Tunnel Containers

As the name suggests the most important feature of a tunnel containers is the dual-door design at the opposite end of the container. This significantly improves accessibility, making them ideal for storage and goods handling.

They can also be converted into self-storage units by incorporating the partition. We have helped clients utilize them to store plant machinery and secure access to the site with turnstiles.

Dual Access

A tunnel container is a modified version of standard shipping containers with double doors at both ends. Known as a 'double end door container' or a 'tunnel container' these containers provide access to stored items from both ends.

The dual-end access permits cargo to be loaded and unloaded from either side of the container. This is ideal if you're transporting bulkier or larger items that otherwise would need to be backed in and out of the container. Double-end access eliminates the requirement to empty the entire container in order to reach goods buried deep inside, which saves time and reducing the risk of damage.

This innovative feature makes tunnel containers versatile and flexible. They can be used for a diverse range of storage and transport needs, including being converted into living spaces or mobile offices. They're also made of rugged and corrosion-resistant Corten steel, these containers are able to endure even the harshest weather conditions.

If you're looking for security we can weld steel bulkheads onto one of the long sides, resulting in two storage compartments with a total of 10ft. This makes them ideal for self-storage businesses that wish to enhance security by segregating their customer's items into individual areas. Our double-end door containers are also popular for use as ticket entrances at large events because they are able to easily accommodate crowds of people while keeping them dry.

Our new 20ft tunnel containers double-door tunnel containers are fitted with fork pockets that are suitable for large industrial forklifts which means they can be easily stacked and lifted from the corners of both sides. We've also installed PIR insulation and heaters to these units which makes them suitable for storage throughout the year.

We can manufacture tunnel containers in custom sizes to meet your precise requirements if you require an even more customized solution. We can produce containers in single- or double-sided designs, and different lengths. However a custom-sized tunnel container will be more expensive than an ordinary shipping container, so we suggest selecting the one that is closest to your needs.

Temperature-Sensitive Goods

Most dangerous goods like explosives, flammable liquids, and organic peroxides, require storage at the right temperature. Temperature fluctuations can cause many problems, including a explosion 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 often be difficult to detect, especially during the busy hours of a day. Container terminals need a system to keep track of the temperature of all reefer containers at their facility. This allows staff to react quickly to any abnormalities and prevent any risks.

Tunnel containers are a practical option when it comes to transporting and storing temperature-sensitive goods. Double doors are located at both ends of the container which makes it easier to load and unload during transport and storage. They can also be used to store bulky objects like machinery and vehicles.

These modified containers are made from regular shipping containers that measure 20ft or fortyft. The solid end is removed, and a set of double doors is then welded to provide two-way access.

Some container terminals also convert their tunnel shipping containers to function as a secure site entrance with a turnstile, or a manually-operated security checkpoints as visitors pass through. Although these conversions aren't readily available in standard sizes however, they can be made to meet the specific needs of the customer and are highly cost effective compared to constructing an entire facility from scratch. 40ft tunnel container containers are usually only available in a 'new one-trip' type.
