Shipping Container Tunnel
Shipping container tunnels, also called double-end doors, have standard double-doors on both ends of the container. When opened they create a tunnel. This makes it easy to access, and greatly enhances the convenience and ease of loading and unloading freight.
Tunnel containers can be purchased in a "one-trip" condition which is suitable for many storage or conversion projects. Many customers use tunnel containers to build small stores for secure storage - simply by dividing them down the middle.
Easy Access
With a pair of standard double doors at both ends, tunnel shipping containers offer the most convenient access to storage items than a regular container with just one set of doors. This makes them extremely popular with self-storage companies who use them to build separate storage areas for various kinds of objects - for example boxes and tools in one section and furniture or machines in the other.
Tunnel containers are perfect for businesses that need to store large or bulky objects, e.g. car dealerships, construction companies and manufacturing companies. Their dual entry points means that the contents of a tunnel container may be loaded and unloaded in less time than the typical container. This improves efficiency, lowers costs and prevents costly delays.
The dual access points make tunnel containers incredibly convenient for loading and unloading heavy items that are too big to fit through a single door e.g. furniture, heavy machinery and automobiles. They can be used to accommodate forklift ramps and hand dollys, which are very useful when working in a busy setting.
Since they are constructed of weatherproof steel tunnel containers can be used in a variety of outdoor settings. For example many of our clients employ tunnel containers to keep their staff and guests safe from wind and rain during security checks at big events such as festivals and concerts. Two tunnel containers arranged between each other can keep dozens safe of the wind and rain while they wait for their turn to be checked in or scanned.
We've also recently provided and converted two tunnel containers for a railway heritage site who wanted to set up a cozy gift shop. By 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 results, that they ordered a second container to expand the shop!
We have a selection of new 'one-trip' tunnel containers as well as second-hand converted ones available. If you're interested in purchasing a tunnel container contact us and we'll be able to talk you through the options.
Easy Storage
The ability to store cargo inside a shipping container is among the most important advantages of a tunnel. Unlike a standard container, which requires you unload everything to access the rear end tunnel containers permit the possibility of opening each end of the container for storage. This makes it much easier to manage your inventory and also saves you time when loading/unloading.
Tunnel containers also come with standard double doors on both walls, which makes them ideal for storage for cargo. This feature helps keep pests out of your storage space, which is extremely important for those who plan to store hazardous chemicals or perishable products.
Tunnel containers are perfect for self-storage units due their dual entry points. A shipping container can be divided into two distinct storage spaces 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 utilized by a lot of our customers as 'passages' at festivals and music events which help to direct crowds through a particular space or gap.
The flexibility of a shipping container tunnel is what makes it so efficient for a variety of applications. They can be converted into portable warehouses, workshops, offices and much more. Storage-wise, their double-end access and weatherproof seals aid to restrict movement within the container, thereby reducing the risk of damage.
Shipping containers are made of corrosion-resistant Corten steel, which means they're able to withstand tough environments and frequent transport without difficulty. They also can withstand high winds, and when covered, they will protect your possessions from rain, snow and dust.
The walls and roof of the tunnels of shipping containers help to protect your stored goods, as well as keeping temperatures steady. This is especially crucial for perishable items or chemicals that could be negatively affected by extremes of temperature. Shipping containers are able to keep moisture and dust out, which can significantly improve the longevity of the stored items.
Easy Loading and Unloading
It is crucial to stack cargo vertically in a shipping tunnel, and then fix it using straps or load bars. This ensures that when the containers are transported by sea or rail the containers won't shift around and cause damage. It's a good idea also to place heavier items at lower levels of containers and lighter ones on top. It is also important to keep flammable items away from other items as well as anything that could be in contact with liquids, such as for example, chemicals.
Double doors at the ends of a tunnel for containers allows easier access to items in the middle, where the standard shipping container might be difficult. Tunnel containers are perfect for storing both personal and business inventory. They are also used by numerous self-storage companies that divide the containers in half to create two smaller stores, allowing them easy access from both sides (where conventional containers would only have one entry point).
Tunnel containers can be altered as easily as any type of shipping container. This means that you can add windows, lighting, and even windows according to your requirements. They can also be transformed into workshops, offices or retail spaces.
If you're looking for a tunnel for your shipping container or any other type of storage solution, you'll need to conduct a thorough check prior to purchasing. This includes making sure the container is in a dry and clean condition and free of holes, tears or scratches. Examine the corner posts for damage and make sure all locking mechanisms are in good shape. You'll also want to make sure the container has an active CSC plate and is capable of being loaded for international transportation.

Before you begin building your tunnel container house, it is important to keep in mind that the process of remodeling and changing the shape of a shipping container is more than just putting up walls. You must consider a range of aspects, including hiring an expert in the field of shipping container conversions.
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. If the containers are not properly aligned there could be structural issues that arise. It is essential to choose a container in good condition as older units are more susceptible to corrosion or other damage during storage and transit.
Before you purchase a tunnel shipping container , you should think about what you intend to use it for. If you want to use it as an office, for instance it is recommended to select one that has a large cube.
