Tunnel Containers - How to Load a Shipping Container

Tunnel containers are shipping containers with double doors on both sides rather than one end. They are available as new 'one trip' containers or used storage containers that have been converted from secondhand.

They are perfect for storing equipment and goods as the dual access points mean that items can be easily removed from either end without needing to move them around. If required tunnel containers can be divided down the middle into two secure storage units.

When loading shipping containers, a well-organized strategy can make all the difference. It will safeguard items, minimize damage, and make the most of space. Containers can be filled in a variety of ways based on the items being transported or stored.
