Tunnel Container Uses

Tunnel containers are also referred to as double door shipping containers. They have the same dimensions as a standard ISO container, but the difference is that they open at both ends. This permits access to cargo easily and is an excellent feature if you intend to use the container to store or convert projects.

Transport

A tunnel container is ideal for a variety. The dual entry points permit easy access to equipment and other materials at either end, making it easier for palletised loads to be moved by forklifts, and makes stock flow management much easier. Tunnel containers are commonly used as bridges for temporary use on construction sites, and also as ticket entrances at events such as festivals.

They are also an excellent option for self-storage. With the erection of a steel bulkhead partition the 20ft tunnel container could be converted into two 10ft units, increasing the ROI. Tunnel containers can be modified in a variety of ways, including lighting inside, as well as side windows - making them even more convenient for businesses.

Double doors at both ends of the container are ideal for storing large or bulky items. This is especially useful in warehouses where it may be hard to fit large machinery or vehicles into standard shipping containers. You can save a lot of time by not having to constantly move the container.

Tunnel containers can be fitted with heating and cooling systems, which allows them to be used for temperature controlled storage of products such as foods, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and electronic equipment. They can also be fitted with ventilation systems to stop condensation.

Tunnel containers are available in 20ft and 40ft tunnel containers sizes, just like standard shipping containers. They meet ISO shipping standards and CSC plating to be used for international freight. They can also be made weatherproof by adding insulation.

They can be transported on flat-bed trucks or chassis or mounted on a frame for a truck or tracks. They are an excellent choice for military and law enforcement equipment since they can easily be moved between bases. This may also prevent unwanted identification of expensive equipment like command-and-control centres or mobile operating theaters. They can be transported with various weapons such as missile launchers. Container City in Cholula is a great example of how old sea containers can be turned into restaurants, workshops galleries, and even homes!

Stores

Double-end door containers, or Tunnel Containers as they are generally referred to, allow access to storage items from both ends of the container tunnel. This significantly increases ease of access for loading/unloading and allows for the full utilization of storage space. This makes these containers ideal as self-storage facilities giving access to both sides of the container, without having to take items off. This is particularly useful for those storing larger, bulky or awkward items like machinery and heavy equipment.

Additionally the tunnel container's design allows them to be easily converted into offices or other safe storage spaces. Unlike open side shipping containers that must be completely unloaded in order to gain access to the contents tunnel containers can be opened from either end and the doors locked shut again. This is why they are ideal for creating on-site offices and even housing if required.

These shipping containers can also be used to store special equipment. Military units can make use of them to transport expensive systems to temporary locations such as command and control centres or mobile operating theaters, thus avoiding the need to move these systems via road.

This method can also be used to transport special industrial equipment like turbines or generators. This allows for rapid deployment of critical infrastructure to areas where it is needed which reduces the time and expense associated with installing fixed infrastructure.

These units are able to be fitted with a temperature control system and an insulation for thermal purposes if you are shipping dangerous cargo such as biological or chemical materials. This allows them to maintain a constant low temperature and ensures that there is no spoilage during transportation.

These units are able to be fitted with tarp covers that can be removed which offer greater flexibility when loading and unloading. This allows tall or bulky cargo to be transported that might not fit in conventional shipping containers, like construction materials, timber or large machines. To ensure security, these units can also be equipped with a lockbox of high security that blocks access from the top of the container.

Stuffing & De Stuffing

When it concerns storage and shipping logistics professionals employ a variety of terms to describe the methods by which cargo is readied to be transported and moved through a supply chain. These terms include container stuffing and de-stuffing, which are the process through which goods are taken out of or loaded into containers for shipping. Understanding these concepts is important to the success of any business that uses shipping containers for storage or distribution.

Stuffing a container tunnel involves strategically placing freight in order to maximize space and meet specific logistical requirements. Depending on the nature the cargo, specific packing and loading techniques are required to avoid damage during transit. It is crucial to place the heaviest cargo on the bottom and place lighter items on top. Additionally, it is important to take appropriate measures of security to stop cargo from shifting during transit. Optimizing the load in the container can help reduce handling, shipping and labor costs. It also ensures compliance with the regulations to ensure safe transportation.

Upon arrival at the destination, container de-stuffing or unloading is an essential step in ensuring the efficiency of supply chain. This involves removing excess cargo from a container. It also requires a careful examination for any indications of physical damage or water damage that could compromise cargo integrity. De-stuffing is only possible in the event that the logistics provider and the shipper are in constant communication and abide by all regulations.

For companies who require a secure and secure access point to their site using a refurbished tunnel container is a cost-effective option. They can be converted to a turnstile, or a manual entry checkpoint to block access to restricted areas in the facility. These units are also popular for bridges that are temporary, and for use as ticket entrances for large-scale 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, as they can be opened from both ends. They're often utilised for self storage by businesses who require dual access to their inventory. Portable Space can weld steel bulkhead partitions to containers that are 20 feet long to create two separate 10ft compartments. This is less expensive than buying new storage containers.

Security

Tunneling is one way to create a direct point-to-point connection across the network. It encapsulates packets using one routing protocol within other protocols, meaning that 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 create tunnels to connect its internal resources and the internet. This will allow them to have uniform security policies for all employees and customers. Using tunnels, the company can also shield sensitive information from being stolen through the public network.

Container cargo loads, even though they are made of steel, are still vulnerable to theft. Thieves have become quite sophisticated in their techniques, and they can often get inside a container by the removal of its hinges or doors. This is why it is essential for businesses to put in place measures to prevent their containers from being stolen.

The installation of a lockbox to the door is one way to achieve this. These are welded steel shrouds that fit around the lug which holds the padlock to the container doors, and they make it difficult to access the padlock with bolt cutters. Companies can also add a high security alarm that will alert the company if someone attempts to cut through the lockbox.

Another method to increase the security of tunnel containers is to set up a turnstile or manual secure entry checkpoint. This is especially beneficial in events where people are entering in large numbers. It is a great way to keep guests safe from rain and wind while allowing security personnel to inspect the people as they enter the venue.

Shipping containers come in different dimensions and sizes which means that businesses can find the one that best suits their requirements. For instance, some are made for bulky items like machinery and vehicles. Others are fitted with doors at both ends making them easier to load and unload. And, there are even refrigerated containers that can be used to transport fresh food.
