Shipping Container Tunnel
Shipping container tunnels, also known as double-end door containers, come with standard double doors at both sides of the container, which effectively creates a tunnel once opened. This facilitates easy access and greatly improves the ease of loading and unloading cargo.
Tunnel containers are now available in a "one trip" condition and can be used for a wide variety of storage and conversion projects. They are used by many clients to create small storage spaces that are secure by splitting the middle.
Easy Access
With a pair of standard double doors at both ends, tunnel shipping containers offer the most convenient access to storage items than a normal container with just one set of doors. This makes them incredibly popular with self storage businesses who use them to create distinct storage areas for different types of items - for example boxes, tools and other items in one section and furniture or machinery in the other.
Tunnel containers are also ideal for companies that need to store or transport large or bulky items e.g. Car dealerships, construction firms and manufacturing firms. Due to their dual entry points, tunnel containers can be loaded or unloaded quicker than conventional containers. This allows for increased productivity, reduce costs and avoid costly delays.
Dual access points make tunnel containers extremely efficient for removing and loading massive items that are too large to fit through a single door. furniture, heavy machinery and vehicles. They can easily accommodate fork lift ramps as well as hand dolly ramps that are extremely useful in busy workplaces.
Tunnel containers are weatherproof and can be used outdoors in a variety of different places. For example, many of our customers employ tunnel containers to keep their staff and guests safe from rain and wind when security checks are conducted at large events such as concerts and festivals. Two tunnel container s arranged between each other can keep dozens safe of the wind and rain while they wait to be scanned or checked-in.
Recently, we transformed two tunnel containers into an inviting gift shop for an historic railway site. The shipping container tunnel was equipped with two sockets and lighting for all-year-round use, with PIR insulation and heaters. The customer was so happy with the results that they ordered a second container to build a larger shop!

Easy Storage
One of the most important advantages of a shipping container tunnel is that it makes it simple to store cargo inside. Contrary to a standard container which requires you to take it off everything to access the rear tunnel containers permit you to open each end of the container to store your items. This makes it easier to manage your inventory and saves your time when loading or unloading.
Tunnel containers have standard double doors on both walls, making them perfect for cargo storage. This feature can also help keep insects out of your storage space, which is crucial for those who plan to store perishable goods or hazardous chemicals.
Because of their dual entry points, tunnel containers are also ideal for converting into self-storage units. A shipping container can be divided into two separate storage areas of 10 feet by creating an internal partition. This is ideal for businesses that require the ability to rotate their stock quickly without having to remove it from both ends. Tunnel containers are also utilized by many of our customers as 'passages' at music events and festivals that help funnel crowds through a certain gap or area.
The versatility of a shipping container tunnel is what makes it effective for a variety of applications. They can be used as portable warehouses, workshops, offices, and more. Storage is made easier with the double-end access system and weatherproof seals as well as the capacity to store the container.
Shipping containers are made from corrosion-resistant Corten Steel which means they are able to endure harsh environments and frequent transport. They can also withstand strong winds and, if they're covered by a protective cover, protect your possessions from dust, rain and snow.
The walls and roof of the tunnels of shipping containers help to protect the stored goods as well as keeping temperatures steady. This is especially important for perishable items or chemicals, which could be affected by extreme temperature fluctuations. Shipping containers can keep dust and moisture out, which can significantly improve the longevity of your stored goods.
Easy Loading and Unloading
When loading cargo into the shipping container tunnel, it is important to stack the items vertically whenever feasible and secure them in place with straps or load bars. It is important to stack the containers vertically so they won't shift and cause damage when the containers are transported via rail or sea. It's also recommended to place heavier items at the bottom of the container and lighter ones on top. It is also important to keep flammable items from other items and anything else that might be affected by liquids, for example chemicals.
Double doors at both ends of a tunnel for containers make it easier to access items that are located in the middle, where access to an ordinary shipping container could be difficult to access. Tunnel containers are ideal for storing personal and business inventory. They are also used by numerous self-storage companies that divide them down the middle to create two smaller stores, allowing easy access from both sides (where the standard container could only have one entry point).
Tunnel containers can be modified as easily as any type of shipping container. This means you can include windows, lighting, and even windows according to your requirements. They can be transformed into office, retail or workshops.

Before you start building your tunnel container home it is essential to remember that the process of remodeling and converting a shipping container involves more than just putting up walls. You must consider a range of factors, including hiring an expert in the field of shipping container conversions.
The container you choose for shipping must be the same size as other shipping container that you plan to connect. If the containers are not properly aligned there could be structural issues that arise. It's crucial to select containers that are in good shape since older units are more susceptible to corrosion or other damage during storage and transit.
It's also worth assessing the purpose you intend to use the tunnel shipping container for before purchasing it. For instance, if using it to create an office space, it might be best to purchase a large cube container that has plenty of extra room. This will allow you plenty of room to store items and move them around. It will also make it easier to join several shipping containers together, if needed.
