See What Shipping Container Tunnel Tricks The Celebs Are Utilizing
Shipping Container Tunnel
Shipping container tunnels, also called double end doors, have the standard double-doors at both ends of the container. When they are opened they create a 20 ft tunnel container. This allows easy access and greatly enhances the convenience of loading and unloading cargo.
Tunnel containers are available in a new "one trip" condition and are suitable to complete a variety of conversion and storage projects. Many customers utilize them to create small stores for safe storage by partitioning down the middle.
Easy Access
Tunnel shipping containers have two double doors on each side, making it easier to access stored items than a container with only one set of doors. This makes them extremely popular with self storage companies who utilize them to create distinct storage areas for different kinds of items, for instance boxes, tools and other items in one section and furniture or machinery in the other.
Tunnel containers are also ideal for businesses that require storage or transportation of large or bulky objects e.g. Car dealerships, construction firms and manufacturing firms. The dual entry points of tunnel containers mean that the contents of a tunnel container can be unloaded and loaded in a shorter time than the standard container. This improves efficiency, lowers costs and avoids costly delays.
The dual access points make tunnel containers extremely efficient for loading and unloading large items that are too large to fit through a single entrance e.g. Furniture, heavy machinery, and automobiles. They can easily accommodate fork lift ramps and hand dolly ramps that are extremely useful in busy work environments.
Since they are made of weatherproof steel, tunnel containers can be used in a variety of outdoor locations. For instance our customers use tunnel containers to keep their staff and guests out of the rain and wind during security checks at big events like festivals and concerts. Two tunnel containers set from end to end will keep a multitude of people from the elements while they wait to be checked in.
Recently, we converted two tunnel containers into an inviting gift shop for an historic railway site.
