Tunnel Container Uses

Tunnel containers are also referred to as double door shipping container tunnel containers. They have the same dimensions as standard ISO container, but the different is that they are opened at both ends. This feature gives easy access to the cargo, and is helpful when you are using the container for storage or conversion project.

Transport

A tunnel container can be used for a variety of different uses. Dual entry points make it simple to access equipment and materials at either end. This makes it simpler to transport palletised loads with forklifts and also simplifying the management of stock flow. Tunnel containers are often 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 an iron bulkhead partition the 20ft tunnel container could be converted into two 10ft units, maximizing ROI. Tunnel containers can be customized in a variety of ways. They can have internal lighting and side windows, making them more convenient for business.

Double doors at both ends of the container are ideal for storage of large or bulky items. This is especially useful in warehouses, as it is difficult to access large machines and vehicles inside standard shipping containers. It will save you a huge amount of time when you don't need to constantly reposition the container, allowing you to keep moving goods throughout the day.

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

Tunnel containers are available in 20ft and 40ft tunnel container sizes, the same as regular shipping containers. They meet ISO shipping standards and CSC plating to be used for international freight. They can also be weatherproofed by adding insulation.

They can be affixed to tracks or frames for trucks, or transported on flat-bed or chassis trucks. They're also a great option for law enforcement equipment since they are able to be transported between bases and may hinder the identification of high value equipment such as command and control centers or mobile operating theatres. They can be shipped with different weapons, including missile launchers. The Container City in Cholula, Mexico is an excellent illustration of how old sea containers can be transformed into restaurants, galleries and workshops - as well as homes!

Storage

Double-end doors containers, also known as tunnel shipping container Containers, allow access to the storage items at both sides of a container. This makes it easier to gain access for loading/unloading and allows full use of storage space. This makes these containers ideal as self storage facilities, giving access to both sides of the container without needing to take items off. This is especially beneficial for those who must store large, bulky or awkward objects like machinery and heavy equipment.

The tunnel container design allows these containers to be converted into offices or safe storage spaces. Tunnel containers unlike open side shipping containers are able to be opened from either side with the doors locked. They are great for constructing offices on site and even housing, if required.

The containers can also be used to store special equipment. For example, military units may use containers to transport expensive equipment to temporary locations such as command and control centres or mobile operating theatres eliminating the need for these costly systems to be moved via road.

Additionally, industrial equipment like turbines and generators can be transported in this manner as well. This allows for the rapid deployment of critical infrastructure to areas where it is required in order to reduce the time and cost associated with installing fixed infrastructure.

If you are looking to ship a more dangerous cargo, such as chemical or biological materials they are equipped with specialized thermal insulation and a controlled temperature control system. This allows the unit to maintain a low temperature, preventing any loss of food.

These units are able to be fitted with tarp covers that can be removed, which provide extra flexibility when loading and unloading. This allows tall or bulky items that wouldn't fit into the standard shipping containers to be transported, like huge machinery or construction materials, such as timber or other heavy items. These containers can be outfitted with lockboxes of high security that prevent entry from above.

Stuffing & De Stuffing

When it concerns storage and shipping, logistics professionals use a variety of terms to describe the ways cargo is readied for transport and moved through a supply chain. These terms refer to container stuffing and de-stuffing, which refer to the process through which goods are loaded into or removed from a shipping container. Understanding these concepts is essential to the success of any company that uses shipping containers for storage or distribution.

Stuffing a tunnel container involves strategically placing the cargo to maximize space and meet the specific requirements of logistics. Based on the nature of the cargo, specific packing techniques and loading methods are required to avoid damage during transit. This means placing the largest items on the bottom, putting lighter ones on top and utilizing the appropriate securing techniques to stop cargo from shifting in transit. Optimising the container load also helps reduce shipping container tunnel and handling costs per unit and ensures that the container is in compliance with regulations to ensure safe transport.

Upon arrival at the destination the process of unloading or de-stuffing the container is a vital step to maintaining the efficiency of the supply chain. This process removes excess freight from a shipping container and requires careful inspection to detect indications of water damage or other physical damage that could threaten the integrity of the cargo. Regulatory compliance and effective communication between the logistics provider and the shipper are essential to a successful de-stuffing process.

Refurbished tunnel containers are an affordable solution for businesses that require an unsecure and secure entry point to their site. These containers can be converted to a turnstile or an entry point that can be manually controlled to restrict access to areas in the facility. These containers are used for temporary bridges and as ticket entry points for large events.

Tunnel containers aren't the most sought-after type of shipping container but they are gaining popularity for multimodal logistics. They're ideal for storage and shipping, because their double-ended doors allow access from either end. They are often used for self storage by organisations who require dual access to their inventory. Portable Space can weld in steel bulkhead partitions to convert an 20ft tunnel container into two storage compartments that measure 10ft each, which is much cheaper than buying new storage containers.

Security

Tunneling is a way to establish an immediate connection between two points of the network. It encapsulates the packets using a single routing protocol that is integrated into other protocols so that routers at both ends of a tunnel can connect directly to each other.

This allows multiple applications to share the same infrastructure. A company, for example can build tunnels to connect its internal resources to the internet. This will allow them to have uniform security policies for all employees and customers. With the use of tunnels, a company can also shield sensitive information from being accessed by the public network.

Despite being constructed of steel, container cargo loads are still susceptible to theft. Thieves have become sophisticated in their techniques and can take a container tunnel and break it into pieces by the removal of its hinges or doors. Therefore, it is essential that businesses take the necessary steps to prevent their containers being taken.

One method to accomplish this is to put a lockbox on the doors. These are welded steel shrouds that fit around the lug which secures the padlock on the doors of the container, and they make it very difficult to access the padlock area using bolt cutters. The company can also include an alarm with high security that will notify the company if someone attempts to cut through the lockbox.

Installing turnstiles, or a manual entry checkpoint with secure access, is another way to increase security. This is particularly beneficial for events with large crowds. This is a great way to shield guests from the wind and rain and allow security personnel to conduct security checks at the event.

Shipping containers are available in a variety of sizes and conditions, so businesses can find the right one to meet their needs. Some are designed to accommodate bulky items such as vehicles and equipment. Some are equipped with doors on both sides which make them easier to load and unload. There are refrigerated containers that can be used to transport fresh food items.
