Tunnel Container Uses

The tunnel container is also called a double-door shipping container. They are the same dimensions of normal ISO containers but they open on both ends. This feature allows for easy access to the cargo, and is helpful if you use the container as a storage or conversion project.

Transport

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

They are also an excellent option for self-storage. By installing an iron bulkhead partition the 20ft tunnel container can be transformed into two 10ft units, maximizing return on investment. Tunnel containers can be modified in many ways, to include lighting for the interior, and side windows, making them more suitable for companies.

Double doors at both ends of the container make it ideal for storage of large or bulky items. This is particularly beneficial for warehouses, where it can be difficult to access large machines and vehicles inside standard shipping containers. It will save a significant amount of time since you don't need to constantly reposition the container, allowing you to keep moving merchandise throughout the day.

Tunnel containers can be outfitted with heating and cooling units, allowing them to be used for temperature-controlled storage for goods such foods, chemicals and pharmaceuticals. They can also be equipped with ventilation systems that prevent condensation of the merchandise.

Like normal shipping containers, tunnel containers are available in both 20ft and 40ft sizes. They are ISO shipping standards and CSC plating to be used for international freight. They can also be weatherproofed by adding insulation.

They can be transported on flat-bed chassis or flat-bed trucks, or mounted on a truck frame or tracks. They are a great choice for law enforcement and military equipment because they can be moved between bases. This may also hinder the identification of expensive equipment, such as command and control centres or mobile operating theaters. They can be shipped with various weapons including missile launchers. The Container City in Cholula, Mexico is an excellent example of how the old sea containers can be transformed into galleries, restaurants, workshops - and homes!

Stores

Double end door containers, or Tunnel Containers as they are popularly referred to, give access to storage items from both sides of the container. This greatly improves the ease of access to load and unloading, and allows full use of storage space. This makes these units ideal for use as self-storage facilities providing access to both sides of the container without having to remove items. This is particularly beneficial for those who need to store large, bulky or awkward objects such as machinery and heavy equipment.

In addition to this the tunnel container design allows these units to be converted easily into offices or other safe storage spaces. In contrast to open-sided shipping containers, which must be completely unloaded to gain access to the contents, tunnel containers can simply be opened from both ends and the doors locked shut again. They are perfect for creating offices on-site and even housing, if needed.

These containers can also be used to store specialised equipment. For instance military units can use them to transport high value equipment to temporary locations like command and control centers or mobile theatres of operation, eliminating the need for these costly systems to be transported by road.

Additionally, industrial equipment like turbines and generators can be shipped in this manner as well. This allows for rapid deployment of critical infrastructure to areas where it is needed which reduces the time and expense associated with constructing fixed infrastructure.

For those who want to transport an item that is more risky like biological or chemical materials These units are equipped with specially designed thermal insulation and a controlled temperature control system. This allows them to keep a constant low temperature and prevents any spoilage during transportation.

These containers can be outfitted with removable tarp covers which offer greater flexibility when loading and unloading. This allows tall or bulky items that wouldn't fit into the standard shipping containers to be transported, like large machinery wood, construction materials or other heavy items. To ensure security, these containers may also be fitted with a high-security lockbox which prevents entry from the top of the container.

Stuffing & De Stuffing

Logistics professionals use various terms to describe how cargo is prepared for transport and moved along a supply chain. These terms cover container stuffing as well as de-stuffing, which refer to the method by which goods are taken out of or loaded into containers for shipping. Understanding these concepts is crucial to the success of any company that utilizes shipping containers to store or distribute goods.

Stuffing a container tunnel involves carefully placing the cargo in order to maximize space and meet particular logistical needs. To prevent damage in transit, packing and loading methods that are specifically designed for the cargo must be used. This means placing the largest items on the bottom, stacking lighter ones on top and utilizing the appropriate securing techniques to stop the cargo from moving during transit. Optimising the container load also helps to reduce shipping, handling, and labour costs per unit. It also ensures compliance with regulations for safe transport.

When the container arrives at its destination the process of unloading or de-stuffing the container is an essential step in maintaining the efficiency of the supply chain. This process removes excess freight from a shipping container and involves careful inspection to find signs of water damage or other physical damage that could affect the integrity of the cargo. Compliance with regulations and effective communication between the logistics service provider and the shipper are essential to a successful de-stuffing procedure.

For businesses that require a safe and secure access point to their site using a refurbished tunnel container is a cost-effective option. They can be modified to provide the option of a turnstile or a manual entry checkpoint that prevents access to restricted areas within the facility. These units are popular for temporary bridges and as ticket entrances for large events.

Tunnel containers aren't the most sought-after type of shipping container, but they're becoming more popular for multimodal logistics. They're perfect for storage and shipping, because their double-ended doors allow access from either side. Self-storage is a popular choice for companies that want to have access to their inventory. Portable Space can weld steel bulkhead partitions into a 20ft container to create two separate 10ft compartments. This is a lot less expensive than buying new storage containers.

Security

Tunneling is one method to set up a direct point-to-point connection across a network. It encapsulates packets using one routing protocol that is integrated into other protocols so that routers at both ends of the tunnel can directly connect to one another.

This allows different applications to use the same infrastructure. For example, a company can have tunnels for internal resources and the internet. This can help them maintain consistent security policies for all employees and customers. The company can also protect sensitive data from being stolen by using tunnels.

Container cargo loads even though they're made of steel, remain susceptible to theft. The methods of thieves have improved and they're capable of breaking into steel containers by removing the doors or hinges. For this reason, it's important for companies to implement measures to prevent their containers from being stolen.

The installation of a lockbox to the door is a way to achieve this. They are steel shrouds that are welded that fit around the lug which holds the padlock to the container doors, and they make it difficult to gain access to the padlock area with bolt cutters. The company can also include a high security alarm that alerts the company if someone attempts to cut through the lockbox.

Installing a turnstile, or a manual entry checkpoint with secured access is another way to increase security. This is particularly useful for events with large crowds. This is a great way to shield guests from rain and wind and allow security personnel to conduct security checks at the event.

Shipping containers come in a variety of dimensions and sizes and therefore, businesses can choose the best one to meet their needs. For instance, some are made for heavy items like vehicles and machinery. Some containers come with doors on both sides to make loading and unloading easier. There are refrigerated containers that can be used to transport fresh food.
