7 Simple Strategies To Totally Rocking Your Tunnel Containers
Tunnel Containers
Like 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 and makes them ideal for handling and storage of items.
They are also popular for conversion into self storage units as you can divide them by adding an enclosure wall. We have also helped customers make use of them to house equipment for their plants and to provide secure site access using turnstiles.
Dual Access
A tunnel container is a modified version of the standard shipping containers with double doors at both ends. They are also referred to as a "double door end container" or a "tunnel-shaped container". They allow access to the stored items on both ends.
Dual-end access permits cargo to be loaded and unloaded at either end of the container. This is perfect for transporting heavier or larger goods that would need to be backed into and out of the box. Double-end access eliminates the requirement to empty the entire container in order to access the items that are buried inside, which saves time and reducing the risk of damage.
This unique feature makes tunnel containers versatile and flexible. They can be used to meet various storage and transport needs and can also be transformed into mobile offices or living spaces. These containers are made of durable, corrosion resistant Corten steel and are able to stand up to the most severe weather conditions.
If you're looking for a safer option, we can weld in steel bulkheads on one of the long sides of the container, resulting in two separate 10ft storage compartments. Self-storage companies can use bulkheads to separate customers' belongings into different areas, thereby increasing security. Double-end door containers are also popular for use as ticket entry points at large events, as they are able to easily accommodate lines of people while keeping them dry.
Our new 20ft double-door tunnel containers come with fork pockets designed 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 which allows them to be used for year-round storage.
We can build tunnel containers in custom sizes to meet your precise specifications if you need a more bespoke solution. We can make containers in double-sided and single-sided models, as well as different lengths. However the custom-sized tunnel containers is more expensive than an ordinary shipping container, so we recommend choosing the size that is closest to your requirements.
Temperature-Sensitive Goods
The storage of the most hazardous items such as explosives or flammable liquids should be handled at the right temperature. Any fluctuations in temperature can alter their stability and lead to 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 detect, particularly during a hectic workday. Container terminals must use an instrument to keep track of the temperature of all reefer containers at their facility. This allows staff to react quickly in the event of any abnormalities and prevent any potential risks.
Tunnel containers are a practical option when it comes to transporting and storing temperature-sensitive goods. Double doors are found at both ends of the container, making it easier to load and unload during transport and storage. They can be used to store large items like vehicles and machinery.
These containers are modified from standard shipping containers of 20ft or 40ft. The solid end is removed, and double doors is then welded to create a two-way entry. These modified containers are often used on construction locations where heavy machinery needs to be able to pass over and under.
Certain container terminals convert their tunnel shipping containers into secure site entrances, installing a turnstile as users pass through. Although these conversions aren't offered in standard sizes but they are easily customized to meet specific requirements and are cost-effective compared to constructing an entire facility from scratch. Tunnel containers are typically only available in a new 'one trip' condition since their owners build them specifically for a particular purpose and then hold onto them. They are highly sought-after by those who wish to expand their business or warehouse without the need to purchase brand new refrigeration facilities. 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
Tunnel containers are 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 a single door. This means you can access your storage container from both sides which allows for more convenient access and faster loading and unloading of goods.
This dual entry point is especially beneficial for a container which is intended to store goods that you require frequent access to like machinery or equipment. This means that you don't have to shift your vehicle in and out of the storage container on a regular basis, which could damage both the container as well as your vehicle.
You can also store your goods in a tunnel container when you require a certain temperature. The thermal and refrigerator tunnel containers are great for this, as they feature temperature control that keeps the items inside at a certain temperature.
In addition to providing an easy access, a tunnel container is a great solution for garages or workshops as it permits you to easily reach all areas of your workspace without the need to move things around. Dual doors at either end allow you to swiftly access and exit your storage container, if required.
One-trip tunnel containers are offered as new constructions with two sets double doors or modified shipping containers. In the latter case the solid end of the container is removed and a set of double doors installed at each end of the container.
Shipping containers such as these are usually only available as new 'one-trip condition', because their owners have built them for a particular purpose and don't want to be sold. However, you can buy refurbished tunnel containers from some companies that offer this type of container. These containers that have been refurbished are tested to ensure that they are safe to transport and are available with a longer warranty.
Easy Transportation
The double cargo doors on both sides of tunnel containers makes it easy to unload and load items from either end. These containers are ideal for transporting general and bulk cargo as well as special objects like automobiles or motorbikes. These containers are often used to build temporary tunnels on construction sites due to their durability, safety, and flexibility in modifying.
Shipping containers with double doors are great storage. 40ft tunnel container to access both sides of a container will save you time and money, by removing the need to remove the entire container or a section to reach the items that are stored in the back. The doors on both sides can be locked to protect unauthorized access.
These containers are made from corten steel and are designed to stand up to harsh conditions. These containers are water and wind-proof, and feature ventilation to allow airflow. These features safeguard your goods from moisture and decrease the chance of loss or spoilage.
You can select from a variety of options for a container tunnel based on your needs. For instance open top containers feature a removable bow-top that allows for easier loading of heavy and large cargo. Side-open containers have doors on the side making 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.
These containers are available in refurbished and new models in sizes of 20 and 40 feet, with doors on both sides to make loading easy. They can also be sized to meet your specific requirements however this will be more expensive than a standard double-end door container.
