container tunnel technology
As the name implies the most important feature of a tunnel containers is the dual-door design at each end of the container. This significantly improves accessibility, making tunnel containers ideal for storage and goods handling.
You can also convert them into self-storage units by incorporating the partition. We have also helped clients make use of 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. These containers are also known as a "double end door container" or a "tunnel-shaped container". They permit access to the storage items at both ends.
The dual-end access allows for cargo to be loaded and unloaded from either side of the container, which is ideal for transporting larger or bulkier goods which would otherwise have to be backed in and out of the container. Double-end access removes the need to empty the entire container in order to reach goods buried deep within, thereby saving time and reducing the chance of damage.
This clever feature makes these tunnel containers flexible and adaptable. They can be used for a wide variety of storage and transportation requirements, including being transformed into living spaces or mobile offices. Because they're constructed of rugged, corrosion-resistant Corten steel, these containers are able to endure even the most extreme weather conditions.
If you're looking for a more secure alternative, we can join in steel bulkheads on one of the long sides of the container, creating two separate storage compartments measuring 10 feet. Self-storage businesses can use them to divide their customers' belongings into different areas, increasing security. Our double-end door containers are popular for use at large events as ticket entrances because they can hold long lines of people and keep them dry.
Our 20ft double door tunnel containers feature fork pockets that are suitable for industrial forklifts. This means that they are able to be stackable or lifted at the corners of each long side. They are also fitted with heaters and PIR insulation making them ideal for storage throughout the year.
If you're looking for a more customized container solution We can also create custom-sized tunnel containers to match your specific requirements. We can produce tunnel containers with single or double-sided models, as well as different lengths. However the custom-sized tunnel containers will be more expensive than a standard shipping container, so we suggest getting the closest size to your requirements.
Temperature-Sensitive Goods
The storage of the most dangerous goods such as explosives or flammable liquids is best stored at temperatures that are optimal. Temperature fluctuations can cause a variety of issues, including fire and 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.
In many cases the fluctuations are difficult to identify, especially during a hectic workday. This is why it's crucial that container terminals use systems that provide real-time temperature monitoring across all reefer containers inside their facility. This gives personnel the ability to react quickly in the event of any issues and also to prevent any risks that could arise.
Tunnel containers are a practical option when it comes to transporting and storing temperature-sensitive goods. They feature double doors at both ends, which enhances accessibility and expedites loading and unloading operations when warehousing and transportation. They can be used to store large objects such as machinery or vehicles.
These modified containers are made from standard shipping containers of 20 or 40 feet. The solid end is removed, and double doors is put in place to create two-way access. They are a popular choice at construction sites, where it is required to pass over and under heavy equipment.
Some container terminals also convert their tunnel shipping containers to be used as a secure entrance to the site by installing a turnstile or an automated security checkpoint when visitors traverse through. These conversions, not available in standard sizes, can be easily customized to meet the needs of specific customers. They are also more cost-effective than building an entire facility. Tunnel containers are generally only available in a "new one-time use condition. This is because the owners build them to meet a specific need and then hold on to them. This makes them a sought after product for those who want to increase their business' or warehouse storage capacity 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 an ideal option to store your cargo. These containers have double doors at both ends, as opposed to a standard dry storage container which only has one door. This lets you access your storage container on either side. This allows you to load and unload goods.

One-trip tunnel containers can be constructed from new with two sets of double doors, or modified from a standard shipping container. In the second scenario, the solid end is removed from the container, and a pair of double doors are attached to each end.
These shipping containers are typically only available in brand new one-trip condition, as their owners will have created them for a particular purpose and will not want to sell them off. Some companies are still offering recycled tunnel containers. These recycled containers have been checked to ensure they're safe to transport and can be sold with a longer warranty for added peace of mind.
