The 10 Scariest Things About Tunnel Containers

Tunnel Containers

The key feature of tunnel containers, as the name suggests, is the dual doors at the two ends of the container. This significantly enhances access and makes them ideal for storage and handling of products.

They are also popular for converting into self-storage units since you can divide them by putting up an enclosure wall. We have helped customers use them for plant machinery storage and secure access to the site with turnstiles.

Dual Access

A tunnel container is an alternative to the typical shipping container, with double doors at both ends. These containers are also referred to as a "double door end container" or a "tunnel-shaped container". They allow access to the stored items at both ends.

Dual-end access allows cargo to be unloaded or loaded from either end of the container. This is a great option for transporting heavier or larger items that need to be backed into and out of the box. Double-end access removes the need to empty the entire container in order to get the goods that are hidden within, thereby saving time and reducing the risk of damage.

This nifty feature is what makes these tunnel containers so versatile and flexible. They can be used to satisfy a variety of transportation and storage needs and can also be converted into mobile offices or living spaces. These containers are made of rugged, corrosion resistant Corten steel that can withstand even the most extreme weather conditions.

If you're looking for a more secure option, we can weld in steel bulkheads on one of the long sides of the container, resulting in two separate 10ft storage compartments. This makes them perfect for self storage businesses who are looking to improve security by segregating their customer's items into distinct areas. Double-end door containers are popular for use for large events as ticket entrances because they can handle large crowds and keep them dry.

Our new 20ft double door tunnel containers have fork pockets that can be used with industrial forklifts. This means that they can easily be stacked or lifted at the corners of each side. We've also installed PIR insulation and heaters to these containers, making them suitable for storage all year round.

If you're looking for a more bespoke container solution we can also make custom-sized tunnel containers that meet your exact specifications. We can create containers in single- or double-sided versions, and different lengths. However the custom-sized tunnel containers will be more expensive than an ordinary shipping container, so we recommend selecting the one that is closest to your requirements.

Temperature-Sensitive Goods

Most hazardous goods like explosives, flammable liquids, and organic peroxides, must be stored at temperatures that are optimal. Temperature fluctuations can cause various 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.

These fluctuations can be difficult to spot, particularly during the busy hours of a day. This is why it's crucial that container terminals have a system that can provide real-time temperature monitoring across all reefer containers inside their facility. This gives personnel the ability to react quickly in case of any anomalies and to avoid any potential risks.

Tunnel containers are a practical option when it comes to transporting and storing temperature-sensitive goods. They have double doors at both ends, which significantly increases accessibility and speeds 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 ft tunnel container or 40 ft tunnel container feet. The solid end is removed and a set of double doors is then welded to provide two-way access. These modified containers are typically employed on construction sites where heavy machinery has to be moved over and under.

Some container terminals even convert their tunnel shipping containers to be used as a secure entry point to the site with a turnstile, or a manual security checkpoint as users pass through. Although these conversions aren't readily available in standard sizes however, they can be custom-made to suit specific requirements and are highly cost effective when compared to building an entire facility from scratch. Tunnel containers are usually only available in a brand new "one-trip" condition because their owners design them specifically for a certain purpose and then hold onto them. They are highly sought-after by those looking to grow their business or warehouse without the need to purchase new refrigeration equipment.
