Shipping Container Tunnel
Shipping container tunnels, also referred to as double end doors, have standard double-doors on both ends of the container. When they are opened, they create a tunnel. This allows for easy access and greatly increases the convenience and ease of loading and unloading freight.
Tunnel containers are available in a new "one-trip" condition and can be used for a wide variety of conversion and storage projects. They are used by many clients to create small secure storage areas, simply by partitioning the middle.
Easy Access
Tunnel shipping containers come with two double doors at each side making it much easier to access stored items than a container with only one set of doors. This makes them extremely popular with self storage companies who utilize them to create distinct storage areas for different kinds of objects - for instance boxes and tools in one, and furniture or machinery in the other.
Tunnel containers are ideal for businesses that require to store large or bulky objects, e.g. Car dealerships, construction firms, and manufacturing companies. Their dual entry points means that the contents of a tunnel container may be loaded and unloaded in a shorter amount of time than the typical container. This improves efficiency, lowers costs, and eliminates costly delays.
Dual access points make tunnel containers useful for loading and taking away large items, which are too large to fit through one door. furniture, heavy machinery and vehicles. They can be used to accommodate forklift ramps and hand dollys which are extremely useful for working in a noisy setting.
Tunnel containers are weatherproof and can be used outdoors in many different locations. For instance our customers use them to keep their staff and guests safe from rain and wind during security checks at large events such as concerts and festivals. 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.
We've also recently supplied and converted a pair of tunnel containers to an historic railway site that wanted to create a cosy gift shop. With the help of PIR insulation and heaters, the shipping container tunnel was equipped with lighting and double sockets to allow for year-round use. The customers were so pleased by the results that they've since ordered another container from us to build an even bigger and better shop!

Easy Storage
One of the most important aspects of a shipping container tunnel is that it makes it simple to store cargo inside. In contrast to a standard container which requires you unload everything to access the rear end, tunnel containers allow the possibility of opening each end of the container to store your items.

Simply putting an internal partition through the middle of a shipping container will create two separate storage spaces of 10 feet, which is perfect for businesses that want to easily rotate their stock without having to unload everything from both ends. Tunnel containers are also used by many of our clients as 'passageways' at festivals and music events which help to direct crowds through a specific gap or space.

It is also important to keep flammable items away from other items and anything else that could be affected by liquids, for example chemicals.
Double doors at both ends of a tunnel for containers allows easier access to items located in the middle, where access to an ordinary shipping container could be difficult. Tunnel containers are perfect for storing personal and business inventory. They are also utilized by a variety of self storage companies who partition them down the middle to create two smaller stores, which gives them access from both sides (where the standard container would only have one entry point).
