Why Is It So Useful? During COVID-19

Shipping  20 ft tunnel container

Shipping container tunnels, also referred to as double-end doors, have standard double-doors on both ends of containers. When they are opened they create tunnels. This makes it easy to access and greatly enhances the convenience 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. They are used by numerous clients to create small secure storage areas, simply by partitioning the middle.

Easy Access

With two standard double doors at both ends tunnel shipping containers give much easier access to items stored than a regular container that has only one set of doors. This makes them extremely popular with self-storage companies who utilize them to create separate storage areas for various kinds of items, for instance, boxes and tools in one, and furniture or machines in the other.

Tunnel containers are also ideal for businesses who need to store or transport large or bulky objects e.g. car dealerships, construction companies and manufacturing companies. Due to their dual entry points tunnel containers can be loaded and unloaded more quickly than standard containers. This allows for increased productivity, reduce costs and avoid costly delays.

The dual access points also make tunnel containers extremely convenient for loading and unloading large items that are too large to be accommodated in a single door e.g. Furniture, heavy machinery and cars. They can be used to accommodate hand dollys and forklift ramps which are extremely helpful for working in a noisy setting.

Tunnel containers are weatherproof steel and can be used outdoors in a variety of different locations. A lot of our customers use tunnel containers to keep their guests and staff from the elements of wind and rain during security checks for large events like concerts and festivals. Two tunnel containers set from side-to-side can keep a large number of people out of the elements while they wait to be checked into.

We've also recently supplied and converted two tunnel containers to a railway heritage site who wanted to create a cosy gift shop. The tunnel for the shipping container was fitted out with two sockets and lighting for all-year-round use, with PIR insulation and heaters. The customer was so thrilled with the results that they purchased a second container to create a bigger shop!

We have a variety of brand new "one trip" tunnel containers available, as well as used ones that have been converted. If you are looking to purchase tunnel containers contact us and we can talk you through the options.

Easy Storage

The capacity to store cargo inside containers for shipping is one of the most important features of tunnels. In contrast to a standard container which requires you to take it off everything to gain access to the rear end, tunnel containers allow you to open up each end of the container for storage. This makes it much easier to manage your inventory and saves you time when loading/unloading.

Tunnel containers have standard double doors on both end walls, making them ideal for cargo storage. This feature can also help keep insects out of your storage space, which is extremely important for those who plan to store hazardous chemicals or perishable products.

Tunnel containers are great for self-storage units due their dual entry points. A shipping container can be divided into two distinct storage areas of 10 feet by adding an internal partition. This is ideal for companies that need to rotate their stock without the hassle of unloading from both ends. Many of our customers use tunnel containers to serve as 'passages' at events and music festivals, allowing them to funnel crowds into a specific area.

In the end, the flexibility of a shipping container tunnel is what makes it such an efficient solution for a broad range of applications. They can be transformed into everything from portable offices to warehouses, workshops and much more. In terms of storage, their double-end access and weatherproof seals aid to limit movement within the container, thus reducing the chance of damage.

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

The insulated walls and roof of the tunnels for shipping containers aid in protecting the stored goods as well as keeping temperatures stable. This is particularly crucial for perishable goods or chemicals that can be affected by extreme temperature fluctuations. Shipping containers can also keep dust and moisture out, which can improve the lifespan of your stored items.

Simple Loading & Unloading

When loading cargo into a shipping container tunnel it is essential to stack items vertically where it is possible and secure them in place with load bars or straps. It is crucial to stack the containers vertically so that they won't shift and cause damage when the containers are transported by railway or sea. It's also an ideal idea to put heavy items at the bottom of the container, and lighter ones on top. It is also important to keep flammable items from other items as well as anything that could be in contact with liquids, such as for example, chemicals.

Double doors at both ends of a tunnel container allow easier access to items that are located in the middle, where access to the standard shipping container might be difficult to access. Tunnel containers are great for storage of inventory, both for commercial and personal use. Many self-storage businesses use them as well. They divide them in half to create two smaller stores, and allow easy access on both sides.

In addition to the dual door access tunnel containers can be modified just as easily as other types of container for shipping. This means that you can add windows and lighting, depending on your requirements. They can be converted into office, retail or workshops.

If you're in the market for a tunnel for your shipping container or any other type of storage solution, you'll want to conduct a thorough inspection prior to making a purchase. This includes checking that the container is in a dry and clean condition and free of any holes, tears or scratches. Also, you should inspect the corner posts to make sure they're not damaged and check that all locking mechanisms are intact. You'll need to make sure that the container has an active CSC plate, and can be loaded for international transportation.

Easy Conversion

Tunnel shipping containers have double doors on both ends to give them a tunnel-like appearance, this allows for easy loading and access from either end. They are often used for storage in warehouses or heavy machinery since they're able to accommodate large trucks and tractor. They're also a preferred option for container home conversions because they are able to be easily adapted to include doors, windows partition walls, and interior outdoor spaces.

These unique features of the tunnel shipping container make it a fantastic option for creating an unusual and striking home. Based on your budget, you can add a variety of additional features to create a custom and comfortable living space. From windows, doors, and terraces to electricity and plumbing and more, you can turn your home into a unique and functional artwork that stands apart from other homes.

However, prior to building your tunnel container home it is important to keep in mind that the process of converting and remodeling an existing shipping container isn't as simple as simply adding walls. There are a variety of different steps you should consider, including hiring a construction expert who specialises in conversions of shipping containers.

Selecting the correct shipping container is another important step, since it has to be of the same dimensions as the other shipping container you're planning to connect. If the containers are not aligned correctly structural issues could arise. It's also crucial to select a container that's in good shape, as older containers are more prone to corrosion and other damages in storage and transportation.

It's also worth considering what you'll use the tunnel shipping container for prior to buying it. If you intend to use it as a warehouse for example it's best to pick the container that has a big cube. This will give you plenty of room to store items and move them around. It will also make it easier to connect multiple shipping containers together when needed.
