Shipping Container Tunnel

Shipping container tunnels, also referred to as double-end doors, are the standard double-doors at both ends of containers. When opened they form tunnels. This makes it easy to access and greatly improves the convenience of loading and unloading cargo.

Tunnel containers are available in a new "one trip" condition and are suitable for a wide variety of conversion and storage projects. They are used by numerous clients to create small safe storage spaces, simply by splitting the middle.

Easy Access

Tunnel shipping containers have two double doors on each side, making it easier to access items stored than containers with just one set of doors. This makes them incredibly popular with self storage businesses who use them to create separate storage areas for various kinds of items, for instance, boxes and tools in one section and furniture or machinery in the other.

Tunnel containers are also suitable for businesses who require storage or transport of large or bulky objects e.g. Construction firms, car dealerships and manufacturing companies. The dual entry points of tunnel containers mean that the contents of a tunnel container can be unloaded and loaded in a shorter time than the standard container. This increases productivity, reduces costs and avoids costly delays.

The dual access points also make tunnel containers incredibly convenient for loading and unloading large objects that are too large to fit through a single door e.g. furniture, heavy machinery and vehicles. They can accommodate forklift ramps and hand dollys which are extremely useful when working in a crowded setting.

Tunnel containers are weatherproof and can be used outdoors in a variety of different places. For example many of our clients employ tunnel containers to keep their employees and guests safe from rain and wind when security checks are conducted at large events like festivals and concerts. Two tunnel containers placed end-to-end will keep a multitude of people out of the elements whilst they wait to be scanned or checked for entry.

Recently, we renovated two tunnel containers into a cozy gift shop to a railway heritage site. Using PIR insulation and heaters the shipping container tunnel was fitted with lighting and double sockets for all-year-round use. The customers were so thrilled by the results that they've since ordered another container from us to create an even larger and more attractive shop!

We have a range of brand new "one-trip" tunnel containers as well as second-hand conversion ones in stock. If you're interested in buying a tunnel container, please get in touch and we'll talk you through the options.

Easy Storage

The ability to store cargo in the shipping container is among the most important features of a tunnel. Unlike a standard container, which requires you to take it off everything to access the rear end tunnel containers permit the possibility of opening either end of the box for storage. This helps you manage inventory and also saves time when loading or unloading.

Tunnel containers have standard double doors on both walls, which makes them ideal for storage for cargo. This feature also helps to keep bugs out of your storage, which is extremely important when you are planning to store perishable goods or hazardous chemicals.

Tunnel containers are ideal for self-storage units due their dual entry points. Simply putting an internal partition through the middle of a shipping container can create two separate storage spaces of 10 feet, which is perfect for businesses that want to rotate their inventory without having to unload everything from both ends. Tunnel containers are also used by a lot of our customers as 'passages' during festivals and music events, helping to funnel crowds through a particular gap or area.

Ultimately, the versatility of a shipping container tunnel is what makes it an efficient solution for a broad range of applications. They can be converted into portable offices, workshops, warehouses and much more. Storage is made easy through the double-end access and weatherproof seals as well as the ability to store the container.

Shipping containers are made from corrosion-resistant Corten Steel that is able to be used in harsh environments as well as frequent transport. They can also withstand high winds, and when protected, they'll protect your possessions from snow, rain and dust.

The walls and roof of the tunnels for shipping containers aid in protecting your stored goods, as well as keeping temperatures steady. This is especially important for perishable goods or chemicals that could be affected adversely by extremes of temperature. Shipping containers can keep moisture and dust out, which can significantly improve the lifespan of the stored items.

Easy Loading and Unloading

When loading cargo into the tunnels of shipping containers, it's important to stack items vertically when possible and secure them by using straps or load bars. It is crucial to stack the containers vertically to ensure that they don't move and cause damage when the containers are transported via rail or sea. It's also a good idea to put heavier items at the bottom of the container and lighter ones on the top. You should also keep flammable items from other items and anything that might be contaminated by liquids, for instance, chemicals.

Double doors at the ends of a container tunnel allows easier access to items that are located in the middle, which an ordinary shipping container could be difficult to access. Tunnel containers are ideal for storing both personal and business inventory. Many self-storage companies utilize them as well. They break them into half to create two smaller stores and provide easy access on both sides.

Tunnel containers can be modified just as easily as any other shipping container. You can also include windows and lighting according to what you require. They can also be transformed into offices, workshops or retail spaces.

If you're in the market for a shipping container tunnel or any other storage solution, you'll need to conduct a thorough inspection prior to making a purchase. It is also important to ensure that the container is dry and clean and free of tears, holes or scratched. Also, you should inspect the corner posts to make sure they're not damaged, and also ensure that the locking mechanisms are in good working order. It is also important to ensure that the container is equipped with an active CSC plate and is able to be loaded for international transportation.

However, before you start building your home for your tunnel container it is important to keep in mind that the conversion and remodeling of an existing shipping container isn't as easy as putting up some walls. There are a variety of different steps that you should take into consideration for example, hiring a professional in construction who specialises in the conversion of shipping containers.

Choosing the right shipping container is a crucial step, since it has to be the same size as the other shipping container you're planning to connect. Otherwise, there could be structural issues in the event that the containers aren't aligned properly. It's also crucial to select a container that's in good condition, since older containers are more prone to corrosion and other damages during storage and transport.

Before you purchase a tunnel shipping container, it is important to be aware of what you intend to use it for. For example, if you're using it to create a warehouse, it may be best to get a large cube container with plenty of extra room. This will allow you plenty of space to store items and move them around. It will also make it easier to join several shipping containers together in the event of need.
