Shipping Container Tunnel
Shipping container tunnels commonly referred to as double door containers, have standard double doors at both sides of the container, which effectively creates a tunnel once opened. This facilitates easy access, and greatly enhances the ease and convenience of loading and unloading freight.
Tunnel containers are available in a "one-trip" form that can be used for various storage or conversion projects. Many customers use them to create small stores to store their items in a secure manner by partitioning down the middle.
Easy Access
Tunnel shipping containers come with two double doors at each end, making it easier to access items stored than a container that has only one set of doors. Self-storage businesses love them because they can create different storage areas for different objects. For example boxes and tools can be stored in one section while furniture and machinery is stored in another.
Tunnel containers are also great for companies that require storage or transportation of large or bulky objects e.g. automobile dealerships, construction firms and manufacturing firms. Due to their dual entry points, tunnel containers can be loaded or unloaded faster than standard containers. This improves efficiency, lowers costs, and eliminates costly delays.
The dual access points also make tunnel containers incredibly convenient for loading and unloading large items that are too large to be accommodated in a single door e.g. furniture, heavy machinery and vehicles. They can easily accommodate fork lift ramps and hand dolly ramps which are extremely useful in busy work environments.
Since they are constructed of weatherproof steel tunnel containers can be utilized in a variety of outdoor settings. For instance our customers utilize tunnel containers to keep their staff and guests safe from wind and rain when security checks are conducted at large events like festivals and concerts. Two tunnel containers, placed between each other can keep dozens safe of the rain and wind while they wait to be scanned or checked-in.
Recently, we transformed two tunnel containers into an inviting gift shop for the railway heritage site. The shipping container tunnel was fitted out with double sockets and lighting for all year round use, using PIR insulation and heaters. The client was so pleased with the result that they purchased a second container to build a larger shop!
We have a range of brand new "one trip" tunnel containers available as well as converted second-hand ones. Please contact us if you are looking to purchase a tunnel container. We are able to discuss your possibilities with you.
Easy Storage
One of the most significant aspects of a shipping container tunnel is that it makes it simple to store cargo inside. Tunnel containers are much easier to store than conventional containers that require you to unload the entire box to get to the rear. This helps you manage inventory and also saves time when loading/unloading.
In addition, tunnel containers have standard double doors on both walls, making them ideal for storage of cargo. This feature helps keep pests from your storage, which is essential if you plan on storing dangerous chemicals or perishable items.
Tunnel containers are ideal for self-storage units due their dual entry points. A shipping container can be divided into two distinct storage areas of 10 feet by adding an internal partition. This is ideal for companies that require the ability to rotate their stock easily without having to unload from both ends. Many of our customers utilize tunnel containers to serve as "passages" during music festivals and events that allow them to funnel crowds into a specific area.
Ultimately, the flexibility of a shipping container tunnel is what makes it an efficient solution for wide range of applications. They can be used as portable warehouses, workshops, offices, and more. For storage their double-end access and weatherproof seals help to restrict movement within the container, minimizing the risk of damage.
Shipping containers are made from corrosion-resistant Corten steel, which means that they're able to handle harsh environments and frequent transport easily. They can also withstand strong winds and, if they're covered with a cover, will shield your belongings from dust, rain and snow.
The walls and roof of the tunnel for shipping containers are insulated to keep temperatures stable, while safeguarding your stored goods. This is especially crucial for perishable goods or chemicals that can be affected by extreme temperature fluctuations. Shipping containers also help keep dust and moisture out, which will increase the longevity of your stored items.
Easy Loading and Unloading
It is crucial to stack cargo vertically into a shipping tunnel, and then secure it with straps or load bars. This will ensure that when the containers are transported via rail or sea, the containers don't move and cause damage. It's also a good idea to place heavier items at the lower levels of containers and lighter items on the top. You should also keep flammable items out of other items as well as anything that might be affected by liquids, for example, chemicals.
The double doors at the two ends of tunnel containers permit easy access to items inside the container, where you might be unable to access them with the standard shipping container. Tunnel containers are great for storing inventory for both personal and commercial use. Many self-storage companies use tunnel containers as well. They split them in half to create two smaller stores and give them easy access on both sides.
Tunnel containers can be modified as easily as any other shipping container. This means that you can add windows and lighting, depending on your requirements. They can be transformed into retail, office or workshop spaces.
You should always do a thorough check prior to buying any storage solution. This includes checking that the container is in a clean and dry condition and free of any cracks, tears or holes. You should also look at the corner posts to make sure they're not damaged. Also, make sure that all locking mechanisms are functioning. You'll also want to ensure that the container has a valid CSC plate and is capable of being loaded for international transportation.

Easy Conversion
Tunnel shipping containers have double doors at both ends, giving them a tunnel-like appearance which allows for easy loading and access from either end. They are often used to store heavy equipment or warehouse storage as they can be able to accommodate large trucks and tractor. Container homes are also popular because they can be easily altered to include doors and windows and walls that divide the interior and outdoor spaces.
The unique characteristics of the shipping container tunnel make it a great alternative for creating a well created and unusual home. Depending on your budget, you can incorporate various additional features to create a custom and comfortable living space. You can transform your home from a traditional house into a unique and useful piece of art by adding features like windows, doors, terraces, plumbing, and electricity.
However, prior to building your home for your tunnel container it's important to understand that the process of converting and remodeling the inside of a shipping container isn't quite as simple as simply putting up some walls. There are many different steps involved that you should take into consideration, including hiring a construction expert who is specialized in the conversion of shipping containers.
The selection of the appropriate shipping container is an additional step, since it has to be the same dimensions as the other shipping container you're planning to connect. In the event of a mismatch, you could face structural problems if the containers aren't aligned properly. It is essential to choose containers that are in good shape because older containers are more prone to rust or other damage in transit and storage.
It's also worth considering what you'll use the tunnel shipping container for before buying it. For instance, if using it to build a warehouse, it could be best to get a high cube container that is large enough to hold plenty of room. This will provide you with more space to move around and store items, as well as making it easier to connect multiple shipping containers if required.
