Shipping Container Tunnel
Shipping container tunnels, also called double end doors, have the standard double-doors at both ends of the container. When opened they create tunnels. This allows for easy access, and greatly improves the convenience and ease of loading and unloading freight.
Tunnel containers are available in a new "one-trip" condition and can be used to complete a variety of conversion and storage projects. Many clients use tunnel containers to build small stores to store their items in a secure manner by dividing the space.
Easy Access
With a pair of standard double doors at both ends tunnel shipping containers provide an easier access to storage items than a standard container that has only one set of doors. This makes them incredibly popular with self-storage companies who use them to build separate storage areas for various types of items - for instance boxes and tools in one section and furniture or equipment in the other.
Tunnel containers are also great for businesses that require storage or transportation of large or bulky objects e.g. Car dealerships, construction firms and manufacturing firms. Their dual entry points mean that the contents of a tunnel container can be unloaded and loaded in a shorter time than the typical container. This improves productivity, decreases costs and avoids costly delays.
Dual access points make tunnel containers extremely efficient for removing and loading massive items that are too large to fit in one door. Furniture, heavy machinery and automobiles. They can easily be used to accommodate forklift ramps and hand dolly ramps, which are extremely beneficial in busy work environments.
Because they are made from weatherproof steel, tunnel containers can be utilized in a variety of outdoor locations. For example, many of our customers employ tunnel containers to keep their staff and guests out of the rain and wind during security checks at big events like concerts and festivals. Two tunnel containers arranged between each other can keep dozens safe of the rain and wind while they wait to be checked in or scanned.
We've also recently provided and converted a pair of tunnel containers for a railway heritage site who wanted to build a cozy gift shop. By using PIR insulation and heaters the shipping container tunnel was equipped with lighting and double sockets to allow for year-round use. The clients were so impressed with the results that they've since ordered another container from us to create an even bigger and better shop!
