Tunnel Containers

Like the name suggests the most important feature of a tunnel containers is the dual door design at each end of the container. This significantly enhances access and makes them ideal for storage and handling of goods.

They are also popular for conversion into self-storage units since they can be divided by constructing an enclosure wall. We have helped customers use them for storage of plant machinery and secure access to the site with turnstiles.

Dual Access

A tunnel container is an altered version of the standard shipping container that has double doors at both ends. These containers are also known as a "double end door container" or a "tunnel-shaped container". They permit access to the items stored at both ends.

The dual-end access allows for cargo to be loaded and unloaded from either side of the container. This is ideal if you're transporting bulkier or larger items which would otherwise have to be backed in and out of the container. Double-end access removes the need to empty the entire container to reach goods buried deep inside, saving time and reducing the risk of damage.

This unique feature makes tunnel containers versatile and flexible. They can be used for a diverse variety of storage and transportation requirements, including being transformed into living spaces or mobile offices. And because they're made from tough, corrosion-resistant Corten steel they can withstand the most extreme weather conditions.

If you want a more secure solution, we can weld steel bulkheads onto one of the long sides, creating two storage compartments with a total of 10ft. This makes them perfect for self-storage businesses that are looking to improve security by segregating their customer's items into separate areas. Double-end door containers are also popular as ticket entrances for large events because they are able to easily handle crowds while keeping them dry.

Our 20ft double-door tunnel containers are fitted with fork pockets designed for large industrial forklifts which means they can be easily stackable or lifted from the corners of both sides. We've also added PIR insulation and heaters to these containers which allows them to be used for year-round storage.

We can make tunnel containers with custom sizes to meet your exact requirements if you require an even more customized solution. We can produce containers in double-sided and single-sided versions and also in various lengths. Custom-sized tunnel containers are more expensive than standard shipping containers, so we recommend choosing the closest size that meets your needs.

Temperature-Sensitive Goods

The storage of most dangerous items such as explosives or flammable liquids should be done at optimal temperatures. Any temperature fluctuations could alter their stability and could cause a combustion or release of toxic fumes. When storing temperature-sensitive hazardous goods, it's essential that container terminal facilities are equipped with the appropriate monitoring equipment to track and identify any anomalies or deviations from set temperatures.

Sometimes, these fluctuations can be difficult to spot, especially in the middle of a busy day. This is why it's essential that container terminals use an instrument that provides real-time temperature monitoring across all reefer containers in their facility. This allows staff to react quickly to any abnormalities and prevent any risks.
