Dual Access

Tunnel containers are an altered version of a standard shipping container with double doors at both ends. It is also known as a 'double-end door container' or a tunnel container, These containers allow access to stored items from both ends.

The dual-end access permits cargo to be loaded and unloaded from both sides of the container. This is ideal for transporting bulkier or larger items that otherwise would need to be backed into and out of the container. The double-end access eliminates the need to unload the entire container in order to get to goods stored deep within, which saves time and decreases the chance of damage during transport.

This clever feature is what makes tunnel containers so flexible and versatile. They can be used for a diverse range of storage and transportation requirements, including being transformed into living spaces or mobile offices. They are made of tough, corrosion-resistant Corten steel that can withstand even the most extreme weather conditions.

If you're looking for a more secure option, we can weld in steel bulkheads onto one of the long sides of the container, resulting in two separate storage compartments measuring 10 feet. Self-storage businesses can use them to divide their customers' belongings in different areas, increasing security. Our double-end door containers are very popular at large events as ticket entry points, as they can accommodate large crowds and keep them dry.

Our 20ft double door tunnel containers have fork pockets that are suitable for industrial forklifts. This means they are able to be stackable or lifted at the corners of each long side. These containers are also outfitted with PIR insulation and heaters, making them ideal for storage throughout the year.

We can build tunnel containers with customized sizes to meet your exact specifications if you need a more bespoke solution. We can produce containers in single- or double-sided versions, and different lengths. However the custom-sized tunnel containers will be more expensive than an ordinary shipping container, so we recommend selecting the one that is closest to your needs.

Temperature-Sensitive Goods

The storage of most dangerous goods such as explosives or liquids that ignite is best stored at temperatures that are optimal. Any fluctuations in temperature can alter their stability and cause explosion or release of toxic fumes. When storing temperature-sensitive hazardous goods, it's essential that container terminal facilities are equipped with the appropriate monitoring equipment to track and identify any anomalies or deviations from set temperatures.

These fluctuations can be difficult to detect, especially during a hectic workday. Container terminals should have a system to keep track of the temperature of all reefer containers within their facility. This allows staff to react quickly in the event of any anomalies and to avoid any risk.

Tunnel containers are a practical option when it comes to transporting and storing temperature-sensitive goods. Double doors are located at both ends of the container making it easier to load and unload during transportation and storage. They can be used to store large items such as machinery or vehicles.

The modified containers are typically made from the standard 20 or 40 foot shipping container. The solid end is removed and the double doors is welded into place, creating two-way access.

Some container terminals also convert their tunnel shipping containers to be used as a secure site entrance by installing a turnstile or manual security checkpoint as users pass through. While these conversions aren't available in standard sizes however, they can be made to meet the specific needs of the customer and are cost-effective when compared to building an entire facility from scratch. Tunnel containers are typically only available in a 'new one-time use condition. This is because the owners build them for a specific purpose and then keep them for a period of time. This makes them a highly sought after product for those looking to increase their business' or warehouse storage capacity without the need to purchase an entirely new refrigerated facility. They are also a very economical solution for those who want to store temperature-sensitive goods over long periods of time, or for transporting large volumes of cargo over long distances.

Convenient Storage

Tunnel containers are the ideal container to store your cargo. The containers are double doors on both sides of the container, in contrast to standard dry storage containers which have one door at the end. This means you can get into the storage container from both sides, allowing for easier access and faster loading and unloading of items.

One-trip tunnel containers can be built from new with two sets of double doors, or adapted from a standard shipping container. In the second case, the solid end is removed from the container and a pair of double doors are welded to each end.

The shipping containers are generally only available in new one-trip condition, because their owners will have created them for a particular purpose and will not want to sell them on. However, you can still buy refurbished tunnel containers from some companies that offer this type of container. The refurbished containers have been inspected to ensure they're safe for transportation and are sold with a longer warranty for added peace of mind.

Furthermore, the doors at both ends can be locked to stop any unauthorized entry.

These containers are very durable, and because they're made from corten steel, they're designed to endure harsh weather conditions. They are wind and watertight, and they have ventilation to ensure airflow. These features protect items from moisture, decreasing the risk of spoilage and loss.

Open top containers, for instance are equipped with bow-tops that can be removed to make loading heavy and large cargo easier. Side open containers have doors that are placed on the side of the container making them ideal for storing smaller goods.
