Tunnel Containers - How to Load a Shipping Container

Shipping containers with double doors at both ends, rather than just one are known as tunnel containers. They are available as brand new containers for a single trip or converted secondhand storage containers.

Ease of Loading & Unloading

A well-organised approach makes the difference when it comes time to load a shipping containers. It will help protect items from damage and maximize space. Containers can be loaded in various ways, depending on what you're storing or shipping. For instance, you could stack boxes vertically to maximize their height, however it is essential to secure them in place with load securing materials such as tie-down straps, or bracing plywood. Depending on the kind of container, it can also be useful to fill any empty spaces with dunnage bags or inflatable airbags to prevent movement during transit.

If you're packing your items for international shipping or for a cross-country move a good organisation will ensure that your items arrive in good condition and on time.

Examine for signs of wear and tear, such as corrosion on the chassis, as well as damage to the door and handles. Be sure that the doors can open and close easily, and are securely secured. Also, you should check the interior for moisture or water damage that could affect your cargo.

Accessibility

Storage

Double doors at each end provide easy access to both sides of the container, which is particularly useful when it comes to storing bulky or large items like furniture.

Shipping tunnels for containers are offered in both brand new 'one trip condition and in recycled second-hand containers. They are typically constructed from a standard container, with the solid end being removed and two doors that are welded to each end (as opposed to a single end).

They are also popular with military personnel because they are able to be quickly moved to temporary sites such as bases or practice areas. They can be modified by adding additional features, like theatres or control rooms for specialized equipment and facilities.

It's a fun and creative method of recycling old steel, while also providing a valuable resource for the local community.
