Tunnel Container Uses

Tunnel containers are also known as double door shipping containers, they have the same dimensions as standard ISO container, but the distinction is that they open at both ends. This allows for quick access to the cargo and is beneficial if you use the container for storage or conversion project.

Transport

Tunnel containers can be used for a variety of different reasons. Dual entry points make it simple to access equipment and other materials at either end. This makes it easier to transport palletised items using forklifts, and it simplifies stock flow management. Tunnel containers are often used as temporary bridges at construction sites, and as ticket entrances for festivals and other events.

They also make ideal for self-storage. By building a steel bulkhead, a 20ft tunnel containers container tunnel can be divided into two 10ft units. This maximizes return on investment. Tunnel containers can be modified in a variety of ways. They can have side windows and lighting which makes them more practical for business.

Double doors at both ends of the container make it ideal for storage of large or bulky items. This is especially useful for warehouses, since it can be difficult to access large machines and vehicles in regular shipping containers. You can save lots of time by not having to constantly move the container.

Tunnel containers can be fitted with cooling and heating systems, allowing them to be used for temperature controlled storage of items such as food chemical, pharmaceuticals, chemicals and electronic equipment. They can also be equipped with ventilation to avoid condensation.

Like standard shipping containers, tunnel containers are available in both 20ft and 40ft sizes. They meet ISO shipping standards and CSC plated to be used for international freight. They can also be weatherproofed by adding insulation.

They can be transported on flat-bed trucks or chassis or mounted on a truck frame or tracks. They are also an excellent option for law enforcement equipment since they are able to be transported between bases and may prevent unwanted identification of expensive equipment like command and control centers or mobile operating theatres. They can be transported with a variety of weapons, including missile launchers. The Container City in Cholula, Mexico is an excellent example of how the old sea containers can be converted into galleries, restaurants, workshops - and homes!

Stores

Double end doors containers, also known as Tunnel Containers, allow access to the stored items on both sides of a container. This makes it easy to load and unloading as well as full use of the storage space. These units are ideal for self-storage facilities as they permit access to both sides without needing to take items off. This is especially useful for those who need to store massive, bulky or awkward items such as machinery and heavy equipment.

The tunnel container's design allows these containers to be converted into offices or safe storage spaces. Tunnel containers unlike open-sided shipping containers, can be opened from either side with the doors locked. They are perfect for creating offices on site and even housing, should it be required.

These containers can also be used to store special equipment. For example military units could make use of containers to transport expensive systems to temporary sites like command and control centers or mobile theatres of operation, eliminating the need for these costly equipments to be moved via road.

This method can also be used to ship special industrial equipment like generators or turbines. This enables rapid deployment of critical infrastructure in areas where it is needed and drastically reduces the time and cost associated with installing fixed infrastructure.

These units can be equipped with the ability to control temperature and an insulation for thermal purposes if you are shipping a dangerous cargo, such as biological or chemical substances. This permits the unit to keep the temperature at a lower level, thus preventing any spoilage.

These containers can also be outfitted with a removable tarp covering that allows for greater flexibility in loading and unloading. This allows heavy or bulky goods to be transported that might not fit in traditional shipping containers, such as construction materials, timber, or large machinery. To ensure security, these containers can also be equipped with a high-security lockbox that blocks entry from the top of the container.

Stuffing & De Stuffing

When it concerns storage and shipping, logistics professionals use various terms to describe how cargo is prepared for transport and moved through the supply chain. Container stuffing and destuffing are two terms that describe the process of loading or removing goods from a shipping container. Understanding these concepts is crucial to the success of any business that uses shipping containers for storage or distribution.

Stuffing a tunnel container requires strategically placing freight to maximize space and meet the specific requirements of logistics. Based on the nature of the cargo specific packing and loading methods are required to avoid damage during transportation. It is essential to place the bulkiest cargo on the bottom and place lighter items on top. Additionally, it is important to use appropriate measures of security to stop the cargo from shifting during transport. Optimizing the load in the container aids in reducing shipping and handling costs per unit, and also ensures that the container is in compliance with regulations for safe transportation.

Container de-stuffing, or unloading is a crucial step in maintaining the efficiency of your supply chain. This process involves removing any excess freight from a container and requires a careful examination for any signs of physical or water damage that could compromise the integrity of the cargo. Regulatory compliance and effective communication between the logistics service provider and shipper are key to a successful de-stuffing procedure.

Refurbished tunnel containers are a cost-effective option for businesses who need an efficient and secure access point to their site. These containers can be converted into a turnstile, or an entry point that can be manually controlled to restrict access to areas of the facility. These containers are also used as bridges for temporary use, and for use as ticket entrances for large-scale events.

While a tunnel container isn't the most commonly used type of shipping container, they're becoming increasingly popular in multimodal logistics applications. The double-end doors make them ideal for storage and shipping because they can be accessed from both ends. Self-storage is a popular option for organisations that need to have access to their inventory. Portable Space can weld steel bulkhead partitions to containers that are 20 feet long to create two separate 10ft storage compartments. This is less expensive than purchasing new storage containers.

Security

Tunneling is one method to set up an instant point-to-point connection over the network. It encapsulates packets that use one routing protocol within other protocols, meaning that routers at either end of the tunnel can then connect directly to one another.

This allows multiple applications to use the same infrastructure. A company, for example can build tunnels to connect its internal resources and the public internet. This will allow them to ensure that they have uniform security policies for their employees and customers. The company can also protect sensitive data from being accessed through tunnels.

Container cargo loads, even though they are made of steel, remain vulnerable to theft. The methods of thieves have changed and they're capable of breaking into steel containers by taking the hinges or doors off. Therefore, it is essential that businesses take steps to ensure that their containers are not stolen.

Installing a lockbox onto the door is a way to accomplish this. They are steel shrouds that are welded that fit over the lug on the container door which holds the padlock. They make it very difficult to reach the padlock's location with bolt cutters. In addition, companies can put in an alarm with a high security level that will alert them when someone tries to cut the lockbox.

Another method to increase the security of tunnel containers is to put in a turnstile or a manual secure entry checkpoint. This is especially useful for events where people are entering in large numbers. This can be used to shield guests from the rain and wind, while allowing security to conduct checks at the event.

Shipping containers come in various sizes and configurations and therefore, businesses can choose the right one to meet their requirements. Some are designed to accommodate heavy items, such as vehicles and other machinery. Some containers have doors on both ends to allow loading and unloading to be made easier. There are refrigerated containers that can be used to transport fresh food.
