Shipping Container Tunnel
Shipping container tunnels, also referred to as double-end doors, have the standard double-doors at both ends of the container. When they are opened they create a tunnel. This makes it easy to access, and greatly enhances the convenience and ease of loading and unloading freight.
Tunnel containers are available in a 'one-trip' condition that can be used for various storage or conversion projects. They are used by numerous clients to create small safe storage spaces, simply by partitioning the middle.
Easy Access
Tunnel shipping containers come with two double doors at each end making it much easier to access stored items than containers with just one set of doors. Self-storage companies love them because they can make different storage spaces for various items. For instance boxes and tools are stored in one section while furniture and equipment are kept in another.
Tunnel containers are also great for companies that require storage or transportation of large or bulky objects e.g. construction firms, car dealerships and manufacturing companies. Their dual entry points mean that the contents of a tunnel container may be unloaded and loaded in a shorter amount of time than the typical container. This allows for increased productivity, cut costs and prevent costly delays.
Dual access points make tunnel containers extremely convenient for loading and removing large items, which are too large to fit through one door. furniture, heavy machinery, and vehicles. They can be used to accommodate hand dollys and forklift ramps, which are very useful for working in a noisy working environment.
Tunnel containers are weatherproof steel and can be used outdoors in many different locations. A lot of our customers use tunnel containers to keep guests and staff safe from the rain and wind during security checks for large events like concerts and festivals. Two tunnel containers placed side-to-side can keep a large number of people safe from the elements while waiting to be checked in.
Recently, we converted two tunnel containers into a cozy gift shop for the railway heritage site. By using PIR insulation and heaters the shipping container tunnel was fitted with lighting and double sockets for year-round use. The clients were so impressed with the result that they have since ordered another container from us to build an even larger and more attractive shop!
We have a variety of brand new "one trip" tunnel containers on hand, as well as second-hand ones that have been converted. Contact us if you are looking to purchase tunnel containers. We are able to discuss your options with you.
Easy Storage
The ability to store cargo in containers for shipping is one of the most significant advantages of tunnels. Contrary to a standard container which requires you to take it off everything to get to the rear end, tunnel containers allow the possibility of opening each end of the container for storage. This helps you manage inventory and also saves time when loading or unloading.
Tunnel containers also are equipped with standard double doors on both end walls, making them ideal for storage of cargo. This feature also helps to keep insects from your storage, which is essential for those who plan to store hazardous chemicals or perishable products.
Tunnel containers are perfect for self-storage units due their dual entry points. Simply adding an internal partition down the middle of a shipping container can create two separate 10ft storage spaces, which is perfect for companies that want to rotate their inventory without having to remove everything from both ends. Tunnel containers are also used by a lot of our customers as 'passages' during music events and festivals, helping to funnel crowds through a particular gap or area.
Ultimately, the versatility of a shipping container tunnel is what makes it an efficient solution for a broad range of applications. They can be converted into portable warehouses, workshops, offices, and more. For storage their double-end access and weatherproof seals help to limit movement within the container, minimizing the chance of damage.
Shipping containers are constructed from corrosion-resistant Corten steel, which means they're able to handle harsh environments and frequent transportation easily. They also can withstand strong winds and, if they're covered, will protect your items from rain, dust and snow.
The walls and the roof of the tunnel for shipping containers are insulated to keep temperatures stable while also protecting the stored items. This is particularly crucial for perishable products or chemicals that can be affected adversely by extremes of temperature. Shipping containers also help keep dust and moisture out, which can increase the lifespan of your stored items.
Easy Loading and Unloading
When loading cargo into a shipping container tunnel it's important to stack items vertically whenever it is possible and secure them in place with straps or load bars. This is so that when the containers are being transported by rail or sea the containers won't move around and cause damage. It's a good idea also to place heavier items at lower levels of containers and lighter ones on the top. Keep flammables clear of other objects, and also any items that could be contaminated with liquids.
The double doors at the two ends of a tunnel container permit easy access to items in the middle of the container, areas where you may have difficulty with the typical shipping container. Tunnel containers are great for storage of inventory, both for personal and commercial use. They are also utilized by a variety of self storage companies who partition them down the middle to create two smaller stores, giving access from both sides (where conventional containers would only have one entry point).
In addition to the dual door accessibility of tunnel containers, they can be modified as easily as other types of container for shipping. You can also add windows and lighting, depending on the requirements. They can be transformed into office, retail or workshops.
You should always do a thorough check prior to buying any storage solution. It is also important to ensure that the container is dry and clean and free of holes, tears or scratched. Examine 40 ft tunnel containers for damage, and ensure that the locking mechanisms are in good shape. You'll need to make sure that the container is equipped with an active CSC plate and is able to be loaded for international transportation.

Easy Conversion
The double doors at both ends give them a a tunnel-like appearance. This allows for easy loading and access from either end. They are often used to store heavy equipment or warehouse storage because they can be able to accommodate large trucks and tractor. They're also a popular option for home conversions using containers because they can be easily altered to include doors, windows partition walls, and interior outdoor areas.
The unique features of the shipping container tunnel make it an ideal alternative for creating a well designed and unusual home. Depending on your budget you can add different features to create a unique and comfortable living space. You can transform your home from a traditional home into a distinctive and practical piece of art by adding features such as windows and doors, terraces, plumbing, and electricity.
Before you start building your tunnel container home, it is important to keep in mind that the process of renovating and conversion of a shipping container requires more than simply putting up walls. You should consider a variety of aspects, including hiring an expert in the field of shipping container conversions.
Selecting the correct shipping container is another important step, since it has 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 issues when the containers aren't arranged correctly. It's also important to choose a container that's in good condition, as older units can be susceptible to rust and other damage during storage and transport.
It's also important to consider what you'll use the tunnel shipping container for before purchasing it. For instance, if you're using it to build a warehouse, it could be better to choose an elevated cube container with plenty of extra room. This will give you more room to move around and store items and also make it easier to connect multiple shipping containers if required.
