Tunnel Container Uses

Tunnel containers are also referred to as double door shipping containers. They have the same dimensions as standard ISO container, but the distinction is that they open at both ends. This feature allows for easy access to the cargo, and is helpful when you are using the container for storage or conversion project.

Transport

A tunnel container can be used for many different purposes. Dual entry points make it easy to access equipment and other materials at either end. This makes it simpler to transport palletised loads with forklifts and also simplifying the management of stock flow. Tunnel containers are often used as temporary bridges at construction sites, and as ticket entrances for festivals and other events.

They also make a great solution for self-storage. By erection of the bulkhead partition made of steel, one 20ft tunnel container could be converted into two 10ft units, maximising return on investment. Tunnel containers can be modified in many ways, such as adding lighting for the interior, and side windows, making them more suitable for businesses.

The double doors at both ends of the container allow it to be used for storage of bulky or larger items. This is particularly useful in warehouses where it may be hard to fit large machinery or vehicles into the standard shipping containers. It can save a huge amount of time since you don't need to constantly shift the container, allowing you to keep moving merchandise throughout the day.

Tunnel containers can be outfitted with cooling and heating units that allow them to be used for temperature-controlled storage units for goods like pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and food items. They can be fitted with ventilation systems to stop condensation.

Tunnel containers are available in 20ft and 40ft sizes, similar to standard shipping containers. They are ISO shipping standards and CSC plated to be used for international freight. They can also be weatherproofed by adding insulation.

They can be positioned on truck frames or tracks, or transported on flat-bed or chassis trucks. They are also a great option for law enforcement equipment since they can be easily moved between bases and can stop the identification of expensive equipment like command and control centers or mobile operating theatres. They can even be loaded with a range of weapons including missile launchers. The Container City in Cholula, Mexico is an excellent illustration of how old sea containers can be transformed into restaurants, galleries and workshops - and homes!

Stores

Double end door containers, or Tunnel Containers as they are popularly referred to, give access to storage items from both ends of the container. This allows for easy loading and unloading as well as full use of the storage space. This makes these units ideal as self storage facilities, offering access to both sides of the container, without having to remove items. This is especially beneficial for those who have to store bulky, large or awkward objects like machinery and heavy equipment.

The tunnel container's design allows these containers to be easily transformed into offices or safe storage spaces. Tunnel containers unlike open-sided shipping containers can be opened from either side with the doors locked again. This allows them to be used for the construction of on-site offices and even housing for when needed.

These shipping container tunnel containers can also be used to store specialised equipment. Military units can utilize them to transport expensive systems to temporary locations such as command and control centres or mobile operating theatres, thus avoiding the necessity to transport these systems by road.

Additionally, industrial equipment like turbines and generators can be transported in this way as well. This allows for the rapid deployment of critical infrastructure to regions where it is required in order to reduce the time and cost associated with installing fixed infrastructure.

For those who want to transport something more hazardous such as chemical or biological materials These units are equipped with special thermal insulation and regulated temperature control system. This allows them to maintain the temperature at a low level and ensures that there is no spoilage during transportation.

These units can be fitted with removable tarp covers that offer additional flexibility when loading and unloading. This permits large or bulky items to be transported that otherwise would not fit inside conventional shipping containers, like construction materials, timber, or large machines. For added security, these containers may also be equipped with a high-security lockbox which prevents entry from the top of the container.

Stuffing & De Stuffing

When it comes to shipping and storage logistics professionals employ a variety of terms to describe how cargo is prepared for transportation and then moved through the supply chain. These terms include container stuffing and de-stuffing. These terms refer to the method by which goods are loaded into or removed from a shipping container. Understanding these concepts is essential to the success of any business which uses shipping containers to store or distribute goods.

Stuffing a container tunnel involves carefully placing the cargo in order to maximize space and meet particular logistical needs. To prevent damage in transport, packing and loading techniques that are specifically for the cargo should be employed. This includes placing the most heavy items on the bottom, and stacking lighter ones on top, and using appropriate securing techniques to stop cargo from shifting in transit. Optimizing the load of the container also helps reduce shipping, handling, and labour costs per unit. It also ensures regulatory compliance for safe transportation.

Unloading or de-stuffing a container, is an important step in maintaining the efficiency of your supply chain. This process removes excess freight from a container for shipping, and involves careful inspection to detect signs of water damage, or other physical damage that could threaten the integrity of the cargo. De-stuffing can only be accomplished in the event that the logistics provider and shipper communicate effectively and comply with all regulations.

Refurbished tunnel containers are a cost-effective solution for businesses that require an unsecure and secure entry point to their site. They can be modified to offer the option of a turnstile or a manual entry checkpoint, which blocks access to restricted areas within the facility. These containers are used for temporary bridges and also as ticket entrances for large events.

Tunnel containers aren't the most sought-after kind of shipping container, but they're gaining in popularity for multimodal logistics. The double-end doors make them ideal for shipping and storage because they can be opened from both ends. Self-storage is an option for organisations that need to have dual access to their inventory. Portable Space can weld steel bulkhead partitions to containers that are 20 ft tunnel container feet long to create two separate 10ft compartments. This is less expensive than buying new storage containers.

Security

Tunneling is a way to establish an instant connection between two points of an internet. It encapsulates packets using one routing protocol within other protocols, so routers on either side of the tunnel are able to connect directly to each other.

This allows different applications to share the same infrastructure. A company, for example can build tunnels to connect its internal resources with the public internet. This will allow them to have consistent security policies for all employees and customers. Using tunnels, the company can also shield sensitive information from being accessed by the public network.

Container cargo loads, even though they are made of steel, remain vulnerable to theft. Thieves have become very sophisticated in their methods and are able to get inside a container by the removal of its hinges or doors. It's therefore important that businesses take steps to ensure that their containers are not stolen.

Installing a lockbox onto the door is one method to accomplish this. They are steel shrouds that are welded that fit around the lug which holds the padlock to the door of the container. they make it extremely difficult to gain access to the padlock area using bolt cutters. Additionally, businesses can put in a high-security alarm that will notify them when someone attempts to cut the lockbox.

Another method to increase the security of tunnel containers is to put in a turnstile or manual secure entry checkpoint. This is particularly helpful when people are entering in large numbers. This can be used to shield guests from the wind and rain while allowing security to conduct inspections at the location.

Shipping containers come in a variety of sizes and configurations and therefore, businesses can choose the one that best suits their needs. For instance, some are made for heavy items like machinery and vehicles. Some containers come with doors on both ends to allow loading and unloading to be made easier. There are refrigerated containers that can be used to transport fresh food items.
