Shipping Container Tunnel
Shipping container tunnels, also referred to as double-end doors, have standard double-doors on both ends of the container. When they are opened, they create tunnels. This makes it easy to access, and greatly improves the ease and convenience of loading and unloading freight.
Tunnel containers are available in a new "one-trip" condition and are suitable for a wide variety 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
Tunnel shipping containers have two double doors on each end making it much easier to access stored items than a container with only one set of doors. This makes them extremely popular with self storage businesses who use them to create separate storage areas for various types of items - for instance boxes, tools and other items in one, and furniture or equipment in the other.
Tunnel containers are ideal for businesses that need to store bulky or large objects, e.g. automobile dealerships, construction firms and manufacturing companies. Their dual entry points mean that the contents of a tunnel container can be loaded and unloaded in less time than the standard container. This allows for increased productivity, reduce costs and prevent costly delays.
The dual access points also make tunnel containers extremely useful for loading and unloading large objects that are too large to be accommodated in a single door e.g. furniture, heavy machinery, and vehicles. They can be used to accommodate hand dollys and forklift ramps which are extremely helpful when working in a busy environment.
Because they are made from weatherproof steel tunnel containers can be used in a variety of outdoor locations. A lot of our customers use tunnel containers to keep guests and staff safe from the wind and rain when they are undergoing security checks for large events such as festivals and concerts. Two tunnel containers placed end to end can keep dozens of people safe from the elements while waiting to be checked in.
Recently, we converted two tunnel containers into a cozy gift shop for an historic railway site.

The customer was so happy with the result that they ordered a second container to build a larger shop!

Easy Storage
The ability to store cargo inside containers for shipping is one of the most important features of tunnels.

This makes it easier to manage your inventory and also saves you time when loading/unloading.

This is ideal for companies that need to rotate their stock easily without having to unload from both ends.

The walls and roof of the tunnel used for shipping are insulated to keep temperatures stable while also protecting your stored goods. This is particularly crucial for perishable goods or chemicals, which could be affected by extreme temperature fluctuations. Shipping containers also help keep moisture and dust out, which can increase the lifespan of your stored items.
Easy Loading and Unloading
When loading cargo into the tunnels of shipping containers, it's important to stack items vertically whenever possible and secure them in place with straps or load bars. This is so that when the containers are being transported via rail or sea, the containers don't move and cause damage. It is a good idea to place heavier items at the lower levels of containers and lighter ones on top. Also, keep flammable items away from other items and anything that could be in contact with liquids, such as for instance, chemicals.
The double doors at the two ends of a tunnel container permit easy access to items in the middle of the container, areas where you might be unable to access them with the standard shipping container.
