Tunnel containers are available in a 'one-trip' condition that can be used for a variety of storage or conversion projects. Many customers use tunnel containers to create small storage units for secure storage - simply by dividing them down the middle.

Recently, we converted two tunnel containers into an inviting gift shop for a railway heritage site.
