Tunnel Containers

As the name implies the most important feature of a tunnel container is the dual-door design on each side of the container. This greatly improves access and makes them ideal for handling and storage of items.

You can also turn them into self-storage units with the addition of a partition. We have assisted customers to make use of them to store plant machinery and secure site access with turnstiles.

Dual Access

Tunnel containers are modified version of standard shipping container tunnel containers with double doors at both ends. Known as a 'double end door container' or 'tunnel container' these containers let you access stored items from both ends.

The dual-end access allows cargo to be loaded and unloaded from either side of the container. This is ideal for transporting bulkier or larger items which would otherwise have to be backed into and out of the container. Double-end access removes the need to empty the entire container in order to reach goods buried deep inside, which saves time and reducing the risk of damage.

This unique feature is what makes tunnel containers so versatile and flexible. They can be used to fulfill various transportation and storage needs, as well as being transformed into mobile offices or living spaces. And because they're made from robust and corrosion-resistant Corten steel, these containers are able to endure even the harshest weather conditions.

If you are looking for security we can weld steel bulkheads onto one of the long sides, resulting in two storage compartments that measure 10ft. This makes them ideal for self storage businesses who are looking to improve security by segregating their customer's items into individual areas. Our double-end door containers are a favorite at large events as ticket entrances, as they can accommodate long lines of people and keep them dry.

Our 20ft tunnel containers double door tunnel containers feature fork pockets that are suitable for industrial forklifts. This means they are able to be stackable or lifted at the corners of each long side. These units are also equipped with heaters and PIR insulation which makes them ideal for year-round storage.

We can make tunnel containers in custom sizes to meet your exact specifications if you require an even more customized solution. We can produce containers in single- and double-sided variants and in a variety of lengths. Custom-sized tunnel containers are more expensive than standard shipping containers, so we suggest choosing the smallest size that meets your needs.

Temperature-Sensitive Goods

Most dangerous goods, such as explosives, flammable liquids and organic peroxides require storage at optimal temperatures. Temperature fluctuations can cause many problems, such as fire and toxic fumes. When storing temperature-sensitive hazardous goods, it's essential that container terminal facilities are equipped with the appropriate monitoring equipment to track and identify any anomalies or deviations from set temperatures.

Sometimes, these fluctuations can be difficult to detect, particularly during a hectic workday. This is why it's crucial that container terminals use an instrument that provides real-time temperature monitoring of all reefer containers inside their facility. This allows staff to react quickly to any abnormalities, preventing any potential risks.

Tunnel containers are a practical option when it comes to transporting and storing temperature-sensitive goods. Double doors are found at both ends of the container making it easier to load and unload during transport and storage. They can also be used to store bulky objects like vehicles and machinery.

The modified containers are typically constructed from the standard 20 or 40 foot shipping container. The solid end is taken away and a new set of double doors is welded into place, resulting in two-way access. These modified containers are often employed on construction locations where heavy machinery needs to be passed over and under.

Some container terminals transform their tunnel shipping containers into secure site entrances by installing a turnstile when the users enter. These conversions, not available in standard sizes, can be modified to meet the specific needs. They are also more affordable than building a complete facility. Tunnel containers are generally only available in a "new one trip' condition. This is due to the fact that their owners construct them to meet a specific need and then retain them. They are highly sought-after by those who wish to expand their business or warehouse without the need to purchase brand new refrigeration facilities. They are also a very economical solution for those who want to store temperature-sensitive goods over long periods of time, or for transporting large volumes of cargo over long distances.

Convenient Storage

tunnel containers for sale containers are the ideal container to store your cargo. The containers are double doors on both ends of the container, in contrast to conventional dry storage containers, which have doors on one side.

In addition to allowing easy access for your workers, a tunnel container is a great solution for a workshop or garage as it permits you to easily reach all areas of your workspace without the need to move anything around. Dual doors at either end allow you to swiftly access and exit your storage container if needed.

One-trip tunnel containers can be constructed from scratch using two sets of double doors or modified from a standard shipping container. In the second case the solid end is removed from the container and a pair of double doors is attached to each end.

Shipping containers like these are typically only available in new in a 'one-trip condition' because the owners have constructed them specifically for a certain reason and don't want them to be sold. However, you can still purchase refurbished tunnel containers from a few companies who offer this specialised container type. These renovated containers have been tested to ensure that they are safe for transportation and are sold with an extended warranty for additional security.

Easy Transportation

The double cargo doors at both ends of tunnel containers makes it easy to unload and load items from either end. This makes them ideal for the transportation of all kinds of bulk and general cargo, as well as special items such as motorbikes or cars. These containers are also used as makeshift tunnels at construction sites due their safety, durability and the ease of alteration.

Shipping containers with double doors are also ideal for storage. Having access to both sides of the container eliminates the necessity to completely empty the goods or take a portion of the container to access the items stored in the back, which could save time and money. Furthermore, the doors at both sides can be locked to stop any unauthorized access.

Side open containers have doors that are set on the sides of the container making them ideal for storing smaller goods. A refrigerated ISO container, or reefer, has a regulated temperature and can be used to store temperature-sensitive goods.

The containers are available in new and refurbished options in sizes of 20 and 40 ft tunnel container feet, with doors on both ends to make loading easy. They can also be custom sized to suit your unique needs, but it will cost more than the standard double-end door container.
