Tunnel Container Uses

Tunnel containers are also referred to as double door shipping container tunnel containers. They have the same dimensions as standard ISO container, however the difference is that they open at both ends. This allows for quick access to the cargo and is useful if you use the container as a storage or conversion project.

Transport

Tunnel containers can be used for a variety of different reasons. Dual entry points make it easy to access equipment and materials at either end. This makes it easier to transport palletised items using forklifts, and it simplifying the management of stock flow. Tunnel containers are typically used as bridges for temporary use on construction sites as well as ticket entry points for events such as festivals.

They also provide a great option for self-storage. By building a steel bulkhead, a 20ft container can be divided into two 10ft units. This maximizes return on investment. Tunnel containers can be modified in many ways, such as adding lighting inside, as well as side windows, making them even more practical for businesses.

Double doors at both ends of the container make it ideal for storing large or bulky items. This is particularly useful for warehouses, since it can be difficult to access large machines and vehicles into regular shipping containers. It can save a huge amount of time when you don't have to constantly shift the container which allows you to keep moving your merchandise throughout the day.

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

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

They can be positioned on truck frames or tracks, or transported on flat-bed or chassis trucks. They are also an excellent alternative for law enforcement equipment since they can be easily moved between bases and may hinder the identification of high-value equipment such as command and control centers or mobile operating theatres. They can even be loaded with a variety of weapons including missile launchers. Container City in Cholula is a fantastic example of how old sea containers can be transformed into restaurants, workshops galleries, and even homes!

Storage

Double-end doors containers, also known as Tunnel Containers, allow access to the storage items at both sides of the container. This allows for simple loading and unloading, as well as full utilization of the storage space. These units are ideal for self-storage facilities as they allow access to both sides without having to remove items. This is especially useful for those who have to store massive, bulky or awkward items such as machinery and heavy equipment.

The tunnel container design allows these containers to be converted into offices or secure storage spaces. Unlike open side shipping containers that need to be completely unloaded to gain access to the contents, tunnel containers can simply be opened from both ends and locked again. They are perfect for creating offices on site and even housing, if needed.

The containers can also be used to store specific equipment. For example military units could make use of them to transport high value equipment to temporary locations such as command and control centres or mobile operating theatres, making it unnecessary for these costly systems to be moved via road.

This method can be used to transport special industrial equipment, such as turbines or generators. This allows for rapid deployment of critical infrastructure to areas where it is needed, reducing time and costs associated with installing fixed infrastructure.

These units can be outfitted with a temperature control system and a thermal insulation if you are shipping dangerous cargo, such as biological or chemical materials. This permits the unit to keep a low temperature, preventing any spoilage.

These containers can also be fitted with a removable tarp cover that allows for greater flexibility in loading and unloading. This allows tall or bulky cargo that would not fit in traditional shipping container tunnel containers to be transported, including huge machinery wood, construction materials, or other bulky items. These containers can be fitted with lockboxes with high security to prevent access from the top.

Stuffing & De Stuffing

Logistics professionals use different terms to describe how cargo is ready for transport and how it is moved along a supply chain. Container stuffing and destuffing are words that describe the process of loading or removing items from a shipping box. Understanding these concepts is important to the success of any business that utilizes shipping containers to store or distribute goods.

Stuffing a tunnel into a container involves strategically placing freight in order to maximize space and meet specific logistical needs. To avoid damage during transportation, loading and packing 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 important to use the appropriate security measures in order to prevent the cargo from shifting in transit. Optimizing the container load helps reduce handling, shipping and labor costs. It also ensures compliance with regulations for safe transport.

Unloading or de-stuffing of containers, is an important step to ensure the effectiveness of your supply chain. This process removes any excess freight from a shipping container, and involves careful inspection to detect indications of water damage or other physical damage that could threaten the integrity of the cargo. De-stuffing is only feasible if 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 modified to offer the option of a turnstile or a manual entry checkpoint that blocks access to restricted areas within the facility. These containers are also popular as bridges for temporary use, and for use as ticket entrances for large events.

Tunnel containers aren't the most sought-after type of shipping container, but they're gaining in popularity for multimodal logistics. They're perfect for storage and shipping, because the doors are double-ended, allowing access from either end. Self-storage is an option for businesses that want to have access to their inventory. Portable Space can weld steel bulkhead partitions to containers that are 20 feet long to create two separate 10ft storage compartments. This is much cheaper than buying new storage containers.

Security

Tunneling is one method to establish a direct point-to-point connection across a network. It encapsulates packets using one routing protocol within other protocols, so routers on either side of the tunnel can connect directly to each other.

This allows different applications to use a common infrastructure. For example, a company can have tunnels for internal resources and the internet. This will help them to ensure that they have uniform security policies for their employees and customers. By using tunnels, companies can also shield sensitive information from being intercepted on the public network.

Container cargo loads, even though they are made of steel, remain susceptible to theft. The methods of thieves have changed and they're now able to break into a steel container by cutting off the hinges or doors. It is therefore essential that businesses take steps to prevent their containers being stolen.

Installing a lockbox on the door is one way to accomplish this. They are steel shrouds that are welded that fit around the lug that secures the padlock on the container doors, and they make it extremely difficult to access the padlock with bolt cutters. Additionally, businesses can put in an alarm that is high-security and will notify them when someone tries to cut the lockbox.

Another way to increase the security of tunnel containers is to put in a turnstile or manual secure entry checkpoint. This is particularly beneficial when there is a large number of people attending the event. This is a great way to shield guests from the wind and rain and allow security personnel to conduct inspections at the location.

Shipping containers are available in different dimensions and conditions. This allows businesses to find the one that best suits their needs. Some are designed to hold bulky items such as vehicles and machinery. Some containers have doors at both ends to facilitate loading and unloading. There are refrigerated containers that can be used to transport fresh food items.
