Tunnel Containers
As the name suggests, the key feature of tunnel containers is the dual-door design at each end of the container. This greatly improves access and makes tunnel containers ideal for storage and goods handling.
They are also popular for converting into self storage units because they can be divided by constructing walls to divide them. We have also assisted customers make use of them to house plant machinery and offer secure access to their site using turnstiles.
Dual Access
A tunnel container is an alternative to a standard shipping container with double doors at both ends. It is also known as a 'double-end door container' or 'tunnel container' These containers allow access to stored items from both ends.
Dual-end access permits cargo to be loaded or unloaded from either side of the container. This is perfect for transporting larger or heavier items that need to be backed into and out of the box. Double-end access removes the need to empty the entire container to access the items that are buried within, thereby saving time and reducing the chance of damage.
This unique feature makes tunnel containers flexible and adaptable. They can be used to satisfy a variety of transportation and storage needs, as well as being transformed into mobile offices or living spaces. Because they're constructed of robust, corrosion-resistant Corten steel, these containers can withstand the most extreme weather conditions.
If you're looking for a more secure alternative, we can join in steel bulkheads onto one of the long sides of the container, resulting in two separate storage compartments of 10 feet. This makes them perfect for self-storage businesses that wish to enhance security by the items of their customers into distinct areas. Our double end door containers are also popular for use as ticket entrances at large events, as they're easily able to handle crowds while keeping them dry.
Our 20ft double-door tunnel containers feature fork pockets that are suitable for industrial forklifts. This means they are able to be stackable or lifted from the corners of each long side. We've also added PIR insulation and heaters to these containers which allows them to be used for storage all year round.
If you're looking for a more bespoke container solution, we can also manufacture custom-sized tunnel containers that match your specific requirements. We can produce them in both double-sided and single-sided models and also in various lengths. However, a custom-sized tunnel container will be more expensive than a standard shipping container, so we recommend choosing the size that is closest to your needs.
Temperature-Sensitive Goods
Most hazardous goods like explosives, flammable liquids and organic peroxides require storage at temperatures that are optimal. Temperature fluctuations can lead to a variety of problems, including a explosion and 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.
Sometimes, these fluctuations can be difficult to detect, particularly in the middle of a busy day. Container terminals need an instrument to monitor the temperature of all reefer containers within their facility. This allows staff to react quickly in the event of any abnormalities and prevent any risk.
Tunnel containers are a practical option when it comes to transporting and storing temperature-sensitive goods. They feature double doors at both ends, which significantly enhances accessibility and expedites loading and unloading procedures when warehousing and transportation. They can be used to store large objects like vehicles or machinery.
The modified containers are typically constructed from the standard 20 or 40 foot shipping container. The solid end is removed and the double doors are 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.
Some container terminals convert their tunnel shipping containers into secure site entrances with a turnstile installed as people pass through. Although these conversions aren't offered in standard sizes, they can be easily custom-made to suit specific requirements and are highly cost effective as compared to the construction of an entire facility from scratch. Tunnel containers are usually only available as a 'new one-trip' type. This is due to the fact that their owners construct them for a specific purpose and then keep them. tunnel container for sale are sought-after by those looking 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.

Open top containers, like, have a bow-top that can be removed to enable loading large and heavy cargo easier. Side-open containers have 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.
The containers are available in new and refurbished versions in sizes of 20 and 40 feet, with doors at both ends to make it easy loading. They can also be sized to meet your individual requirements, but this will cost more than the standard double-end door containers.
