Tunnel Container Uses

Tunnel containers are also known as double door shipping containers, they have the same dimensions as a standard ISO container, but the difference is that they open at both ends. This allows access to cargo easily and is an excellent feature if you intend to use containers to store or convert projects.

Transport

A tunnel container can be used for many different purposes. Dual entry points make it easy to access equipment and materials at either end. This makes it simpler to transport palletised loads with a forklift and simplifying the management of stock flow. Tunnel containers are typically used as temporary bridges on construction sites, and also as ticket entrances for events such as festivals.

They are also an excellent solution for self-storage. By installing the bulkhead partition made of steel the 20ft tunnel container could be converted into two 10ft units, maximising return on investment. Tunnel containers can be modified in many ways, to include lighting for the interior, and side windows, making them even more practical for companies.

The double doors on both ends of the container make it perfect for storing large or bulky items. This is particularly beneficial in warehouses, as it can be difficult to get large machinery and vehicles into the standard shipping containers. It will save you a huge amount of time since you don't have to continually shift the container and allow you to continue moving merchandise throughout the day.

Tunnel containers can be fitted with cooling and heating units which allow them to be used as temperature-controlled storage containers for items like pharmaceuticals, food, and chemicals. They can also be equipped with ventilation systems to avoid condensation of the merchandise.

Like normal shipping containers, tunnel containers are available in 20ft and 40ft sizes. They meet ISO shipping standards as well as being CSC plating for international freight usage and can be made weatherproof with the addition of insulation.

They can be positioned on truck frames or tracks or transported on flat-bed or chassis trucks. They are also an excellent option for military or law enforcement equipment as they can be easily moved between bases and can prevent unwanted identification of expensive equipment, such as command and control centers or mobile operating theatres. They can even be shipped with a range of weaponry including missile launchers. Container City in Cholula is a great example of how an old sea container can be transformed into workshops, restaurants, galleries, and even homes!

Storage

Double-end doors containers, also known as Tunnel Containers, allow access to the items stored on both sides of a container. This makes it easier to gain access for loading/unloading and allows full use of the storage space. These units are ideal for self-storage facilities since they permit access to both sides without having to take items off. This is particularly useful for those who store large, bulky or awkward items like machinery and heavy equipment.

The 20 ft tunnel container container design allows for these units to be converted into offices or safe storage spaces. Tunnel containers unlike open-sided shipping containers, can be opened from both ends and locked at the other end. This makes them ideal for creating on-site offices, or even housing for when needed.

These shipping containers can be used to store specialised items. Military units can make use of them to transport expensive systems to temporary locations like command and controls centres or mobile operating theatres, which eliminates the need to move these systems by vehicle.

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 required significantly reducing the time and cost associated with installing fixed infrastructure.

These units are able to be fitted with a temperature control system and thermal insulation in the event that you are shipping a dangerous cargo such as biological or chemical substances. This allows the unit to maintain a low temperature, preventing any spoilage.

These units are also available with a tarp cover that can be removed that allows for greater flexibility in loading and unloading. This permits large or heavy items that aren't able to fit into standard shipping containers to be transported, such as huge machinery, timber, construction materials or other heavy items. To ensure security, these containers may also be equipped with a lockbox of high security which prevents entry from the top of the container.

Stuffing & De Stuffing

Logistics professionals use various terms to describe how cargo is prepared for transport and moved through the supply chain. These terms cover container stuffing as well as de-stuffing, which are the process by which goods are loaded into or removed from the shipping container. Understanding these concepts is essential to the success of any business which uses shipping containers to store or distribute goods.

Stuffing a container tunnel requires strategically placing freight in order to maximize space and meet specific logistical needs. Depending on the nature the cargo specific packing techniques and loading methods are required to avoid damage during transport. This includes placing heaviest items on the bottom, and stacking lighter ones on top, and using appropriate securing methods to prevent the cargo from moving during transit. Optimizing the load in the container can help reduce shipping, handling and labour costs and ensures compliance with regulations to ensure safe transportation.

When the container arrives at its destination the container is unloaded or de-stuffing is an essential step in maintaining the efficiency of the supply chain. This involves removing excess freight from a container. It also requires careful inspection for any signs of physical damage or water damage that could affect cargo integrity. De-stuffing is only possible if the logistics provider and the shipper are in constant communication and abide by all regulations.

Refurbished tunnel containers are a cost-effective solution for businesses that require an efficient and secure access point to their premises. These containers can be transformed into a turnstile, or an entry checkpoint that is manually operated to block access to restricted areas within the facility. These containers are used for temporary bridges and as ticket entrances for big events.

Tunnel containers aren't the most popular kind of shipping container, but they're becoming more popular for multimodal logistics. The double doors are ideal for shipping and storage because they are accessible from both ends. Self-storage is an option for companies that want to have access to their inventory. Portable Space can weld steel bulkhead partitions to the 20 ft tunnel container-foot container to create two separate 10ft storage compartments. This is less expensive than purchasing new storage containers.

Security

Tunneling is a method used to establish an instant connection between two points on the network. It encapsulates the packets using a single routing protocol within other protocols so that routers at either end of a tunnel can connect directly to one another.

This allows multiple applications to share the same infrastructure. A company, for instance can create tunnels to connect its internal resources to the public internet. This will allow them to have consistent security policies for all employees and customers. The company can also protect sensitive data from being accessed through tunnels.

Despite being made from steel, containers are still susceptible to theft. The methods of thieves have improved and they're now able to break into a steel container by cutting off the hinges or doors. It is therefore essential that businesses take the necessary steps to prevent their containers being taken.

Installing a lockbox on the door is one way to achieve this. They are welded steel shrouds that fit over the lug on the door which holds the padlock. They make it difficult to get into the padlock's location with bolt cutters. In addition, companies can install an alarm with a high security level that will alert them if someone tries to cut the lockbox.

Installing the turnstile, or manual entry checkpoint with secure access, is a different method to enhance security. This is particularly helpful in events where people are arriving in large numbers. It is a great way to keep guests out of the wind and rain while security personnel can check people's entry into the venue.

Shipping containers are available in a variety of dimensions and conditions. This lets businesses find the container that best fits their needs. Some are designed to accommodate large items like vehicles and machinery. Some containers come with doors on both ends to make loading and unloading easier. There are refrigerated containers that can be used to transport fresh food.
