Shipping Container Tunnel
Shipping container tunnels, also known as double end doors, have standard double-doors on both ends of the container. When they are opened they create a tunnel. This allows for easy access, and greatly enhances the convenience and ease of loading and unloading freight.
Tunnel containers can be bought in a "one-trip" condition that can be used for a variety of storage or conversion projects. They are utilized by a variety of customers to create small, secure storage areas, simply by partitioning the middle.
Easy Access
Tunnel shipping containers come with two double doors at each side making it much easier to access items stored than a container that has only one set of doors. Self-storage companies love them because they can create different storage spaces for various items. For instance boxes and tools can be stored in one section while furniture and equipment are kept in the other.
Tunnel containers are also great for businesses that require storage or transport of large or bulky items e.g. car dealerships, construction companies and manufacturing companies. Due to their dual entry points tunnel containers are able to be loaded and unloaded more quickly than conventional containers. This improves efficiency, lowers costs and avoids costly delays.
The dual access points make tunnel containers incredibly useful for loading and unloading heavy items that are too large to fit through a single entrance e.g. furniture, heavy machinery and automobiles. They can easily accommodate fork lift ramps and hand dolly ramps that are extremely beneficial in busy work environments.
Since they are constructed of weatherproof steel, tunnel containers can be utilized in a variety of outdoor settings. Many of our customers use tunnel containers to keep guests and staff out of the elements of wind and rain during security checks for large events like concerts and festivals. Two tunnel containers laid end to end can keep dozens of people safe from the elements while waiting to be scanned or checked in.
We've also recently provided and converted two tunnel containers for an historic railway site that wanted to create a cosy gift shop. 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 happy with the result that they purchased a second container to create a bigger shop!

Easy Storage
One of the most important aspects of a shipping container tunnel is that it makes it simple to store cargo inside. Tunnel containers are simpler to store than standard containers, which require you to unload the entire box to access the rear. This makes it easier to manage inventory and reduces time when loading and unloading.
Tunnel containers also have double doors that are standard on both walls, making them ideal for storage of cargo. This feature helps keep insects from your storage, which is crucial if you plan on storing perishable goods or hazardous chemicals.
Tunnel containers are ideal for self-storage units because of their dual entry points. Simply adding an internal partition down the middle of a shipping container will create two separate 10ft storage spaces, which is perfect for businesses that need to easily rotate their stock without having to unload everything from both ends. Many of our customers utilize tunnel containers to serve as 'passages' at events and music festivals, allowing them to funnel crowds into a particular area.
Ultimately, the flexibility of the shipping container tunnel is what makes it such an efficient solution for wide range of applications. They can be transformed into anything from portable offices to workshops, warehouses and much more. For storage the double-end access and weatherproof seals aid to restrict movement within the container, minimizing the chance of damage.
Shipping containers are made from corrosion-resistant Corten steel, which means that they're able to handle harsh environments and frequent transportation easily. They are also able to withstand powerful winds and, if they're covered, will protect your items from dust, rain and snow.
The walls and roof of the tunnels for shipping containers help protect the stored goods as well as keeping the temperature stable. This is especially crucial for perishable goods or chemicals, which can be affected by extreme temperature fluctuations. Shipping containers can also keep moisture and dust out, which can increase the lifespan of your stored items.
Easy Loading and Unloading
It is crucial to stack cargo vertically in the shipping tunnel and secure it with straps or load bars. It is essential to stack the containers vertically so they won't shift and cause damage when the containers are transported by rail or sea. It's also an ideal idea to put heavier items on the bottom of the container and lighter ones on top. It is also important to keep flammable items away from other items and anything else that might be contaminated by liquids, for example chemicals.
Double doors at the ends of a tunnel for containers allows easier access to items in the middle, which the standard shipping container might be difficult to access. Tunnel containers are great for storage of inventory, both for commercial and personal use. They are also utilized by a variety of self storage companies who partition them in the middle to create two smaller stores, which gives them access from both sides (where a standard container could only have one entry point).
Tunnel containers can be modified 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 be converted into office, retail or workshops.
It is recommended to perform a thorough inspection prior to buying any storage solution. It is also important to ensure whether the container is clean and dry and free of holes, tears or scratches. Check the corner posts for damage and ensure that the locking mechanisms are in good shape. It is also important to ensure that the container is equipped with an appropriate CSC plate and is able to be loaded for international transportation.

Easy Conversion
Tunnel shipping containers have double doors on both ends giving them a tunnel like appearance which allows for easy loading and access from either end. 20ft tunnel container are often used for storage in warehouses or heavy machinery because they're able to accommodate large trucks and tractors. Container homes are also popular due to the fact that they can easily be modified to include windows and doors, interior dividing wall, and outdoor spaces.
The unique characteristics of the shipping container tunnel make it a great alternative for creating a well constructed and unique home. Based on your budget, you can incorporate different features to create an individualized and comfortable living space. You can transform your home from a traditional dwelling into a unique and practical piece of art by adding features like windows, doors as well as 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 an existing shipping container isn't just a matter of adding walls. There are many different steps you must consider for example, hiring a professional in construction who specialises in shipping container conversions.
Choosing the right shipping container is an additional process, as it has to be the same size as the other container you're planning to connect. If the containers aren't aligned correctly, structural problems could occur. It is essential to choose an item that is in good condition as older units are more susceptible to damage due to corrosion or other causes during storage and transit.
Before you purchase a tunnel shipping container, it is important to consider what you will use it for. For example, if you're using it to create an office space, it might be best to get a high cube container with plenty of extra room. This will provide plenty of room to store and move items around. It will also make it easier to connect several shipping containers together, if needed.
