Tunnel Container Uses

The tunnel container is known as a double door shipping container. They are the same dimensions as normal ISO containers, but they are opened on both ends. This allows for quick access to the cargo, and is helpful when you are using the container as a storage or conversion project.

Transport

Tunnel containers are ideal for a variety of uses. Dual entry points allow you to access equipment and materials at either end. This makes it easier to transport palletised loads with forklifts, and it makes it easier to manage stock flow. Tunnel containers are often used as temporary bridges on construction sites and also as ticket entrances for events such as festivals.

They are also a great solution for self-storage. By erection of the bulkhead partition made of steel, one 20ft tunnel container can become two 10ft units, maximising ROI. 40 ft tunnel containers containers can be customized in many ways. They can include side windows and lighting which makes them more suitable for businesses.

Double doors at both ends of the container are ideal for the storage of large or bulky items. This is particularly helpful in warehouses where it may be difficult to fit large machinery or vehicles into regular shipping containers. It will save you a huge amount of time when you don't need to constantly reposition the container which allows you to keep moving your merchandise throughout the day.

Tunnel containers can be fitted with cooling and heating systems, enabling them to be used for temperature-controlled storage of items such as food chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and electronic equipment. They can also be fitted with ventilation to avoid condensation.

Tunnel containers are available in 20ft or 40ft sizes, the same as traditional shipping containers. They meet ISO shipping standards and CSC plating to be used for international freight. They can also be made weatherproof by adding insulation.

They can be affixed to tracks or frames for trucks or transported on flat-bed or chassis trucks. They are a great option for law enforcement and military equipment since they can easily be moved between bases. This can also help hinder the identification of expensive equipment such as command and control centres or mobile operating theaters. They can also be transported with a range of weaponry including missile launchers. The Container City in Cholula, Mexico is an excellent example of how old sea containers can be turned into restaurants, galleries and workshops - and even homes!

Stores

Double end door containers, or Tunnel Containers as they are popularly referred to, give access to storage items from both ends of the container. This allows for easy loading and unloading as well as full use of the storage space. This makes these units ideal for use as self storage facilities, giving access to both sides of the container without needing to remove items. This is especially beneficial for those who must store large, bulky or awkward objects like machinery and heavy equipment.

The tunnel container's design allows for these units to be easily converted into offices or storage spaces that are secure. In contrast to open-sided shipping containers, which must be completely empty to gain access to the contents 20 ft tunnel container containers can be opened from either end and closed again. They are ideal for creating offices on site and even housing, if needed.

These containers can also be used to store specialised equipment. For example military units can use containers to transport high-value systems to temporary locations such as command and control centres or mobile operating theatres, making it unnecessary for these expensive systems to be transported by roads.

In the same way, industrial equipment that is specialized such as generators and turbines can be transported in this manner as well. This allows for the rapid deployment of critical infrastructure in areas where it is needed and drastically reduces the time and cost involved with installing fixed infrastructure.

If you are looking to ship a more dangerous cargo, such as chemical or biological materials These units can be equipped with specialized thermal insulation and a regulated temperature control system. This allows them to keep an unalterable temperature and avoid any loss during transit.

These containers can also be fitted with a removable tarp covering which allows for more flexibility when loading and unloading. This allows tall or bulky cargo that would not fit into the standard shipping containers to be transported, like large machinery or construction materials, such as timber or other large items. These containers can be fitted with lockboxes of high security that stop access from the top.

Stuffing & De Stuffing

Logistics professionals use various terms to describe the way cargo is ready for transport and how it is moved through the supply chain. Container stuffing and destuffing are two terms that describe the process of loading or removing items from a shipping container. Understanding these concepts is important to the success of any company that utilizes shipping containers for storage or distribution.

Stuffing a tunnel container is strategically placing the cargo to maximize space and meet the specific requirements of logistics. To avoid damage during transit, packing and loading techniques that are specific to the cargo should be employed. This includes placing heaviest items on the bottom, stacking lighter ones on top and utilizing the appropriate securing techniques to stop the cargo from moving during transit. Optimizing the load of the container helps reduce shipping, handling and labor costs. It also ensures compliance with the regulations to ensure safe transportation.

Unloading or de-stuffing a container is a crucial step to ensure the effectiveness of your supply chain. This process removes excess freight from a shipping container and involves careful inspection to detect signs of water damage, or other physical damage that could affect the integrity of the cargo. De-stuffing is only possible when the logistics company and shipper can communicate effectively and adhere to all applicable regulations.

Refurbished tunnel containers are a cost-effective option for businesses who need an efficient and secure access point to their premises. They can be modified to serve as an automated turnstile or entry checkpoint, which blocks access to restricted areas within the facility. These containers are also used for temporary bridges and as ticket entry points at large events.

Although tunnel containers aren't the most popular kind of container for shipping but they're becoming increasingly sought-after in multimodal logistics applications. They're ideal for storage and shipping, because their doors that are double-ended allow access from either end. They are often used to store items in self-storage by companies that require two access points to their inventory. Portable Space can weld in steel bulkhead partitions, converting a 20ft tunnel containers tunnel container into two storage compartments of 10 feet each, which is much cheaper than buying new storage containers.

Security

Tunneling is one method to set up a direct point-to-point connection across the network. It is a way to encapsulate packets that utilize one routing protocol inside other protocols, meaning that routers on either end of the tunnel can connect directly to one another.

This lets different applications share a common infrastructure. For instance, a business can use tunnels to access internal resources and the internet. This can help them maintain consistent security policies for all employees and customers. By using tunnels, companies can also shield sensitive information from being accessed through the public network.

Despite being constructed of steel, containers are still susceptible to theft. Thieves have become quite sophisticated in their techniques, and they can often get inside a container by the removal of its hinges or doors. Therefore, it is essential that businesses take steps to prevent their containers being stolen.

Installing a lockbox on the door is one way to achieve this. These are welded steel shrouds that fit around the lug that holds the padlock on the container doors, and they make it very difficult to access the padlock area with bolt cutters. The company can also include a high security alarm that will alert the company if someone attempts to cut through the lockbox.

Installing turnstiles, or a manual entry checkpoint that has secured access is another way to increase security. This is particularly useful for events with large crowds. It can help keep guests away from the wind and rain while allowing security personnel to inspect the people as they enter the venue.

Shipping containers are available in various dimensions and sizes which means that businesses can find the one that best suits their needs. For instance, some are designed to accommodate bulky objects, such as machinery and vehicles. Some containers have doors on both sides to make loading and unloading easier. Additionally, there are refrigerated containers that can be used to transport fresh food.
