Shipping Container Tunnel
Shipping container tunnels, also known as double-end door containers, come with standard double doors at both sides of the container, which effectively creates a tunnel when opened. This facilitates easy access, and greatly improves the convenience and ease of loading and unloading freight.
Tunnel containers are available in a new "one trip" condition and are suitable for a range of storage and conversion projects. Many customers utilize tunnel containers to create small storage units for safe storage 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 containers with just one set of doors. Self-storage companies love them because they can create different storage areas for various items. For instance, boxes and tools are kept in one area while furniture and machinery is kept in the other.
Tunnel containers are perfect for businesses that need to store large or bulky objects, e.g. automobile dealerships, construction firms and manufacturing companies. Due to their dual entry points, tunnel containers can be loaded or unloaded quicker than standard containers. container tunnels for sale can help increase efficiency, reduce costs and prevent costly delays.
The dual access points also make tunnel containers extremely convenient for loading and unloading large items that are too big to be accommodated in a single door e.g. furniture, heavy machinery and vehicles. They can accommodate forklift ramps and hand dollys, which are very useful when working in a crowded working environment.
Since they are made of 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 employees and guests safe from wind and rain when security checks are conducted at large events like concerts and festivals. Two tunnel containers arranged end-to-end can keep dozens out of the wind and rain while they wait for their turn to be scanned or checked in.
Recently, we renovated two tunnel containers into a cozy gift shop for an historic railway site. The shipping container tunnel was equipped with double sockets and lighting to allow year-round usage, using PIR insulation and heaters. The customer was so thrilled with the results, that they ordered another container to create a bigger shop!

Easy Storage
One of the most important advantages of a shipping container tunnel is that it is simple to store cargo inside.

This helps you manage inventory and saves time when loading/unloading.
Tunnel containers also come with standard double doors on both walls, making them perfect for cargo storage. This feature can also help keep insects out of your storage, which is extremely important if you plan on storing perishable goods or hazardous chemicals.
Tunnel containers are great for self-storage units due their dual entry points. Simply adding an internal partition through the middle of a shipping container can create two separate storage spaces of 10 feet that are ideal for businesses that want to rotate their inventory without having to remove everything from both ends. Tunnel containers are also used by many of our clients as 'passages' at music events and festivals, helping to funnel crowds through a certain gap or space.
In the end, the versatility of a shipping container tunnel is what makes it an efficient solution for a wide range of applications. They can be transformed into portable offices, workshops, warehouses and much more. Storage is made simpler through the double-end access and weatherproof seals as well as the ability to store the container.
Shipping containers are constructed from corrosion-resistant Corten steel, which means that they're able to withstand tough environments and frequent transport without difficulty. They can also withstand strong winds, and if covered, they will protect your possessions from snow, rain and dust.
The roof and walls of the tunnel for shipping containers are insulated to keep temperatures steady, while also protecting the stored items. This is especially important for perishable goods or chemicals that can be affected adversely by extremes of temperature. Shipping containers can also keep dust and moisture out, which will increase the lifespan of your stored items.
Easy Loading and Unloading
When loading cargo into the tunnels of shipping containers, it is essential to stack items vertically whenever feasible and secure them by using straps or load bars. It is essential to stack the containers vertically to ensure that they don't move and cause damage when the containers are transported via rail or by sea. It's also a good idea to have heavier items on the lower part of the container and lighter ones at the top. It is also important to keep flammable items away from other items and anything that could be in contact with liquids, such as for example chemicals.
The double doors at both ends of a tunnel container permit easy access to items that are located in the middle of the container, which is where you might have trouble with the standard shipping container. Tunnel containers are ideal to store personal and business inventory. Many self-storage companies use tunnel containers as well. They break them into half to create two smaller stores and provide an easy access on both sides.
In addition to the dual door accessibility of tunnel containers, they can be modified just as easily as other types of container for shipping. You can also add windows and lighting depending on what you need. They can also be transformed into offices, workshops or retail spaces.
You should always conduct a thorough inspection before buying any storage solution. You should also check whether the container is dry and clean and free of holes, tears or scratches. You should also examine the corner posts to make sure they're not damaged and check that the locking mechanisms are in good working order. You should ensure that the container is equipped with an active CSC plate and is able to be loaded for international transport.

But, before you begin building your home for your tunnel container, it's important to remember that the process of converting and remodeling the inside of a shipping container isn't quite just a matter of adding walls. You must consider a range of factors, including hiring an expert in the field of shipping container conversions.
Choosing the right shipping container is a crucial process, as it has to be of the same size as the other container you're planning to connect. If the containers are not aligned correctly structural issues could arise. It's crucial to select a container in good condition as older units are more prone to rust or other damage in transit and storage.
Before purchasing a tunnel-shipping container, it is important to consider what you will use it for.
