Tunnel Containers
The main feature of tunnel containers, as the name suggests, is the dual door design at both ends of the container. This greatly improves access and makes tunnel containers ideal for storage and handling.
You can also turn them into self-storage units by adding a partition. We have helped clients make use of them for plant machinery storage and for secure access to sites using turnstiles.
40 ft tunnel containers are modified version of the standard shipping containers that have double doors on both sides. These containers are also known as a "double door end container" or a "tunnel-shaped container". They allow access to the stored items on both ends.
Dual-end access lets cargo be loaded or unloaded from either end of the container. This is perfect for transporting larger or heavier goods that would need to be removed from and into the box. Double-end access eliminates the requirement to empty the entire container to access the items that are buried inside, saving time and reducing the risk of damage.
This nifty feature is what makes tunnel containers so flexible and versatile. They can be used to fulfill various storage and transport needs and can also be converted into mobile offices or living spaces. These containers are constructed of rugged, corrosion resistant Corten steel that can endure the toughest weather conditions.
If you're looking for a more secure option, we can put steel bulkheads to one of the long sides of the container, creating two separate storage compartments measuring 10 feet. Self-storage businesses can use them to separate their customers' belongings in different areas, which increases security. Double-end door containers are also popular as ticket entrances for large events because they can easily accommodate lines of people while keeping them dry.
Our 20ft double-door tunnel containers feature fork pockets that are suitable for industrial forklifts. This means that they can be easily stacked or lifted at the corners of each long side. They are also fitted with PIR insulation and heaters making them ideal for year-round storage.
We can make tunnel containers with custom dimensions to meet your specific requirements if you require an additional bespoke solution. We can manufacture them in both double-sided and single-sided versions, as well as different lengths. Custom-sized tunnel containers are more expensive than standard shipping containers, so we suggest choosing the smallest size that will meet 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 trigger various problems, such as 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.
Often the fluctuations are difficult to spot, especially during a hectic workday. Container terminals must use a system to keep track of the temperature of all reefer containers at their facility. This allows personnel to react quickly to any abnormalities and avoid any risk.
Tunnel containers are a practical option when it comes to transporting and storing temperature-sensitive goods. They feature double doors at both ends, which greatly improves accessibility and speeds loading and unloading processes when warehousing and transportation. They can also be used to store bulky objects, such as machinery and vehicles.
These containers are typically made from a standard 20ft or 40ft shipping container. The solid end is removed, and a new set of double doors are welded in place, allowing two-way access. They are popular for use at construction sites, where it is necessary to pass over and under heavy equipment.
Some container terminals also convert their tunnel shipping containers to be used as a secure entry point to the site, installing a turnstile or an automated security checkpoint when visitors go through. Although these conversions aren't offered in standard sizes however, they can be custom-made to suit specific requirements and are highly cost effective when compared to building an entire facility from scratch. Tunnel containers are usually only available in a "new one-time use condition. This is due to the fact that their owners construct them for a specific purpose and then retain them for a period of time. This makes them a sought-after product for those wanting to increase their business' or storage capacity for warehouses without having to invest in 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
A tunnel container is an excellent option for storing your cargo. These shipping containers feature double doors at both ends, in contrast to a traditional dry storage containers that only has one door. This allows you to access your storage container on either side. This makes it easier to unload and load goods.
This dual entry point is beneficial for storage containers that will be used to store items you need frequent access to equipment or machinery equipment. It means that you don't have to continuously reverse vehicles in and out of the container, which can damage both your vehicle and the container.
You can also use a tunnel container to store items that you need to keep at a specific temperature. The refrigerated and thermal tunnel containers are ideal for this since they have temperature controls to ensure that the items stored in them are kept at a particular temperature.
In addition to offering easy access, a tunnel container is a perfect solution for garages or workshops as it permits you to access all areas of your workspace without having to move objects around. The double doors at each end also mean that you can move into and out of your storage container quickly, should you need to.
One-trip tunnel containers can be built from new with two sets of double doors, or modified from a standard shipping container. In the second case, the solid end is removed from the container and a pair of double doors are attached to each end.
Containers for shipping are typically only available as new in a 'one-trip condition' because the owners have constructed them for a particular purpose and don't want to be sold. Some companies still offer refurbished tunnel containers. These containers that have been refurbished are tested to ensure that they are safe to transport and are sold with a longer warranty.
40ft tunnel container at both ends of the tunnel container make it simple to load and unload goods from either end. This makes them ideal for carrying all kinds of bulk and general cargo, including special goods such as motorbikes or cars. These containers are also used as tunnels in the form of makeshift ones at construction sites due to their safety, 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 need to completely unload the goods or even remove a section of the container in order to access the contents stored in the back, which can save time and money. Furthermore, the doors on both ends can be locked to stop unauthorized access.
These containers are constructed of corten steel and are designed to stand up to harsh conditions. These containers are water and wind-proof, and have ventilation to allow airflow. These features can shield goods from moisture, decreasing the risk of spoilage and loss.
Based on your requirements depending on your needs, you can select among a variety of options for a tunnel container. For instance open top containers feature a removable bow-top that allows for the easier loading of large and heavy cargo. Side-open containers have doors that are positioned on the sides of the container making them ideal for storing smaller goods. 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 sizes of 40 and 20 feet, with doors at both ends to facilitate loading. These containers can be customized to meet your needs, but will cost more than a standard double end door container.
