Tunnel Container Uses

The 40 ft tunnel container container is also known as a double door shipping container. They are the same dimensions as standard ISO containers, but they are opened on 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

Tunnel containers can be used for many different reasons. Dual entry points make it easy to access equipment and materials at either end. This makes it easier to move palletised loads using forklifts, and it simplifies stock flow management. Tunnel containers are commonly used as bridges for temporary use on construction sites as well as ticket entrances at events such as festivals.

They also make ideal for self-storage. With the erection of an iron bulkhead partition, one 20ft tunnel container can be transformed into two 10ft units, maximising return on investment. Tunnel containers can be customized in many ways. They can have internal lighting and side windows which makes them more suitable for businesses.

The double doors on both sides of the container make it ideal for storing bulky or larger items. This is particularly useful in warehouses, as it can be difficult to fit large equipment and vehicles inside standard shipping containers. You can save lots of time by not having to continually move the container.

Tunnel containers can be fitted with cooling and heating systems, enabling them to be used for temperature controlled storage of items such as food chemical, pharmaceuticals, chemicals and electronic equipment. They can also be equipped with ventilation to prevent condensation.

Tunnel containers are available in 20ft or 40ft sizes, the same as traditional shipping containers. 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 chassis or flat-bed trucks, or mounted on a frame for a truck or tracks. They're also a great option for military or law enforcement equipment since they can be easily moved between bases and can prevent unwanted identification of high-value equipment like command and control centers or mobile operating theatres. They can be shipped with different weapons including missile launchers. The Container City in Cholula, Mexico is an excellent example of how the old sea containers can be converted into restaurants, galleries and workshops - and homes!

Stores

Double-end doors containers, also referred to as Tunnel Containers, allow access to the stored items on both sides of the container. This allows for simple loading and unloading, as well making full use of the storage space. This makes these containers ideal as self storage facilities, providing access to both sides of the container, without having to take items off. This is especially useful for those who need to store massive, bulky or awkward objects such as machinery and heavy equipment.

In addition, the tunnel container design permits these units to be easily converted into offices or other secure storage spaces. Unlike open side shipping containers that must be completely empty to gain access to the contents, tunnel containers can simply be opened from either side and locked again. They are great for constructing offices on site, and even housing, if required.

These shipping containers can also be used to store specialised equipment. Military units can make use of them to transport expensive systems to temporary locations such as command and control centres or mobile operating theatres, which eliminates the necessity to transport these systems by road.

Similarly, specialised industrial equipment like turbines and generators can be transported in this way as well. This allows for the rapid deployment of critical infrastructure in areas where it is needed, greatly reducing the time and cost associated with installing fixed infrastructure.

For those who want to transport an item that is more risky like biological or chemical substances, these units can be equipped with specially designed thermal insulation and a controlled temperature control system. This permits the unit to keep the temperature at a lower level, thus preventing any spoilage.

They are also available with a removable tarp cover, providing extra flexibility for loading and unloading. This allows large or heavy items that wouldn't fit in traditional shipping containers to be transported, like large machinery wood, construction materials or other heavy items. For extra security, these containers may also be equipped with a high security lockbox that blocks access from the top of the container.

Stuffing & De Stuffing

When it comes to shipping and storage, logistics professionals use various terms to describe the ways cargo is prepared to be transported and moved through a supply chain. Container stuffing and destuffing are terms that describe the process of loading or removing goods from a shipping container. Understanding these concepts will assist any business that relies on shipping containers for distribution or storage to be successful.

Stuffing a tunnel container is strategically placing the cargo to maximize space and meet the specific requirements of logistics. Based on the nature of the cargo specific packing and loading techniques must be used to prevent damage during transport. This includes placing the most heavy items on the bottom, stacking lighter ones on top, and using appropriate securing measures to keep cargo from shifting in transit. Optimising the container load also aids in reducing shipping, handling, and labour costs per unit. It also ensures that the container is in compliance with regulations for safe transportation.

Unloading or de-stuffing a container is a crucial step to ensure the effectiveness of your supply chain. This process removes any excess freight from a shipping container and involves careful inspection to identify any signs of water damage, or other physical damage that could threaten the integrity of the cargo. De-stuffing is only possible when the logistics company and shipper can communicate effectively and abide by all regulations.

For companies who require a secure and secure site access point using a refurbished tunnel container is a cost-effective option. The containers can be modified to serve as the option of a turnstile or a manual entry checkpoint, which blocks access to restricted areas within the facility. These containers are also used for bridges that are temporary and also as ticket entry points at large-scale events.

Tunnel containers aren't the most sought-after type of shipping container, but they're becoming more popular for multimodal logistics. Their double end doors make them ideal for storage and shipping, as they can be accessed from both ends. They are often used to store items in self-storage by companies who need dual access to their inventory. Portable Space can weld steel bulkhead partitions into a 20ft container to create two separate 10ft storage compartments. This is a lot less expensive than buying new storage containers.

Security

Tunneling is a method to set up direct point-topoint connections across the network. It encapsulates packets using one routing protocol inside other protocols, so routers at either end of the tunnel container uses can connect directly to one another.

This allows for different applications to share the same infrastructure. For instance, a business can use tunnels to access public internet and internal resources. This will help them to keep a uniform security policy for their employees and customers. The company can protect sensitive data from being intercepted by using tunnels.

Despite being constructed of steel, container cargo loads are still vulnerable to theft. The methods used by thieves have improved and they are now able to break into steel containers by removing the doors or hinges. Therefore, it's important for companies to implement measures to prevent their containers from being taken.

Installing a lockbox on the door is one way to achieve this. These are welded steel shrouds which fit around the lug on the door which holds the padlock. They make it very difficult to access the padlock's location using bolt cutters. The company can also include an alarm with a high level of security that alerts the company if someone attempts to cut through the lockbox.

Another way to increase the security of tunnel containers is to set up an automated or manual entry checkpoint. This is particularly helpful in events where people are arriving in large numbers. It is a great way to keep guests safe from rain and wind, while allowing security personnel to conduct checks as people enter the venue.

Shipping containers come in a variety of dimensions and sizes which means that businesses can find the best one to meet their needs. For instance, some are designed to accommodate bulky objects like machinery and vehicles. 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 items.
