Shipping Container Tunnel

Shipping container tunnels, also known as double end doors, have standard double-doors on both ends of the container. When they are opened, they create tunnels. This facilitates easy access and greatly increases the ease of loading and unloading cargo.

Tunnel containers are available in new 'one trip' condition and are suitable for a wide variety of storage and conversion projects. Many customers utilize tunnel containers to build small stores to store their items in a secure manner by partitioning down the middle.

Easy Access

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

Tunnel containers are also ideal for businesses that need to store or transport large or bulky objects 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 time than the standard container. This helps to increase efficiency, reduce costs and avoid costly delays.

The dual access points also make tunnel containers incredibly useful for loading and unloading large items that are too large to fit through a single entrance e.g. furniture, heavy machinery, and vehicles. They are able to accommodate fork lift ramps and hand dolly ramps which are extremely useful in busy work environments.

Since they are made of weatherproof steel tunnel containers can be used in a variety of outdoor locations. For instance, many of our customers utilize 20ft tunnel container containers to keep their staff and guests safe from rain and wind when security checks are conducted at large events such as festivals and concerts. Two tunnel containers laid side-to-side can keep dozens of people safe from the elements while they wait to be scanned or checked for entry.

We've also recently supplied and converted a pair of tunnel containers to a railway heritage site who wanted to build a cozy gift shop. Using PIR insulation and heaters the shipping container tunnel was equipped with lighting and double sockets to allow for year-round use. The clients were so impressed with the results that they have since purchased another container from us to create an even bigger and better shop!

We have a range of new 'one trip' tunnel containers in stock as well as converted second-hand ones. If you are interested in purchasing a tunnel container, please get in touch and we'll discuss the options with you.

Easy Storage

The ability to store cargo in a shipping container is among the most important features of tunnels. Contrary to a standard container which requires you to unload everything to get to the rear, tunnel containers allow you to open either side of the box to store your items. This makes it easier to manage inventory and also saves time when loading and unloading.

In addition, tunnel containers have standard double doors on both walls, which makes them ideal for cargo storage. This feature can also keep the pests out of your storage space. This is crucial for storage of dangerous chemicals or perishable goods.

Due to their dual entry points, tunnel containers are also ideal for conversion into self storage units. Simply putting an internal partition through the middle of a shipping container can create two separate 10ft storage spaces which is ideal for businesses that need 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 'passages' at festivals and music events that help funnel crowds through a specific gap or area.

The versatility of a shipping-container tunnel is what makes it so efficient for a variety of applications. They can be converted into everything from portable offices, workshops, warehouses and much more. For storage the double-end access and weatherproof seals assist to limit movement within the container, thereby reducing the risk of damage.

Shipping containers are made from corrosion-resistant Corten Steel which means they are able to endure harsh environments as well as frequent transport. They can also withstand high winds, and if covered, they will protect your belongings from rain, snow and dust.

The walls and the roof of the shipping container tunnel are insulated to ensure temperatures remain stable, while safeguarding your stored goods. This is especially crucial for perishable products or chemicals that can be affected negatively by extremes in temperature. Shipping containers are able to keep dust and moisture out, which can significantly improve the lifespan of the stored items.

Easy Loading and Unloading

It is crucial to stack cargo vertically inside a shipping tunnel and secure it with straps or load bars. This will ensure that when the containers are transported via rail or sea, the containers won't shift around and cause damage. It's a good idea also to place heavier items at the lower levels of containers and lighter items at the top. You should also keep flammable items away from other items and anything that might be affected by liquids, for example chemicals.

The double doors at both ends of a 40 ft tunnel containers container make it easy to access items that are located in the middle of the container, which is 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 businesses use tunnel containers as well. They divide them in half to create two smaller stores, and allow them easy access from both sides.

In addition to the dual door access of tunnel containers, they can be modified as easily as any other type of shipping container. You can also include windows and lighting according to what you require. They can also be converted into workshops, offices or retail spaces.

It is recommended to do a thorough check prior to purchasing any storage solution. You should also check whether the container is dry and clean, and free of tears, holes or scratched. Also, you should inspect the corner posts to make sure they're not damaged, and also ensure that the locking mechanisms are in good working order. You'll also want to ensure that the container is equipped with a valid CSC plate and is able to be loaded for international transportation.

Easy Conversion

Container homes are also popular because they can easily be modified to include windows and doors as well as an interior wall that divides and outdoor spaces.

The unique characteristics of the shipping container tunnel make it an excellent option to create a strikingly constructed and unique home. Depending on your budget, you can incorporate many other features to create a custom and comfortable living space. You can transform your home from a traditional home into a distinctive and useful piece of art by adding elements like windows and doors and terraces, plumbing and electric.

However, prior to building your tunnel container home, it's important to remember that the process of converting and remodeling a shipping container isn't as easy as putting up some walls. You should consider a variety of factors, including hiring an expert in shipping container conversions.

Selecting the correct shipping container is another important step, as it needs to be the same dimensions as the other shipping container you're planning to connect. In the event of a mismatch, you could face structural problems when the containers aren't lined up correctly. It's crucial to select an item that is in good condition as older units are more prone to damage due to corrosion or other causes in transit and storage.

Before purchasing a tunnel shipping container, you must consider what you will use it for. For example, if you're planning to use it to build a warehouse, it could be best to purchase a high cube container with plenty of space. This will give you plenty of space to store and move items around. It also makes it easier to join several shipping containers together in the event of need.
