Tunnel Containers

The key feature of tunnel containers, as the name implies is the dual door design at both ends of the container. This significantly improves accessibility and makes tunnel containers ideal for storage and goods handling.

They can also be converted into self-storage units with the addition of the partition. We have helped clients utilize them to store plant machinery and secure site access with turnstiles.

Dual Access

Tunnel containers are an alternative to the standard shipping container that has double doors at both ends. They are also referred to as a "double end door container" or a "tunnel-shaped container". They allow access to the stored items at both ends.

The dual-end access allows cargo to be loaded and unloaded from both sides of the container, which is ideal when you're moving bulkier or larger items that would otherwise need to be backed in and out of the container. The double-end access also makes it unnecessary to unload the entire container in order to get to goods stored deep inside, which reduces time and reduces the risk of damage during transport.

This innovative feature makes tunnel containers flexible and adaptable. They can be used for a wide range of storage and transportation requirements, such as being transformed into living spaces or mobile offices. They're also made of rugged, corrosion-resistant Corten steel they can withstand the most extreme weather conditions.

If you're looking for a safer alternative, we can join in steel bulkheads onto one of the long sides of the container, creating two separate storage compartments measuring 10 feet. This makes them perfect for self-storage businesses that want to increase security by the items of their customers into separate areas. Our double-end door containers are popular for use at large events as ticket entrances because they can handle large crowds and keep them dry.

Our 20ft double door tunnel containers feature fork pockets that are suitable for industrial forklifts. This means that they can be easily stacked or lifted at the corners of each long side. We've also fitted PIR insulation and heaters to these containers, making them suitable for year-round storage.

If you're looking for a more customized container solution We can also create custom-sized tunnel containers to match your specific requirements. We can create tunnel containers with single or double-sided designs, and different lengths. Custom-sized tunnel containers are more expensive than regular shipping containers, so we suggest choosing the smallest size that will meet your needs.

Temperature-Sensitive Goods

The storage of the most hazardous goods such as explosives or flammable liquids is best handled at the right temperature. Any fluctuations in temperature can affect their stability, and lead to a combustion 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 often be difficult to spot, particularly in a busy workday. This is the reason it's vital that container terminals have systems that provide real-time temperature monitoring for all reefer containers in their facility. This enables personnel to respond swiftly to any issues and prevent any risks.

Tunnel containers are a practical option when it comes to transporting and storing temperature-sensitive goods. Double doors are found at both ends of the container, which makes it easier to load and unload during transport and storage. They can also be used to store bulky items, such as machinery and vehicles.

These containers are typically constructed from a standard 20ft or 40ft shipping container, the solid end is taken away and a new set of double doors welded in place, creating two-way access. These modified containers are often employed on construction sites where heavy machinery has to be passed over and under.

Certain container terminals convert their tunnel shipping containers into secure entrances for their site with a turnstile installed as people pass through. These conversions, which are not available in standard sizes, can be easily customized to meet specific requirements. They are also more cost-effective than building a complete facility. Tunnel containers are usually only available in a "one-trip" condition, as their owners create them specifically for a certain use and then retain them. They are sought-after by those who want to expand their business or warehouse without having to invest in brand new refrigeration facilities. 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


If you're looking for a storage space for your cargo, tunnel containers are a convenient option. They have double doors at both ends, in contrast to a standard dry storage container which only has one door. This lets you access your storage container from either side. This makes it easier to load and unload goods.

This dual entry point can be particularly beneficial when storing goods that require frequent access, for example, machinery and equipment. This means that you don't have to constantly reverse vehicles in and out of the container, which can damage both your vehicle and the container.

You can also utilize a tunnel container for store items that you need to keep at a specific temperature. The refrigerated and thermal tunnel containers are ideal for this since they have temperature controls that ensure the items stored in them are kept at a specific temperature.

40ft tunnel container COG Containers LTD is an ideal solution for a garage or workshop. It allows you to reach all parts of your workspace easily without having to move furniture. Dual doors at each end allow you to quickly enter and exit your storage container when needed.

One-trip tunnel containers are offered as new constructions that come with two sets of double doors, or modified shipping containers. In the latter scenario the solid end of the container is removed and a set of double doors welded in place at each end of the container.

Shipping containers such as these are usually only available as new in a 'one-trip condition' because their owners have built them specifically for a certain purpose and don't want them to be sold. Some companies still offer renovated tunnel containers. These refurbished containers have been inspected to ensure they're safe to transport and are sold with a warranty that is extended to provide additional peace of mind.

Easy Transportation

Double cargo doors on both sides of the tunnel container make it simple to unload and load goods from either end. They are perfect for transporting bulk and general cargo, as well as specific objects like automobiles or motorbikes. These containers are often used to create temporary tunnels on construction sites due to their durability, safety and flexibility in modifying.

Shipping containers with double doors make for excellent storage. Having access to both sides of the container eliminates the necessity to completely empty the goods or take a portion of the container in order to access the stuff stored in the back, which will save time and money. Furthermore, the doors at both sides can be locked to stop unauthorized access.

These containers are very durable, and because they're constructed of corten steel they're designed to endure harsh weather conditions. They are water and wind-proof, and feature ventilation to allow airflow. These features protect items from moisture, decreasing the risk of spoilage and loss.

Based on your needs You can pick from a variety of options for a tunnel container. For instance, open top containers have an open bow-top that can be removed to allow for easier loading of heavy and large cargo. Side-open containers are equipped with doors on the sides, which makes them ideal for storage of small items. A refrigerated ISO container, or reefer, has a regulated temperature and can be used to store temperature-sensitive goods.

They are available in new and refurbished versions in sizes of 40 and 20 feet with doors at both ends to make it easy loading. These containers can be customized to meet your specific needs but will cost more than a standard double-end door container.
