How Shipping Container Tunnel Rose To The #1 Trend On Social Media
Shipping Container Tunnel
Shipping container tunnels, also called double-end doors, have standard double-doors on both ends of the container. When opened they create tunnels. This facilitates easy access and greatly improves the convenience of loading and unloading cargo.
Tunnel containers are available in new 'one trip' condition and are suitable for a range of conversion and storage projects. They are used by many clients to create small secure storage areas, simply by partitioning the middle.
Easy Access
With two standard double doors at both ends tunnel shipping containers provide much easier access to items stored than a normal container with one set of doors. Self-storage businesses love them because they can create different storage areas for different objects. For example boxes and tools can be kept in one place while furniture and other equipment is kept in the other.
Tunnel containers are great for businesses that need to store bulky or large objects, e.g. automobile dealerships, construction firms and manufacturing companies. Due to their dual entry points, tunnel containers can be loaded or unloaded quicker than conventional containers. This increases productivity, reduces costs, and eliminates costly delays.
The dual access points also make tunnel containers extremely efficient for loading and unloading large objects that are too big to fit through a single door e.g. furniture, heavy machinery and vehicles. They can accommodate forklift ramps and hand dollys, which are very useful when working in a busy environment.
Since they are constructed of weatherproof steel tunnel containers can be utilized in a variety of outdoor locations. For instance, many of our customers utilize tunnel containers to keep their staff and guests out of the wind and rain during security checks at big events like festivals and concerts. Two tunnel containers placed between each other can keep dozens safe of the wind and rain while they wait to be scanned or checked in.
Recently, we renovated two tunnel containers into an inviting gift shop for an historic railway site. The tunnel for the shipping container was equipped with double sockets and lighting to allow all-year-round use, with PIR insulation and heaters. The customer was so thrilled with the results that they ordered a second container to build a larger shop!
We have a variety of new 'one-trip' tunnel containers as well as second-hand conversion ones in stock. If you are interested in purchasing tunnel containers, please get in touch and we'll discuss the options with you.
Easy Storage
The capacity to store cargo inside a shipping container is among the most important features of a tunnel. Unlike a standard container, which requires you to take it off everything to access the rear end, tunnel containers allow you to open up either side of the box for storage. This helps you manage inventory and reduces time when loading and unloading.
In addition, tunnel containers have standard double doors on both walls, which makes them ideal for storage of cargo. This feature can also keep the pests out of your storage. This is crucial if you are storing perishable items or hazardous chemicals.
Because of their dual entry points, tunnel containers are also perfect for conversion into self storage units. Simply putting an internal partition down the middle of a shipping container will create two separate storage spaces of 10 feet, which is perfect for businesses that need to rotate their inventory without having to unload everything from both ends. Many of our customers use tunnel containers to serve as 'passages' at music festivals and other events that allow them to funnel crowds into a particular area.
The versatility of the shipping container tunnel is what makes it such an efficient solution for broad range of applications. They can be used as portable offices, workshops, warehouses and much more. Storage is made simpler with the double-end access system, weatherproof seals and the ability to store the container.
Shipping containers are made of corrosion-resistant Corten steel, meaning they can withstand harsh environments and frequent transport easily. They also can withstand high winds, and when covered, will shield your items from rain, snow and dust.
The walls and the roof of the tunnel used for shipping are insulated to keep temperatures steady, while also protecting your stored goods. This is particularly important for perishable items or chemicals, which could be affected by extreme temperature fluctuations. Shipping containers are able to keep moisture and dust out, which can significantly improve the lifespan of the stored items.
Easy Loading and Unloading
When loading cargo into the tunnels of shipping containers, it's important to stack items vertically where possible and secure them by using straps or load bars. This ensures that when the containers are being transported via rail or sea, the containers won't shift around and cause damage. It's also a good idea to put heavier items at bottom of container and lighter items on top. It is also important to keep flammable items from other items and anything else that might be contaminated by liquids, for example, chemicals.
The double doors at the two ends of a tunnel container allow easy access to items inside the container, where you may have difficulty with the typical shipping container. Tunnel containers are great for storing both personal and business inventory. 40ft tunnel container -storage companies utilize tunnel containers as well. They break them into half to create two smaller stores and give them easy access on both sides.
In addition to the dual door accessibility of tunnel containers, they can be modified as easily as other types of container for shipping. This means you can add windows and lighting, according to your requirements. They can also be converted into workshops, offices or retail spaces.
If you're looking for a tunnel for your shipping container or another storage solution, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection prior to making a purchase. This includes checking that the container is in dry and clean condition and free of scratches, holes or tears. Check the corner posts for damage, and ensure that the locking mechanisms are in good shape. You'll want to ensure that the container is equipped with an active CSC plate, and can be loaded for international transportation.

However, prior to building your home for your tunnel container it's important to understand that the process of converting and remodeling a shipping container isn't just a matter of putting up some walls. There are a number of different steps that you must consider, including hiring a professional in construction who specializes in shipping container conversions.
The shipping container you choose should be the same size as other container you are planning to connect. If the containers aren't aligned correctly, structural problems could occur. It is essential to choose an item that is in good condition since older units are more prone to rust or other damage during storage and transport.
It's also worth considering the purpose you intend to use the tunnel shipping container for before buying it. If you want to make it an office, for instance it's best to pick a container with a large cube. This will give you plenty of room to store items and move them around. It will also make it easier to connect several shipping containers together when needed.
