tunnel containers for sale Container Uses

Tunnel containers are also referred to as double door shipping containers. They have the same dimensions as a the standard ISO container but the different is that they are opened at both ends. This allows access to cargo easily and is an excellent feature if you are using containers for storage or conversion projects.

Transport

A tunnel container can be used for a variety different reasons. The dual entry points permit easy access to equipment and materials from both ends, making it easier for palletised items to be moved by forklifts, and makes stock flow management much easier. Tunnel containers are often used as temporary bridges at construction sites, or as ticket entry points for events like festivals.

They are also an excellent option for self-storage. By erection of an iron bulkhead partition, one 20ft tunnel container could be converted into two 10ft units, maximizing ROI. Tunnel containers can be customized in a variety of ways. They can include internal lighting and side windows which makes them more suitable for business.

The double doors at both sides of the container make it perfect for storing large or bulky items. This is particularly useful for warehouses, since it is difficult to access large machines and vehicles in regular shipping containers. It will save you a huge amount of time since you don't have to continually move the container around, allowing you to keep moving goods throughout the day.

Tunnel containers can be fitted with cooling and heating systems, which allows them to be used for temperature controlled storage of goods such as foods chemical, pharmaceuticals, chemicals and electronic equipment. They can also be equipped with ventilation systems to prevent condensation of the merchandise.

As with standard shipping containers tunnel containers are available in 20ft and 40ft sizes. They are ISO shipping standards and CSC plated to be used for international freight. They can also be made weatherproof by adding insulation.

They can be transported on flat-bed trucks or chassis, or mounted on a frame for a truck or tracks. They are also a great option for law enforcement equipment as they can be easily moved between bases, and could stop the identification of expensive equipment such as command and control centers or mobile operating theatres. They can be transported with different weapons, including missile launchers. The Container City in Cholula, Mexico is an excellent example of how the old sea containers can be converted into galleries, restaurants, workshops - as well as homes!

Stores

Double end door containers, or Tunnel Containers as they are commonly known, provide access to stored items from both ends of the container. This allows for simple loading and unloading, as well making full use of the storage space. This makes these units ideal as self-storage facilities offering access to both sides of the container without having to take items off. This is especially beneficial for those who need to store bulky, large or awkward objects such as machinery and heavy equipment.

The tunnel container design allows these containers to be converted into offices or secure storage spaces. Tunnel containers, unlike open side shipping containers can be opened from both ends with the doors locked. They are great for constructing offices on site and even housing, if needed.

These containers can be used to store specific items. For example military units could utilize containers to transport high-value systems to temporary locations like command and control centres or mobile operating theatres, which eliminates the need for these costly systems to be transported by road.

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

These units can be equipped with an automatic temperature control system as well as thermal insulation in the event that you are shipping dangerous cargo, such as chemicals or biological materials. This allows them to maintain a constant low temperature and avoid any loss during transportation.

These units are also available with a tarp cover that can be removed that allows for greater flexibility in loading and unloading. This allows tall or bulky cargo to be transported that might not fit in conventional shipping containers, including construction materials, timber, or large machinery. These containers can be outfitted with high security lockboxes that prevent entry from the top.

Stuffing & De Stuffing

When it comes to shipping and storage, logistics professionals use various terms to describe the ways cargo is readied for transport and moved through the supply chain. These terms refer to container stuffing and de-stuffing, which are the method by which goods are placed into or removed from the shipping container. Understanding these concepts will aid any business that uses shipping containers for storage or distribution to succeed.

Stuffing a container tunnel involves strategically placing freight in order to maximize space and meet particular logistical needs. To avoid damage during transport, packing and loading methods that are specifically designed for the cargo should be employed. It is crucial to place the heaviest cargo on the bottom and stack lighter items on top. Also it is crucial to use the appropriate security measures to prevent the cargo from shifting in 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.

On arrival at the destination, container de-stuffing or unloading is a vital step to ensuring the efficiency of supply chain. This process involves removing excess freight from a container. It also requires a careful examination for any signs of physical damage or water damage that could compromise cargo integrity. De-stuffing can only be accomplished in the event that the logistics provider and shipper can communicate effectively and adhere to all applicable regulations.

Refurbished tunnel containers are an affordable solution for businesses that require a safe and secure access point to their site. These containers can be converted into a turnstile, or a manual entry checkpoint to restrict access to areas in the facility. These units are popular for temporary bridges as well as ticket entrances for large events.

While a tunnel container isn't the most commonly used kind of container for shipping however, they're becoming more popular in multimodal logistics applications. Their double end doors make them ideal for shipping and storage, as they can be accessed from both ends. They are frequently used for self storage by businesses who need dual access to their inventory. Portable Space can weld in steel bulkhead partitions to convert a 20ft tunnel container into two storage compartments that measure 10ft each and is a lot less than purchasing new storage containers.

Security

Tunneling is a method used to establish an immediate connection between two points on an internet. It is a way to encapsulate packets that utilize one routing protocol within other protocols, which means that routers on either end of the 40 ft tunnel containers are able to connect directly to each other.

This lets different applications share a common infrastructure. A company, for example can build tunnels to connect its internal resources to the public internet. This will allow them to have uniform security policies for all employees and customers. By using tunnels, companies can also shield sensitive information from being intercepted by the public network.

Container cargo loads, even though they are made of steel, are susceptible to theft. The methods of thieves have improved and they're now able to break into a steel container by cutting off the hinges or doors. For this reason, it's crucial for businesses to put in place security measures to stop their containers from being stolen.

One way to accomplish this is to set up a lockbox on the doors. They are welded steel shrouds that fit around the lug on the door that holds the padlock. They make it very difficult to reach the padlock's location with bolt cutters. In addition, companies can install an alarm with a high security level that will notify them when someone tries to cut the lockbox.

Installing a turnstile, or a manual entry checkpoint with secured access is another way to increase security. This is especially beneficial when people are able to enter in large numbers. This can be used to shield guests from rain and wind and allow security personnel to conduct inspections at the venue.

Shipping containers are available in various sizes and specifications. This lets businesses choose the right one to meet their requirements. Some are designed to accommodate heavy items, such as vehicles and other machinery. Some containers have doors on both ends to allow loading and unloading to be made easier. There are even refrigerated container that can be used for transporting fresh food items.
