Tunnel Containers
As the name suggests the most important feature of a tunnel containers is the dual-door design at each end of the container. This greatly improves access, making them ideal for storage and handling.
You can also turn them into self-storage units by adding a partition. We have also assisted customers use them to house plant machinery and offer secure access to their site using turnstiles.
Dual Access
A tunnel container is an alternative to the typical shipping container, with double doors at both ends. It is also known as a 'double-end door container' or a tunnel container, these containers provide access to stored items from both ends.
The dual-end access permits cargo to be loaded and unloaded from either side of the container. This is ideal if you're transporting heavier or bulkier items which would otherwise have to be backed into and out of the container. Double-end access eliminates the requirement to empty the entire container in order to reach goods buried deep inside, saving time and reducing the risk of damage.
This innovative feature makes tunnel containers flexible and adaptable. They can be used to satisfy various storage and transport requirements and can also be converted into mobile offices or living spaces. They are made of durable, corrosion resistant Corten steel and can endure the toughest weather conditions.
If you're seeking a more secure option, we can weld in steel bulkheads onto one of the long sides of the container, creating two separate storage compartments measuring 10 feet. Get More makes them perfect for self storage businesses who want to increase security by segregating their customer's items into separate areas. Our double-end door containers are a favorite at large events as ticket entrances because they can hold long lines of people and keep them dry.
Our new 20ft double-door tunnel containers come with fork pockets that are suitable for large industrial forklifts which means they can be easily stacked or lifted from the corners of both long sides. We've also added PIR insulation and heaters to these units, making them suitable for year-round storage.
If you're after a more custom-designed container, we can also manufacture custom-sized tunnel containers to meet your exact specifications. We can produce tunnel containers with single or double-sided versions, and different lengths. However a custom-sized tunnel container will cost more than the standard shipping container, so we suggest selecting the one that is closest to your requirements.
Temperature-Sensitive Goods
The storage of the most hazardous products like explosives or liquids that ignite is best done at optimal temperatures. Any fluctuations in temperature can affect their stability, and cause explosion or release of toxic fumes. When storing temperature-sensitive hazardous goods, it's essential that container terminal facilities are equipped with the appropriate monitoring equipment to track and identify any anomalies or deviations from set temperatures.
These fluctuations can be difficult to spot, particularly in a busy workday. This is why it's essential that container terminals utilize an instrument that provides real-time temperature monitoring for all reefer containers in their facility. This gives personnel the ability to respond quickly in the event of any anomalies and to avoid any risk.
Tunnel containers are a practical option when it comes to transporting and storing temperature-sensitive goods. They have double doors at both ends, which increases accessibility and speeds loading and unloading procedures when warehousing and transportation. They can also be used to store bulky items such as vehicles and machinery.
The modified containers are typically constructed from the standard 20 or 40 foot shipping container. The solid end is removed and new double doors is welded into place, creating two-way access. These modified containers are typically employed on construction locations where heavy machinery needs to be passed over and under.
Some container terminals also convert their tunnel shipping containers to serve as a secure site entrance by installing a turnstile or manual security checkpoint as users traverse through. While these conversions aren't available in a standard size, they can be easily customized to meet specific requirements and are extremely cost-effective when compared to building an entire facility from scratch. Tunnel containers are generally only available as a 'new one trip' condition. This is because the owners build them to meet a specific need and then keep them for a period of time. This makes them a sought-after product for those wanting to increase their business' or storage capacity in warehouses without the need to purchase an entirely new refrigerated facility. They are also a very economical solution for those who want to store temperature-sensitive goods over long periods of time, or for transporting large volumes of cargo over long distances.
Convenient Storage
A tunnel container is the ideal container to store your cargo. They have double doors at both ends, in contrast to a traditional dry storage containers that only has one door. This lets you access your storage container from either side. This allows you to load and unload goods.
This dual entry point is especially useful when storing items that require frequent access, for example, machinery and equipment. It means that you don't need to reverse your vehicle constantly to and from the container, which can damage both your vehicle and the container.
You can also use a tunnel container to store goods that you need to keep at a certain temperature. The refrigerated and thermal tunnel containers are ideal for this as they have temperature controls to ensure that the goods stored inside are kept at a certain temperature.
In addition to providing an easy access for your workers, a tunnel container is a great solution for garages or workshops because it allows you to access all areas of your workspace without having to move things around. Two doors at either end let you quickly enter and exit your storage container when needed.
One trip tunnel containers can be built from new with two sets of double doors, or adapted from a standard shipping container. In the second scenario the solid end is removed from the container and a pair of double doors are welded to each end.
The shipping containers are generally only available in new"one-trip" condition, since their owners will have created them for a specific reason and will not wish to sell them off. However, you can purchase refurbished tunnels from a few companies who offer this type of container. These refurbished containers are tested to ensure that they are safe for transport and can be sold along with a warranty that is extended.
Easy Transportation
Double cargo doors at both ends of the tunnel container make it simple to load and unload goods from either end. This makes them ideal for transporting all types of general and bulk cargo, including special goods such as motorbikes or cars. These containers are often used to construct temporary tunnels on construction sites because of their durability, safety and flexibility in modifying.
Shipping containers with double doors are very convenient for storage purposes. The ability to access both sides of a container will save you time and money by removing the necessity of removing the entire container or a section to access the items stored at the back. Additionally, the doors on both ends can be locked to prevent unauthorised access.
These containers are made of corten steel and are designed to stand up to harsh conditions. These containers are water- and wind-proof and they have ventilation to ensure that airflow is maintained. These features protect items from moisture, making it less likely for them to suffer from loss and deterioration.
Based on your requirements depending on your needs, you can select among a variety of options for tunnel containers. Open top containers, for instance they have bow-tops that can be removed to make loading heavy and large cargo more convenient. Side-open containers have doors on the side, which makes them ideal for storing small goods. A refrigerated ISO container, or reefer, has a regulated temperature and can be used to store temperature-sensitive goods.
The containers are available in refurbished and new models in 20ft and 40ft sizes and have doors on both ends to make loading easy. These containers can be customized to meet your requirements however, they will cost more than a standard double door container.
