Advantages of a Tunnel Container
A tunnel container comes with double doors on both sides which makes it easy to access cargo from either end. This makes it ideal for the storage of large items like vehicles and machinery.
Often used for site security as turnstiles and entry points, their dual entrances also make them ideal for containerised self storage in which the installation of a partition could split the 20ft units into two 10ft ones.
Easy Accessibility
The primary difference between tunnel containers and other traditional shipping containers is that tunnel containers come with doors on both sides. This dual access point makes it much easier to load and unload cargo and is a huge advantage for companies with particular requirements when it comes to storage and transportation.
Our client required a space to store large machines and tools for the maintenance of their railway centric site. We constructed an access point on the long side of two shipping containers, with PIR insulation, and heaters, so that the space could be used all year round. We also added lighting, double sockets and a 16A power supply.
Tunnel containers are the ideal workspace to store their valuable equipment away from the view of the public while still allowing their employees to easily access it to perform maintenance and repair. The units are placed on a raised platform in order to protect their contents from weather damage and to prevent flooding.
We can install manual or electric rollers to create a secure entrance point for customers with the permanent requirement for tunnel containers. This is a great option for sites that require security checks to be conducted when people enter and exit the premises.
Tunnel containers can be fitted with a retractable top to create a fully enclosed, windproof and waterproof environment. This will shield you from the elements while in transit or storage. This is especially beneficial for businesses with sensitive materials that must be kept at a steady temperature, such as pharmaceuticals or food items.
Our customers have utilized our tunnel containers for a wide range of uses such as retail and housing to on-site office space and even as booths for trade shows. We have a range of brand new one-trip containers available in both Florida and Nashville. This means that we can locate a solution that will satisfy your requirements. Alternatively, we can convert your container into a tunnel by constructing a wall at one end. Our team are happy to discuss your ideas and assist you with any enquiries.
Easy Stuffing and De Stuffing
Stuffing and de-stuffing shipping containers is a major operation. It requires planning, warehouse workers and the right equipment to ensure that the task is completed quickly and efficiently. It also takes up lots of storage space at the facility for stuffing and the warehouse which receives the container.
When packing a container, the most important thing you do is ensure that all the items you need will fit comfortably in the box. This will reduce the damage your cargo might be subject to due to compression or shifting during transportation. You will want to allow enough space to handle and inspect your goods. The container must be examined to ensure that the seal is still intact and that all doors are closed.
Another benefit of the tunnel container is that it permits you to access your items from both ends. This is crucial because it makes it easier to get your goods in and out of the container. This feature is particularly useful when the container is used as a storefront or for security reasons.
The typical double doors are located on both sides of a single-trip tunnel shipping container. This makes it easy to load or unload cargo. This makes it perfect for storing large and bulky items such as machinery or vehicles. Self-storage facilities use these units to store and rotate items that they don't use on a regular schedule. Additionally portable space can be used to weld in steel bulkheads inside the container to create two distinct storage compartments if you need security for your goods.
The tunnel shipping container can be used to transport dangerous goods or materials. It's a convenient and secure alternative to transporting items in a truck or van and protects the contents from insects and weather. It also provides better security for valuables and sensitive equipment. It's a great choice for shipping smaller than container loads (LCL), which can help reduce the risk of goods getting damaged or missing in transit.
Easy Loading & Unloading
Tunnel containers are ideal if you're trying to transport cargo that requires easy access. They come with a double cargo door at both ends, making it easier to load and unload cargo. They're also often cheaper than side-opening container. This makes them an excellent alternative when you're transporting heavy, bulky items.
A tunnel container may also improve your business by increasing storage capacity. They're usually a little larger than traditional shipping containers, meaning they can accommodate more cargo. They can also be modified to meet a specific need. They can be made into a container to transport cars, like car carriers.
Tunnel Containers can also be transformed into a temporary ticket entrance or bridge for large events. Portable Space can weld in steel bulkheads to create two separate 10ft storage compartments inside the 20ft tunnel container to provide an economical option than purchasing two regular containers. This is ideal for self-storage businesses who wish to provide their clients with greater access to their premises.
These containers are also great for construction sites. They can be converted to allow a secure passage through a construction site, with both sides of the container accessible and locked. This allows workers to move through the tunnel, while keeping any unwelcome traffic out of the area.
You can also convert tunnel containers to security by installing a turnstile or an automated secure entry checkpoint when users pass through the container. Tunnel containers can be bought new from manufacturers or bought second-hand and then converted for specific purposes, such as retail or on-site housing.
Tunnel containers are a versatile solution for a variety of uses, from shipping to storage and conversion. They are available in a variety of sizes and can also be transported via railway, road or sea. They're also ISO-certified and CSC-plated. This means that they comply with international standards of intermodal transportation. This makes them a great option for your next project. Contact our team to discuss your options if interested.
Easy Maintenance
The 40ft high Cube Double Door Tunnel Container is equipped with access doors at both ends, which allow users to load cargo in any direction. This increases efficiency and allows for greater flexibility in storage and transport. Additionally, the increased height offers more vertical space for taller objects and makes this container ideal for storage and shipping oversized or over-height cargo.
Tunnel containers also have ventilation ports that prevent moisture from building up and protect your cargo against condensation. This feature is particularly useful in areas where extreme environmental conditions are prevalent. The robust construction of these containers guarantees longevity and makes them a good investment for long-term usage.
Our used and new thermal-tunnel containers are insulated and regulate the temperature in order to keep certain types of cargo. They are therefore ideal for transporting delicate items like fresh fish and other produce. Our refrigerated ISO container is also designed to protect delicate cargo from temperature fluctuations during transport.
