Don't Believe In These "Trends" Concerning Tunnel Containers

Tunnel Containers

The key characteristic of tunnel containers as the name implies is the double doors at the two ends of the container. This greatly increases access, making tunnel containers ideal for storage and handling.

You can also turn them into self-storage units by adding an enclosure. We have also assisted customers utilize them to store plant machinery and offer secure access to their site using turnstiles.

Dual Access

Tunnel containers are modified version of standard shipping containers with double doors on both ends. Also known as a double end door container' or  tunnel container, these containers provide access to stored items from both ends.

The dual-end access allows for cargo to be loaded and unloaded from either side of the container. This is ideal when you're moving bulkier or larger items which would otherwise have to be backed into and out of the container. The double-end access also eliminates the need to unload the entire container in order to access the goods that are stored within, which saves time and decreases the chance of causing damage during transport.

This innovative feature makes tunnel containers versatile and flexible. They can be used for a diverse range of storage and transport requirements, such as being transformed into living spaces or mobile offices. These containers are constructed of durable, corrosion resistant Corten steel and are able to stand up to the most severe weather conditions.

If you are looking for security, we can weld steel bulkheads onto one of the long sides, creating two storage compartments that measure 10 feet. This makes them perfect for self-storage businesses that are looking to improve security by separating their customers' items into distinct areas. Our double end door containers are also popular as ticket entrances for large events because they are able to easily accommodate crowds of people while keeping them dry.

Our new 20ft double door tunnel containers have fork pockets that are suitable for industrial forklifts. This means that they are able to be stackable or lifted from the corners of each side. We've also installed PIR insulation and heaters to these containers which makes them suitable for storage all year round.


If you're looking for a custom-designed container we can also make custom-sized tunnel containers to meet your exact specifications. We can make containers in single- or double-sided versions, and different lengths. Custom-sized tunnel containers are more expensive than regular shipping containers, so we recommend selecting the most suitable size that is suitable for your needs.

Temperature-Sensitive Goods

The storage of most dangerous products like explosives or liquids that ignite is best done at optimal temperatures. Temperature fluctuations can cause various problems, such as 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.

These fluctuations can be difficult to detect, especially during the busy hours of a day. This is why it's crucial that container terminals use an instrument that provides real-time temperature monitoring across all reefer containers within their facility. This allows personnel to react quickly to any abnormalities, preventing any potential risks.

Tunnel containers are a practical option when it comes to transporting and storing temperature-sensitive goods. They are designed with double doors at both ends, which significantly improves accessibility and speeds loading and unloading procedures when warehousing and transportation. They can be used to store large items such as machinery or vehicles.

These containers are modified from regular shipping containers that measure 20 or 40 feet. The solid end is removed, and a set of double doors is welded into place to create a two-way entry. These modified containers are typically used on construction locations where heavy machinery needs to be able to pass over and under.

Certain container terminals convert their tunnel shipping containers into secure entrances to their sites by installing a turnstile when people pass through. These conversions, which aren't available in standard sizes, can be customized to meet specific requirements. They are also more affordable than building a whole facility. Tunnel containers are typically only available in a brand new "one-trip" model since their owners build them specifically for a certain purpose and then keep them. This makes them a highly sought after product for those wanting to expand their business or storage capacity in warehouses without having to invest in an entirely new refrigerated facility. 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 storage for your cargo, a tunnel container is an excellent option. These containers have double doors at both ends, in contrast to a traditional dry storage containers that only has a single door. This means you can enter your storage container from both sides and have easier access and quicker loading and unloading of goods.

This dual entry point can be particularly useful when storing goods that require frequent access, for example, machinery and equipment. This means that you don't have to continuously reverse vehicles into and out of the container, which could cause damage to your vehicle as well as the container.

You can also store goods in a tunnel container when you need to maintain an appropriate temperature. The thermal and refrigerated tunnel containers are perfect for this as they have temperature controls that ensure the contents inside are kept at a specific temperature.

In addition to offering easy access for your workers, a tunnel container is a perfect solution for a workshop or garage because it allows you to access every area of your workspace without the need to move things around. The two doors at each end allow you to access and exit the storage container quickly should you need to.

Our Site  can be built from scratch using two sets of double doors or modified from a standard shipping container. In the second instance the solid end is removed from the container, and a pair of double doors is welded to each end.

Containers for shipping are usually only available as new 'one-trip condition', since their owners have built them for a particular reason and don't want them to be sold. However, you can buy refurbished tunnel containers from some companies that offer this type of container. These refurbished containers are tested to ensure that they are safe for transport and are available with a longer warranty.

Easy Transportation

The double cargo doors at both ends of tunnel containers allow you to easily unload and load items from either end. They are perfect for transporting bulk and general cargo, as well as specific objects like automobiles or motorbikes. They are also frequently used as tunnels for temporary use at construction sites due to their security, durability, and ease of modification.

Shipping containers with double doors are also ideal for storage. Having access to both sides of the container eliminates the need to completely unload the goods or even remove a section of the container to reach the contents stored in the back, which could save time and money. Additionally, the doors on both sides can be locked to prevent unauthorized entry.

These containers are constructed of corten steel and are designed to withstand tough conditions. These containers are wind and watertight, and feature ventilation to ensure airflow. These features can protect items from moisture, decreasing the risk of loss and deterioration.

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

These containers are available in refurbished and new models in 20ft and 40ft sizes and have doors on both sides to make loading easy. These containers can be customized to meet your specific needs however, they will cost more than a standard double door container.
