Tunnel Container Uses

Tunnel containers are also known as double door shipping containers. They have the same dimensions as standard ISO container but the different is that they are opened at both ends. This feature allows for easy access to the cargo and is beneficial for those who use the container for storage or conversion project.

Transport

A tunnel container can be used for a variety different uses. Dual entry points allow you to access equipment and other materials at either end. This makes it easier to transport palletised loads with forklifts, and it makes it easier to manage stock flow. Tunnel containers are often used as temporary bridges on construction sites and also as ticket entrances for events such as festivals.

They are also an excellent solution for self-storage. By building a bulkhead made of steel, a 20ft container tunnel can be divided into two 10ft units. This maximizes return on investment. Tunnel containers can be modified in many ways. They can include internal lighting and side windows which makes them more suitable for businesses.

The double doors on both sides of the container also make it perfect for storing bulky or larger items. This is particularly useful in warehouses where it may be difficult to fit large machinery or vehicles into regular shipping containers. It will save a significant amount of time since you don't have to continually reposition the container and allow you to continue moving your merchandise throughout the day.

Tunnel containers can be equipped with cooling and heating units, allowing them to be used for temperature-controlled storage containers for items like pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and food items. They can also be fitted with ventilation to avoid condensation.

As with conventional shipping containers, tunnel containers are available in 20ft tunnel containers and 40ft sizes. They are 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 truck frame or tracks. They are a great option for law enforcement and military equipment since they can easily be moved between bases. This can also help hinder the identification of expensive equipment, such as command and control centers or mobile operating theaters. They can be shipped with different weapons such as missile launchers. Container City in Cholula is a great illustration of how an old sea container can be transformed into restaurants, workshops galleries, and even homes!

Storage

Double end door containers, or Tunnel Containers as they are generally referred to, allow access to stored items from both ends of the container. This greatly improves the ease of access for loading/unloading and allows for full utilisation of storage space. These units are ideal for self-storage facilities since they permit access to both sides without needing to unload items. This is particularly useful for those who need to store larger, bulky or awkward objects like machinery or heavy equipment.

In addition to this the tunnel container's design permits these units to be easily converted into offices or other secure storage spaces. Tunnel containers unlike open side shipping containers can be opened from either side with the doors locked again. They are perfect for creating offices on site, and even housing, should it be required.

These shipping containers can be used to store special items. Military units can make use of them to transport expensive systems to temporary locations such as command and control centres or mobile operating theaters, thereby eliminating the necessity of moving these systems by road.

Additionally, industrial equipment like turbines and generators can be transported similarly. This allows for rapid deployment of critical infrastructure in areas where it is required and drastically reduces the time and cost associated with installing fixed infrastructure.

These units can be outfitted with the ability to control temperature and a thermal insulation if you are shipping dangerous cargo, such as biological or chemical materials. This allows the unit to maintain the temperature at a lower level, thus preventing any loss or damage.

These units are able to be fitted with removable tarp covers, which provide extra flexibility when loading and unloading. This allows tall or bulky cargo that would not fit into traditional shipping containers to be transported, including huge machinery or construction materials, such as timber or other large items. These containers can be outfitted with high security lockboxes that block entry from the top.

Stuffing & De Stuffing

When it is about storage and shipping, logistics professionals use various terms to describe how cargo is readied for transport and moved through the supply chain. container tunnel stuffing and destuffing are terms that describe the process of loading or removing items from a shipping box. Understanding these concepts will aid any business that uses shipping containers for distribution or storage to be successful.

Stuffing a tunnel container involves strategically placing freight to maximize space and meet specific logistics needs. To avoid damage during transportation, loading and packing techniques that are specifically for the cargo are required. It is crucial to place the heaviest cargo on the bottom, and stack lighter items above. Additionally it is essential to employ appropriate measures of security to prevent cargo from shifting during transit. Optimizing the load of the container also helps reduce shipping and handling costs per unit. It also ensures compliance with regulations for safe transport.

Container de-stuffing, or unloading is an essential step in maintaining the efficiency of your supply chain. This process removes any 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. Regulatory compliance and effective communication between the logistics service provider and shipper are key to a successful de-stuffing operation.

For companies who require a secure and secure access point to their site, a renovated tunnel container is an effective and cost-effective solution. The containers can be modified to provide the option of a turnstile or a manual entry checkpoint that prevents access to restricted areas within the facility. These containers are also popular as bridges for temporary use and also as ticket entrances at large-scale events.

Tunnel containers aren't the most popular type of shipping container but they're becoming more popular for multimodal logistics. They are ideal for both storage and shipping, because the doors are double-ended, allowing access from either end. Self-storage is a popular option for organisations that need to have two access points to their inventory. Portable Space can weld steel bulkhead partitions into the 20 ft tunnel containers-foot container to create two separate 10ft compartments. This is much cheaper than buying new storage containers.

Security

Tunneling is a method used to establish an instant connection between two points on a network. It encapsulates packets that use one routing protocol inside other protocols, meaning that routers on either side of the tunnel are able to connect directly to one another.

This lets different applications use a common infrastructure. For instance, a company, can create tunnels to connect its internal resources to the internet. This will allow them to have the same security standards for all employees and customers. The company can protect sensitive data from being stolen through tunnels.

Despite being made of steel, container cargo loads are still susceptible to theft. Thieves have become quite sophisticated in their tactics and can get inside a container by taking its hinges or doors off. It's therefore important that businesses take steps to stop their containers from being taken.

Installing a lockbox on the door is a way to achieve this. These are steel shrouds that fit around the lug which secures the padlock on the door of the container. they make it very difficult to gain access to the padlock with bolt cutters. The company can also include a high security alarm that will notify the company if someone tries to cut through the lockbox.

Installing a turnstile, or a manual entry checkpoint that has secure access, is another way to increase security. This is particularly helpful when people are able to enter in large numbers. This is a great way to shield guests from the rain and wind and allow security personnel to conduct security checks at the event.

Shipping containers are available in various dimensions and conditions. This lets businesses select the one that best suits their requirements. For instance, some containers are designed for bulky items like vehicles and machinery. Some containers have doors on both ends to make loading and unloading easier. There are refrigerated containers that can be used to transport fresh food.
