Shipping Container Tunnel
Shipping container tunnel s, also called double-end doors, have standard double-doors on both ends of containers. When they are opened they form a tunnel. This allows for easy access, and greatly improves the ease and convenience of loading and unloading freight.
Tunnel containers are available in a new 'one trip' condition and are suitable for a range of storage and conversion projects. Many customers utilize them to create small stores for secure storage - simply by dividing the space.
Easy Access
Tunnel shipping containers come with two double doors at each side, making it easier to access stored items than a container that has only one set of doors. This makes them extremely popular with self storage businesses who use them to build separate storage areas for various types of items - for example, boxes and tools in one, and furniture or machinery in the other.
Tunnel containers are also ideal for companies that require storage or transport of large or bulky items e.g. automobile dealerships, construction firms and manufacturing companies. Their dual entry points ensure that the contents of a tunnel container can be unloaded and loaded in less time than the standard container. This improves productivity, decreases costs, and eliminates costly delays.
Dual access points make tunnel containers extremely convenient for loading and removing large objects, which are too big to fit through a single door. furniture, heavy machinery and automobiles. They can accommodate forklift ramps and hand dollys which are extremely useful when working in a busy environment.
Since they are made of weatherproof steel, tunnel containers can be utilized in a variety of outdoor settings. For instance many of our clients utilize tunnel containers to keep their employees and guests safe from rain and wind when security checks are conducted at large events like concerts and festivals. Two tunnel containers arranged end-to-end can keep dozens out of the rain and wind while they wait for their turn to be scanned or checked-in.
Recently, we transformed two tunnel containers into a cozy gift shop for the railway heritage site. The tunnel for the shipping container was equipped with two sockets and lighting for all-year-round use, with PIR insulation and heaters. The clients were so impressed with the result that they have since ordered another container from us to create an even bigger and better shop!
We have a selection of new 'one-trip' tunnel containers as well as second-hand conversion ones available. Please contact us if you are interested in purchasing a tunnel container. We will be happy to discuss the options with you.
Easy Storage
The capacity to store cargo inside a shipping container is among the most important advantages of a tunnel. Unlike a standard container, which requires you unload everything to gain access to the rear end tunnel containers permit you to open up either end of the box for storage. This makes it much easier to manage your inventory and saves your time when loading or unloading.
Tunnel containers also come with standard double doors on both end walls, making them perfect for storage for cargo. This feature also keeps insects out of your storage. This is essential if you are storing dangerous chemicals or perishable goods.
Tunnel containers are perfect for self-storage units due their dual entry points. Simply putting an internal partition through the middle of a shipping container can create two separate 10ft storage spaces that are ideal for companies that want to rotate their inventory without having to remove everything from both ends. A lot of our customers use tunnel containers to serve as "passages" during events and music festivals that allow them to funnel crowds into specific areas.
The versatility of the shipping container tunnel is what makes it such an efficient solution for broad range of applications. They can be converted into everything from portable offices to warehouses, workshops and more. In terms of storage, their double-end access and weatherproof seals help to limit movement within the container, thereby reducing the chance of damage.
Shipping containers are made of corrosion-resistant Corten Steel which means they are able to handle harsh environments as well as frequent transport. They also can withstand high winds, and if covered, they will protect your items from snow, rain and dust.
The insulated walls and roof of a shipping container tunnel also help to protect the stored goods and also keep temperatures steady. This is particularly important for perishable goods or chemicals that can be affected negatively by extremes in temperature. Shipping containers are able to keep dust and moisture out as well, which can significantly improve the longevity of your stored goods.
Easy Loading and Unloading
It is essential to stack cargo vertically into a shipping tunnel and fix it using straps or load bars. This ensures that when the containers are being transported via rail or sea, the containers don't move and cause damage. It's also a good idea to place heavier items at the lower levels of containers and lighter ones on top. Keep flammables away from other objects, and also anything that might be contaminated with liquids.
The double doors at both ends of tunnel containers make it easy to access items inside the container, which is where you might have trouble with the standard shipping container. This makes tunnel containers ideal for storing inventory for both commercial and personal use. Many self-storage companies utilize these containers too. They divide them in half to create two smaller stores and give them easy access from both sides.
In addition to the dual door access tunnel containers can be modified just as easily as any other type of shipping container. This means you can include lighting and even windows, depending on your requirements. They can be turned into retail, office or workshop spaces.
It is recommended to do a thorough check prior to purchasing any storage solution. It is also important to ensure whether the container is dry and clean, and free of holes, tears or scratches. Check the corners for damage and ensure that all locking mechanisms are in good condition. You'll also want to make sure the container has a valid CSC plate and is able to be loaded for international transport.

But, before you begin building your home for your tunnel container it is important to keep in mind that the conversion and remodeling of an existing shipping container isn't as simple as simply putting up some walls. There are a number of different steps that you should take into consideration such as hiring a construction expert who specialises in shipping container conversions.
The shipping container you choose should be the same size as any other container you plan to connect. If the containers are not lined up correctly there could be structural issues that arise. It's also essential to select a container that's in good condition, as older containers can be vulnerable to rust and other damage in storage and transportation.
Before you purchase a tunnel shipping container, you should consider what you will use it for.
