Shipping Container Tunnel

Shipping container tunnels, also referred to as double-end doors, are typical double doors on both sides of the container. When they are opened they form tunnels. This makes it easy to access and greatly increases the ease and convenience of loading and unloading freight.

Tunnel containers are now available in a 'one trip' condition and can be used for a wide variety of storage and conversion projects. Many clients use tunnel containers to create small storage units for safe storage by dividing the space.

Easy Access

With two standard double doors at both ends, tunnel shipping containers offer an easier access to storage items than a regular container that has only one set of doors. This makes them extremely popular with self storage companies who use them to create separate storage areas for various kinds of objects - for instance boxes, tools and other items in one area and furniture or equipment in the other.

Tunnel containers are also great for businesses who require storage or transport of large or bulky items e.g. automobile dealerships, construction firms and manufacturing companies. The dual entry points of tunnel containers means that the contents of a tunnel container can be unloaded and loaded in a shorter amount of time than the standard container. This improves productivity, decreases costs and prevents costly delays.

The dual access points also make tunnel containers extremely efficient for loading and unloading large objects that are too large to be accommodated in a single door e.g. furniture, heavy machinery, and vehicles. They are able to accommodate fork lift ramps and hand dolly ramps that are very useful in busy work environments.

Tunnel containers are weatherproof and can be used outdoors in many different places. For instance, many of our customers utilize tunnel containers to keep their employees and guests safe from rain and wind when security checks are conducted at large events such as festivals and concerts. Two tunnel containers, placed end-to-end can keep dozens out of the rain and wind while they wait to be scanned or checked in.

Recently, we converted two tunnel containers into a cozy gift shop for an historic railway site. Using PIR insulation and heaters, the shipping container tunnel was fitted with lighting and double sockets for all-year-round use. The customer was so thrilled with the result that they ordered another container to build a larger shop!

We have a range of new 'one-trip' tunnel containers and second-hand converted ones available. If you are interested in buying tunnel containers, please get in touch and we can talk you through the options.

Easy Storage

The ability to store cargo inside a shipping container is among the most significant advantages of tunnels. Contrary to a standard container which requires you unload everything to gain access to the rear tunnel containers permit the possibility of opening either end of the box to store your items. This helps you manage inventory and also saves time when loading or unloading.

In addition, tunnel containers come with standard double doors on both walls, which makes them ideal for storage of cargo. This feature can also help keep pests from your storage, which is essential if you plan on storing hazardous chemicals or perishable products.

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

The versatility of the shipping container tunnel is what makes it such an efficient solution for a broad range of applications. They can be converted into portable offices, workshops, warehouses, and more. Storage is made easy through the double-end access, weatherproof seals and the capacity to store the container.

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

The walls and roof of a shipping container tunnel also help to protect your stored goods, and also keep temperatures steady. This is especially important for perishable items or chemicals, which could be affected by extremes in temperature. Shipping containers can also keep dust and moisture out, which can increase the life span of your stored items.

Simple Loading & Unloading

When loading cargo into a shipping container tunnel it is essential to stack items vertically where it is possible and secure them with load bars or straps. It is crucial to stack the containers vertically so that they do not move and cause damage when the containers are moved by rail or by sea. It's also a good idea to place heavier items at the the bottom of the container and lighter ones on the top. Also, keep flammable items out of other items as well as anything that might be affected by liquids, for instance, chemicals.

The double doors at both ends of a tunnel container make it easy to access items inside the container, areas where you might have trouble with the standard shipping container. Tunnel containers are great for storage of inventory, both for commercial and personal use. They are also used by many self-storage companies that divide the containers in half to create two smaller stores, which gives easy access from both sides (where conventional containers would only have one entry point).

In addition to the dual door access of tunnel containers, they can be modified as easily as other kinds of shipping container. This means you can include lighting and even windows, depending on your needs. They can be turned into retail, office or workshops.

If you're in the market for a shipping container tunnel or any other type of storage solution, you'll want to conduct a thorough examination prior to purchasing. This includes ensuring that the container is in a clean and dry condition and free of cracks, tears or holes. Examine the corners for damage and ensure that the 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 transportation.

Easy Conversion

The double doors at both ends create a a tunnel-like appearance. This makes it easy for loading and access from either end. They are often used to store heavy equipment or warehouse storage since they can be able to accommodate large trucks and tractor. They're also a popular option for container home conversions because they can be easily modified to include windows, doors partition walls, and interior outdoor spaces.

The unique features of the shipping container tunnel make it a great option for creating a boldly created and unusual home. Based on your budget, you can add a variety of other features to create a custom and comfortable living space. From windows, doors, and terraces to electricity and plumbing, you can transform your new home into an unique and functional piece of art that will stand out from traditional homes.

But, before you begin building your home in a tunnel it's important to understand that the process of remodeling and converting the inside of a shipping container isn't quite just a matter of putting up some walls. There are a variety of different steps that you should consider for example, hiring a professional in construction who is specialized in the conversion of shipping containers.

Selecting the correct shipping container is another important step, since it has to be the same size as the other shipping container you're planning to connect. Otherwise, there could be structural problems when the containers aren't aligned correctly. It's also essential to select a container that's in good condition, since older containers can be vulnerable to rust and other damage in storage and transportation.

Before you purchase a tunnel shipping container, you should think about what you intend to use it for. If you plan to use it as a warehouse for example it is recommended to select one that has a large cube. This will give you plenty of room to store and move things around. It also makes it easier to connect multiple shipping containers in the event of need.
