Shipping Container Tunnel
Shipping container tunnels, also referred to as double-end doors, have the standard double-doors at both ends of the container. When opened they form tunnels. This allows easy access and greatly increases the ease of loading and unloading cargo.
Tunnel containers are available in new "one trip" condition and are suitable to complete a variety of storage and conversion projects. Many customers utilize tunnel containers to build small stores to store their items in a secure manner by dividing them down the middle.
Easy Access
Tunnel shipping containers come with two double doors at each side making it much easier to access items stored than containers with just one set of doors. This makes them extremely popular with self storage companies who utilize them to create distinct storage areas for different types of items - for example, boxes and tools in one section and furniture or equipment in the other.
Tunnel containers are also great for businesses who require storage or transport of large or bulky objects e.g. automobile dealerships, construction firms and manufacturing firms. Due to their dual entry points tunnel containers can be loaded or unloaded faster than standard containers. This increases productivity, reduces costs and prevents costly delays.
The dual access points also make tunnel containers incredibly useful for loading and unloading large items that are too big to fit through a single door e.g. furniture, heavy machinery, and vehicles. They can accommodate hand dollys and forklift ramps which are extremely useful when working in a busy working environment.
Tunnel containers are weatherproof and can be used outdoors in a variety of different places. For example our customers use tunnel containers to keep their staff and guests safe from wind and rain during security checks at big events like concerts and festivals. Two tunnel containers arranged end-to-end will keep dozens of people out of the wind and rain while they wait to be checked in or scanned.
Recently, we renovated two tunnel containers into a cozy gift shop for the railway heritage site. The tunnel for the shipping container was fitted with double sockets and lighting for year-round usage, using PIR insulation and heaters. The customer was so thrilled with the results that they purchased a second container to build a larger shop!

Easy Storage
One of the most significant aspects of a shipping container tunnel is that it is simple to store cargo inside.

This helps you manage inventory and reduces time when loading/unloading.
Tunnel containers also have double doors standard on both walls, which makes them ideal for cargo storage. This feature will also keep the pests out of your storage. This is essential for storage of dangerous chemicals or perishable goods.
Tunnel containers are great for self-storage units due their dual entry points. A shipping container can be divided into two separate storage areas of 10ft by creating an internal partition. This is ideal for businesses who require to rotate their inventory easily without having to unload from both ends. Many of our customers use tunnel containers to serve as "passages" during music festivals and other events, allowing them to funnel crowds into a particular area.
The flexibility of a shipping container tunnel is what makes it efficient for a variety of applications. They can be transformed into everything from portable offices, warehouses, workshops and much more. Storage is made easy by the double-end access and weatherproof seals as well as the capacity to store the container.
Shipping containers are made of corrosion-resistant Corten Steel, which means they can be used in harsh environments as well as frequent transport. They also can withstand strong winds and, if covered by a protective cover, protect your possessions from dust, rain and snow.
The walls and the roof of the shipping container tunnel are insulated to help keep temperatures stable while also protecting the stored items. This is particularly crucial for perishable items or chemicals that can be affected adversely by extremes of temperature. Shipping containers can also keep moisture and dust out, which can improve the lifespan of your stored items.
Easy Loading and Unloading
When loading cargo into the tunnels of shipping containers, it is important to stack the items vertically whenever possible and secure them in place by using straps or load bars. This ensures that when the containers are transported by sea or rail the containers don't move and cause damage. It's also an ideal idea to put heavier items on the bottom of the container, and lighter ones on top. Keep flammables out of other items, as well as any items that could be contaminated with liquids.
The double doors at both ends of tunnel containers allow easy access to items inside the container, areas where you might be unable to access them with the standard shipping container. This makes tunnel containers ideal for storage of inventory, both for personal and commercial use. They are also used by numerous self-storage businesses that partition them in the middle to create two smaller stores, giving easy access from both sides (where conventional containers would only have one entry point).
In addition to the dual door accessibility tunnel containers can be modified just 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.
Always perform a thorough inspection prior to buying any storage solution. This includes checking that the container is in a clean and dry condition and free of any scratches, holes or tears. Also, you should inspect the corner posts to make sure they're not damaged and check that all locking mechanisms are intact. You'll want to ensure that the container is equipped with an active CSC plate, and can be loaded for international transport.

There are a variety of different steps involved that you should take into consideration for example, hiring a professional in construction who is specialized in conversions of shipping containers.
The selection of the appropriate shipping container is another important process, as it has to be the same dimensions as the other shipping container you're planning to connect. If the containers are not aligned correctly, structural problems could occur. It's also crucial to select containers that are in good condition, as older containers can be vulnerable to corrosion and other damages during storage and transport.
