Shipping Container Tunnel

Shipping container tunnel, also known as double end door containers have standard double doors on both ends of the container, which creates a tunnel when opened. This makes it easy to access and greatly increases the ease and convenience of loading and unloading freight.

20ft tunnel container containers are available in new "one-trip" condition and are suitable for a wide variety of conversion and storage projects. Many clients use tunnel containers to build small stores for secure storage - simply by dividing them down the middle.

Easy Access

With two standard double doors at both ends, tunnel shipping containers offer an easier access to stored items than a regular container that has only one set of doors. Self-storage companies appreciate them due to the fact that they can be used to create storage areas for various things. For instance, boxes and tools are kept in one place while furniture and equipment are kept in another.

Tunnel containers are also ideal for companies that require storage or transport of large or bulky items e.g. Car dealerships, construction firms and manufacturing companies. The dual entry points of tunnel containers mean that the contents of a tunnel container can be loaded and unloaded in a shorter amount of time than the standard container. This increases productivity, reduces costs and avoids costly delays.

The dual access points also make tunnel containers extremely convenient for loading and unloading large items that are too big to fit through a single entrance e.g. Furniture, heavy machinery and automobiles. They can be used to accommodate forklift ramps and hand dollys, which are very useful for working in a noisy working environment.

Since they are made of weatherproof steel tunnel containers can be employed in a variety outdoor locations. For example many of our clients use tunnel containers to keep their staff and guests out of the wind and rain when security checks are conducted at large events like concerts and festivals. Two tunnel containers placed end to end will keep a multitude of people from the elements while waiting to be checked into.

We've also recently provided and converted a pair of tunnel containers to a railway heritage site who wanted to create a cosy gift shop. The shipping container tunnel was fitted with two sockets and lighting for year-round usage, using PIR insulation and heaters. The customers were so pleased with the results that they have since ordered another container from us to make an even larger and more attractive shop!

We have a range of brand new 'one-trip' tunnel containers on hand, as well as converted second-hand ones. If you're interested in purchasing a tunnel container, please get in touch and we can guide you through the options.

Easy Storage

One of the most important advantages of a shipping container tunnel is that it makes it simple to store cargo inside. In contrast to a standard container which requires you unload everything to get to the rear end, tunnel containers allow you to open up each end of the container for storage. This makes it easier to manage your inventory and also saves you time when loading/unloading.

In addition, 20ft tunnel container containers are equipped with standard double doors on both end walls, which makes them ideal for storage of cargo. This feature will also keep insects out of your storage. This is essential when you're storing hazardous chemicals or items that are perishable.

Due to their dual entry points, tunnel containers are also ideal for conversion into self-storage units. Simply adding an internal partition through the middle of a shipping container can create two separate 10ft storage spaces which is ideal for businesses that want to easily rotate their stock without having to take everything from both ends. Tunnel containers are also utilized by a lot of our customers as 'passageways' at music events and festivals which help to direct crowds through a specific gap or area.

Ultimately, the flexibility of the shipping container tunnel is what makes it such an efficient solution for a broad range of applications. They're able to be converted into anything from portable offices to workshops, warehouses and more. Storage is made easy through the double-end access seals, weatherproof seals, and the ability to store the container.

Shipping containers are made of corrosion-resistant Corten Steel which means they are able to be used in extreme environments and frequent transport. They also can withstand strong winds and, if they're covered by a protective cover, protect your possessions from rain, dust and snow.

The walls and the roof of the shipping container tunnel are insulated to help keep temperatures steady, while also protecting your stored goods. This is particularly important for perishable items or chemicals, which can be affected by extremes in temperature. Shipping containers are able to keep dust and moisture out as well and can greatly extend the life span of your stored goods.

Easy Loading and Unloading

It is essential to stack cargo vertically inside the shipping tunnel and fix it using straps or load bars. It is important to stack the containers vertically so they don't move and cause damage when the containers are transported via rail or sea. It's also a good idea to have heavier items on the bottom of the container, and lighter ones at the top. Keep flammables out of other objects, and also any items that could be contaminated with liquids.

The double doors at the two ends of a tunnel container make it easy to access items in the middle of the container, areas where you might be unable to access them with the standard shipping container. This makes tunnel containers ideal to store inventory for both personal and commercial use. Many self-storage companies utilize tunnel containers as well. They break them into half to create two smaller stores, and allow them an easy access on both sides.

In addition to the dual door accessibility of tunnel containers, they can be modified as easily as other types of container for shipping. This means you can include windows and lighting, depending on your requirements. They can also be transformed into offices, workshops or retail spaces.

You should always perform a thorough inspection prior to purchasing any storage solution. This includes making sure the container is in clean and dry condition and free of cracks, tears or holes. Examine the corner posts for damage and ensure that all locking mechanisms are in good shape. You'll need to make sure that the container is equipped with an active CSC plate, and can be loaded for international transport.

Easy Conversion

The double doors at both ends give them a tunnel-like appearance. This makes it easy for loading and access from either end. They are typically used for storage in warehouses or heavy machinery as they can accommodate large trucks and tractor. Container homes are also popular due to the fact that they can easily be modified to include doors and windows and walls that divide the interior and outdoor spaces.

The unique features of the shipping container tunnel make it a great option for creating a boldly constructed and unique home. Depending on your budget you can include various features to create a unique and comfortable living space. You can transform your home from a traditional house into a unique and useful piece of art by incorporating elements like windows and doors as well as terraces, plumbing and electricity.

But, before you begin building your tunnel container home, it's important to remember that the conversion and remodeling of an existing shipping container isn't as simple as simply adding walls. You must consider a range of aspects, including hiring an expert in shipping container conversions.

The right shipping container must be the same size as any other container you are planning to connect. If the containers are not aligned correctly structural issues could arise. It is essential to choose a container in good condition as older units are more prone to corrosion or other damage during storage and transit.

It's also worth considering the purpose you intend to use the tunnel shipping container for before buying it. If you intend to use it as a warehouse for example it is recommended to select a container with a large cube. This will provide plenty of space to store and move items around. It will also make it easier to join several shipping containers together when needed.
