Shipping Container Tunnel

Shipping container tunnels, also called double-end doors, have typical double doors on both sides of containers. When they are opened they create tunnels. This makes it easy to access and greatly enhances the convenience of loading and unloading cargo.

Tunnel containers are available in new "one-trip" condition and can be used to complete a variety of storage and conversion projects. Many clients use them to create small stores for safe storage by dividing the space.

Easy Access

With two standard double doors at both ends, tunnel shipping containers offer the most convenient access to items stored than a standard container with one set of doors. This makes them extremely popular with self storage businesses who utilize them to create distinct storage areas for different kinds of objects - for instance boxes and tools in one area and furniture or machines in the other.

Tunnel containers are also suitable for businesses that need to store or transport large or bulky objects e.g. automobile dealerships, construction firms and manufacturing firms. Their dual entry points ensure that the contents of a tunnel container can be unloaded and loaded in a shorter time than a standard container. This improves productivity, decreases costs and avoids costly delays.

The dual access points make tunnel containers incredibly convenient for loading and unloading large objects that are too large to fit through a single entrance e.g. furniture, heavy machinery, and vehicles. They can easily accommodate fork lift ramps as well as hand dolly ramps which are very useful in busy work environments.

Tunnel containers are weatherproof and can be used outdoors in a variety of different locations. For instance, many of our customers use them to keep their staff and guests safe from rain and wind during security checks at big events like festivals and concerts. Two tunnel containers placed end-to-end can keep dozens out of the wind and rain while they wait for their turn to be checked in or scanned.

Recently, we converted two tunnel containers into an inviting gift shop for the railway heritage site. Using PIR insulation and heaters, the shipping container tunnel was equipped with lighting and double sockets for year-round use. The customers were so pleased by the results that they have since ordered another container from us to make an even larger and more attractive shop!

Shipping containers can keep moisture and dust out as well which can significantly increase the lifespan of the stored items.
