Tunnel Containers
The main feature of tunnel containers, as the name implies is the double door design at both ends of the container. This significantly enhances access and makes them ideal for storage and handling of items.
You can also convert them into self-storage units by incorporating the partition. We have helped clients utilize them for plant machinery storage and for secure access to sites using turnstiles.
Dual Access
A tunnel container is a modified version of the standard shipping containers that have double doors at both ends. These containers are also known as a "double door end container" or a "tunnel-shaped container". They provide access to the items stored on both ends.
The dual-end access allows cargo to be loaded and unloaded from both sides of the container, which is ideal when you're moving heavier or bulkier items that otherwise would need to be backed into and out of the container. The double-end access also removes the necessity of unloading the entire container to access the items stored within, which can be time-saving and decreases the chance of damage during transport.
This clever feature is what makes these tunnel containers so versatile and flexible. They can be used for a diverse range of storage and transportation requirements, such as being transformed into living spaces or mobile offices. These containers are constructed of durable, corrosion resistant Corten steel and are able to withstand even the most extreme weather conditions.
If you're looking for a more secure option, we can put in steel bulkheads onto one of the long sides of the container, creating two separate storage compartments of 10 feet. This makes them perfect for self storage businesses who are looking to improve security by segregating their customer's items into separate areas. Our double-end door containers are also well-liked as ticket entrances at large events because they are able to easily accommodate crowds of people while keeping them dry.
Our 20ft double-door tunnel containers feature fork pockets that are suitable for industrial forklifts. This means that they can be easily stacked or lifted at the corners of each long side. 40ft tunnel container are also outfitted with heaters and PIR insulation making them ideal for storage throughout the year.
We can make tunnel containers with customized sizes to meet your exact requirements if you require an even more customized solution. We can produce containers in double-sided and single-sided models and in a variety of lengths. However the custom-sized tunnel containers is more expensive than an ordinary shipping container, so we recommend selecting the one that is closest to your needs.
Temperature-Sensitive Goods
Most hazardous goods like explosives, flammable liquids and organic peroxides require storage at optimal temperatures. Any fluctuations in temperature can affect their stability, and could cause a combustion 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.
In many cases these fluctuations can be difficult to identify, especially in the middle of a busy day. This is why it's crucial that container terminals utilize systems that provide real-time temperature monitoring across all reefer containers in their facility. This allows personnel the ability to react quickly in the event of any abnormalities and prevent any risk.
Tunnel containers are a practical option when it comes to transporting and storing temperature-sensitive goods. They feature double doors at both ends, which improves accessibility and speeds loading and unloading procedures when warehousing and transportation. They can be used to store large items such as machinery or vehicles.
These containers are typically made from the standard 20 or 40 foot shipping container, the solid end is taken away and a new set of double doors are welded in place, creating two-way access. They are often used on construction sites, where it is necessary to pass over and under heavy machinery.
Some container terminals even transform their tunnel shipping containers to function as a secure site entrance, installing a turnstile or an automated security checkpoint when visitors pass through. Although these conversions aren't offered in a standard size however, they can be custom-made to suit specific requirements and are cost-effective when compared to building an entire facility from scratch. Tunnel containers are usually only available in a "one-trip" model, as their owners create them specifically for a particular purpose and then hold onto them. 40 ft tunnel containers makes them a highly sought after product for those who want to expand their business or warehouse storage capacity without the need to purchase a brand 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. These containers come with double doors on both ends of the container, in contrast to traditional dry storage containers that have one door at the end.
