Tunnel Container Uses

The tunnel container is also called a double door shipping container. They are the same dimensions of the standard ISO containers, but they open at both ends. This allows for quick access to the cargo and is useful when you are using the container as a storage or conversion project.

Transport

A tunnel container is ideal for a variety of purposes. The dual entry points allow for easy access to equipment and other materials from either end, making it easier for palletised goods to be moved using a forklift, and also makes the management of stock flow simpler. Tunnel containers are often used as temporary bridges on construction sites, and as ticket entry points for events like festivals.

They also provide a great solution for self storage. With the erection of the bulkhead partition made of steel, one 20ft tunnel container can become two 10ft units, increasing the ROI. Tunnel containers can be customized in many ways. They can have internal lighting and side windows which makes them more practical for businesses.

The double doors at both ends of the container also allow it to be used for storage of bulky or larger items. This is especially useful in warehouses, where it can be difficult to squeeze large machinery or vehicles into the standard shipping containers. It will save a significant amount of time when you don't have to constantly shift the container which allows you to keep moving goods throughout the day.

Tunnel containers can be equipped with cooling and heating units, allowing them to be used for temperature-controlled storage containers for items like pharmaceuticals, food, and chemicals. They can be fitted with ventilation to prevent condensation.

Tunnel containers are available in 20ft and 40ft tunnel containers sizes, just like standard shipping containers. They are ISO shipping standards and CSC coated to be used for international freight. They can also be made weatherproof by adding insulation.

They can be mounted on tracks or truck frames or transported via flat-bed or chassis trucks. They are an excellent choice for military and law enforcement equipment since they can easily be moved between bases. This can also help stop the unintentional identification of expensive equipment, such as command and control centres or mobile operating theaters. They can also be transported with a range of weaponry including missile launchers. The Container City in Cholula, Mexico is an excellent example of how the old sea containers can be turned into galleries, restaurants, workshops - and homes!

Storage

Double-end doors containers, also referred to as Tunnel Containers, allow access to the stored items on both sides of a container. This makes it easy to load and unloading, as as full use of the storage space. This makes these units ideal as self-storage facilities providing access to both sides of the container, without having to remove items. This is especially useful for those who need to store more bulky, awkward or large objects like machinery or heavy equipment.

In addition to this the tunnel container design permits these units to be easily converted into offices or other secure storage spaces. Unlike open side shipping containers that must be completely empty to gain access to the contents, tunnel containers can simply be opened from either end and locked again. This makes them ideal for creating on-site offices, or even housing if required.

These shipping containers can also be used to store special equipment. Military units can make use of containers to transport expensive equipment to temporary locations, such as command and control centers or mobile operating theaters thereby eliminating the need to move these systems via road.

This method can be used to transport special industrial equipment like generators or turbines. This allows for the rapid deployment of critical infrastructure to areas where it is required, reducing time and costs associated with the installation of fixed infrastructure.

For those looking to ship something more hazardous like chemical or biological materials These units can be fitted with a specialized thermal insulation and a regulated temperature control system. This allows them to maintain an unalterable temperature and prevents any spoilage during transit.

These containers can also be outfitted with a removable tarp cover, providing extra flexibility for loading and unloading. This allows for heavy or bulky goods to be transported that otherwise would not fit in conventional shipping containers, like construction materials, timber, or large machinery. These containers can be fitted with lockboxes of high security that prevent access from the top.

Stuffing & De Stuffing

Logistics professionals use different terms to describe the way cargo is ready for transport and how it is moved through the supply chain. These terms cover container stuffing as well as de-stuffing. These terms refer to the method by which goods are taken out of or loaded into a shipping container. Understanding these concepts is important to the success of any company that utilizes shipping containers to store or distribute goods.

Stuffing a tunnel container is strategically placing freight to maximize space and meet the specific requirements of logistics. To avoid damage during transportation, loading and packing techniques that are specifically for the cargo must be used. This means placing the largest items on the bottom, and stacking lighter ones on top and utilizing the appropriate securing methods to prevent cargo from shifting in transit. Optimizing the container load helps reduce handling, shipping and labour costs and ensures compliance with regulations for safe transport.

When the container arrives at its destination, container de-stuffing or unloading is a crucial step in maintaining supply chain efficiency. This involves removing excess cargo from a container. It also involves a careful inspection for any signs of physical damage or water damage that could compromise cargo integrity. De-stuffing is only feasible if the logistics provider and shipper can communicate effectively and comply with all regulations.

For companies who require a secure and secure access point to their site, a renovated 40ft tunnel containers container is a cost-effective solution. They can be converted to a turnstile, or a manual entry checkpoint to prevent access to restricted areas within the facility. These containers are popular for temporary bridges as well as ticket entrances for big events.

They are ideal for both shipping and storing, as their double-ended doors allow access from either end. They're often utilised for self storage by businesses who need dual access to their stock. Portable Space can weld in steel bulkhead partitions to convert a 20ft tunnel containers tunnel container; Full Survey, into two separate 10ft storage compartments and is a lot less than purchasing new storage containers.

Security

Tunneling is a method to establish an instant connection between two points of an internet. It encapsulates packets using one routing protocol within other protocols, so that routers at either end of a tunnel can connect directly to each other.

This permits different applications to share an infrastructure. For example, a company can have tunnels for internal resources and the internet. This can help them keep a uniform security policy for their employees and customers. The company can protect sensitive data from being accessed by using tunnels.

Container cargo loads even though they're made of steel, are still susceptible to theft. Thieves have become quite sophisticated in their methods, and they can often take a container and break it into pieces by the removal of its hinges or doors. For this reason, it's important for companies to implement security measures to stop the theft of their containers.

One way to do this is to set up a lockbox on the doors. These are welded steel shrouds that fit around the lug on the door which holds the padlock. They make it very difficult to get into the padlock's area with bolt cutters. Companies can also add an alarm with high security that alerts the company if someone attempts to cut through the lockbox.

Installing a turnstile, or a manual entry checkpoint with secured access is another method to enhance security. This is particularly beneficial for events that have large crowds. It can help keep guests safe from wind and rain while security personnel can inspect the people as they enter the venue.
