid end is removed, and the double doors welded in place, resulting in two-way access. These modified containers are often employed on construction locations where heavy machinery needs to be moved over and under.
Certain container terminals convert their tunnel shipping containers into secure entrances to their sites with a turnstile installed as users pass through. These conversions, which aren't available in standard sizes, can be easily customized to meet specific requirements. They are also more affordable than building a complete facility. Tunnel containers are typically only available in a new "one-trip" model because their owners design them specifically for a specific purpose and then hold onto them. This makes them a highly sought-after product for those looking to increase their business or storage capacity in warehouses without the need to purchase an entirely 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 to store space for your cargo, tunnel containers are an excellent option. The containers are double doors at both ends of the container, which is different from traditional dry storage containers that have one door at the end. This lets you access your storage container on either side. This allows you to unload and load goods.
This dual entry point is especially beneficial for storage containers that is used to store items you require frequent access to like machinery or equipment. This means that you don't have to constantly reverse vehicles in and out of the container, which can harm your vehicle as well as the container.
You can also store your goods in a tunnel container when you require a certain temperature. The thermal and refrigerated tunnel containers are perfect for this since they have temperature controls to ensure that the contents inside are kept at a particular temperature.
In addition to offering easy access to the inside of a tunnel container, it is a great solution for a workshop or garage, as it allows you to access every area of your workspace without having to move objects around. The dual doors at each end let you access and exit the storage container quickly in the event of need.
One-trip tunnel containers are available as new constructions that come with two sets double doors or modified shipping containers. In the latter case, the solid end of the container is removed, and the double doors are is welded to each end of the container.
The shipping containers are generally only available in new, 'one-trip' condition, as their owners have designed them for a specific reason and will not want to sell them off. Some companies offer refurbished tunnel containers. These refurbished containers are tested to ensure they are safe to transport and are available with a warranty that is extended.
Easy Transportation
The double cargo doors at both ends of a tunnel container makes it easy to unload and load items from either end. This makes them ideal for transporting all types of general and bulk cargo, including specific goods like motorbikes and cars. These containers are also used as makeshift tunnels at construction sites due to their safety, durability and flexibility to modify.
Shipping containers with double doors are great storage. The ability to gain access to both sides of a container will save you time and money by eliminating the need to remove the entire container or a section to access the items stored at the back. The doors at both ends can also be locked to prevent unauthorized access.
These containers are very robust, and since they're constructed from 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 safeguard your goods from moisture and minimize the risk of loss and spoilage.
Based on your needs, you can choose among a variety of options for tunnel containers. For instance, open top containers have a removable bow-top that allows for the easier loading of large and heavy cargo. Side-open containers come with doors that are set on the sides of the container making them ideal for storing smaller 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 20ft and fortyft with doors at both ends to facilitate loading. These containers can be customized to meet your needs however, they will cost more than a standard double door container.
