Shipping Container Tunnel

Shipping container tunnels, also referred to as double-end doors, are typical double doors on both sides of a container. When they are opened they create a tunnel. This makes it easy to access, and greatly enhances the ease and convenience of loading and unloading freight.

Tunnel containers are now available in a "one trip" condition and can be used for a range of storage and conversion projects. Many clients use tunnel containers to build small stores for secure storage - simply by partitioning down the middle.

Easy Access

With a pair of standard double doors at both ends tunnel shipping containers provide much easier access to stored items than a standard container with just one set of doors. Self-storage businesses love them because they can make different storage spaces for various items. For instance boxes and tools can be kept in one area while furniture and other equipment is stored in another.

Tunnel containers are also great for businesses that require storage or transportation of large or bulky items e.g. automobile dealerships, construction firms and manufacturing companies. The dual entry points of tunnel containers ensure that the contents of a tunnel container may be unloaded and loaded in less time than the typical container. This can help increase productivity, reduce costs and prevent costly delays.

The dual access points also make 40 ft tunnel containers containers extremely convenient for loading and unloading large items that are too large to fit through a single entrance e.g. Furniture, heavy machinery and cars. They can easily accommodate fork lift ramps and hand dolly ramps which are extremely useful in busy work environments.

Because they are made from weatherproof steel, tunnel containers can be used in a variety of outdoor locations. For example many of our clients employ tunnel containers to keep their staff and guests safe from rain and wind when security checks are conducted at large events like concerts and festivals. Two tunnel containers laid end to end can keep dozens of people from the elements while they wait to be scanned or checked in.

We've also recently provided and converted a pair tunnel containers to an historic railway site that wanted to set up a cozy gift shop. Using PIR insulation and heaters the shipping container tunnel was fitted with lighting and double sockets for all-year-round use. The customer was so thrilled with the result that they ordered a second container to create a bigger shop!

We have a variety of new 'one trip' tunnel containers available, as well as second-hand ones that have been converted. If you're interested in purchasing tunnel containers and would like to discuss the possibility, contact us and we'll be able to guide you through the options.

Easy Storage

One of the most significant advantages of a shipping container tunnel is that it makes it easy to store your cargo inside. Contrary to a standard container which requires you to take it off everything to gain access to the rear end, tunnel containers allow you to open up each end of the container for storage. This helps you manage inventory and reduces time when loading and unloading.

In addition, tunnel containers have standard double doors on both walls, which makes them ideal for storage of cargo. This feature also helps to keep insects out of your storage, which is essential if you plan on storing perishable goods or hazardous chemicals.

Due to their dual entry points, tunnel containers are also ideal for converting into self storage units. A shipping container can be divided into two separate storage areas of 10 feet by creating an internal partition. This is ideal for businesses that require the ability to rotate their stock quickly without having to remove it from both ends. Tunnel containers are also used by many of our customers as 'passages' at festivals and music events which help to direct crowds through a particular gap or area.

The versatility of a shipping container tunnel is what makes it efficient in a variety applications. They can be converted into portable warehouses, workshops, offices, and more. Storage is made easier by 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 handle extreme environments and frequent transport. They also can withstand strong winds and, if covered, will protect your items from rain, dust and snow.

The walls and the roof of the tunnel used for shipping are insulated to help keep temperatures steady, while also protecting the stored items. This is particularly important for perishable goods or chemicals that can be negatively affected by extremes of temperature. Shipping containers can also keep moisture and dust out, which can increase the longevity of your stored items.

Easy Loading and Unloading

It is important to stack cargo vertically in the shipping tunnel and secure it with straps or load bars. It is important to stack the containers vertically so they do not move and cause damage when the containers are moved by railway or sea. It's also a good idea to put heavier items at lower levels of containers and lighter items on the top. Keep flammables out of other items, and any items that could be contaminated by liquids.

The double doors at both ends of tunnel containers allow easy access to items inside the container, which is where you might be unable to access them with a standard shipping container. This makes tunnel containers ideal to store inventory for both personal and commercial use. Many self-storage companies use tunnel containers, check out this one from Hikvisiondb, as well. They split them in half to create two smaller stores, and allow them an easy access on both sides.

In addition to the dual door access of tunnel containers, they can be modified just as easily as any other type of shipping container. This means you can include windows, lighting, and even windows according to your requirements. They can also be transformed into workshops, offices or retail spaces.

It is recommended to conduct a thorough inspection before purchasing any storage product. This includes ensuring that the container is in good and dry condition and free of any holes, tears or scratches. Check the corner posts for damage and make sure all locking mechanisms are in good shape. You'll also want to ensure that the container has an appropriate CSC plate and is able to be loaded for international transportation.

Depending on your budget, you can include various other options to create a unique and comfortable living space.

Before you begin building your home in a tunnel container it is essential to remember that the process of renovating and conversion of a shipping container requires more than just putting up walls. There are many different steps that you should consider such as hiring a professional in construction who specialises in shipping container conversions.

The container you choose for shipping must be the same size as any other shipping container that you intend to connect. In the event of a mismatch, you could face structural problems when the containers aren't lined up properly. It's also important to choose containers that are in good condition, since older containers can be vulnerable to rust and other damage during transit and storage.

It's also worth considering what you're going to use the tunnel shipping container for prior to buying it. For instance, if planning to use it to build a warehouse, it may be better to choose a high cube container with plenty of room. This will provide you with more room to move around and store things in addition to making it easier to connect multiple shipping containers together if necessary.
