Shipping Container Tunnel
Shipping container tunnels, also called double-end doors, are typical double doors on both sides of containers. When opened they form a tunnel. This makes it easy to access and greatly improves the ease of loading and unloading cargo.
Tunnel containers are available in a new "one trip" condition and can be used for a wide variety of conversion and storage projects. They are used by numerous customers to create small, storage spaces that are secure by partitioning the middle.
Easy Access
Tunnel shipping containers come with two double doors at each side making it much easier to access stored items than a container with only 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 area and furniture or equipment in the other.
Tunnel containers are also ideal for companies that require storage or transport of large or bulky objects e.g. automobile dealerships, construction firms and manufacturing companies. The dual entry points of tunnel containers means that the contents of a tunnel container may be unloaded and loaded in a shorter time than the typical container. This helps to increase efficiency, reduce costs and avoid costly delays.
Dual access points make tunnel containers extremely useful for loading and taking away large items, which are too large to fit through a single door. furniture, heavy machinery, and vehicles. They are able to accommodate fork lift ramps as well as hand dolly ramps which are extremely useful in busy workplaces.
Because they are made from weatherproof steel, tunnel containers can be utilized in a variety of outdoor locations. Many of our customers use tunnel containers to keep guests and staff safe from the elements of wind and rain during security checks for big events like festivals and concerts. Two tunnel containers placed end-to-end can keep a large number of people out of the elements while waiting to be scanned or checked into.
Recently, we converted two tunnel containers into an inviting gift shop for the railway heritage site. By using PIR insulation and heaters the tunnel for shipping containers was fitted with lighting and double sockets for year-round use. The clients were so impressed with the result that they've since ordered another container from us to make an even bigger and better shop!

Easy Storage
The ability to store cargo inside containers for shipping is among the most important features of tunnels. Unlike a standard container, which requires you to unload everything to get to the rear end tunnel containers allow the possibility of opening either end of the box for storage. This makes it easier to manage your inventory and saves you time when loading/unloading.
Tunnel containers come with standard double doors on both walls, which makes them ideal for cargo storage. This feature can also keep pests away from your storage space. This is crucial if you are storing dangerous chemicals or perishable goods.
Tunnel containers are ideal for self-storage units due their dual entry points. Simply adding an internal partition in the middle of a shipping container can create two separate storage spaces of 10 feet that are ideal for businesses that need to rotate their inventory without having to unload everything from both ends. A lot of our customers use tunnel containers as "passages" at music festivals and other events, allowing them to funnel crowds into a particular area.
Ultimately, the flexibility of the shipping container tunnel is what makes it such an effective solution for a broad range of applications. They can be transformed into everything from portable offices, warehouses, workshops and more. Storage is made easy through the double-end access, weatherproof seals and the capacity to store the container.
Shipping containers are constructed from corrosion-resistant Corten steel, which means they're able to withstand tough environments and frequent transportation easily. They also can withstand strong winds and, if they're covered, will protect your items from rain, dust and snow.
The roof and walls of the shipping container tunnel are insulated to keep temperatures steady, while also protecting your stored goods. This is especially important for perishable items or chemicals, which could be affected by extreme temperatures. Shipping containers can also keep dust and moisture out, which will increase the life span of your stored items.
Easy Loading and Unloading
It is important to stack cargo vertically in a shipping tunnel, and then fix it using straps or load bars. This is so that when the containers are being transported by rail or sea the containers don't move and cause damage. It's a good idea also to place heavier items at the bottom of container and lighter items on the top. Keep flammables clear of other objects, and also any items that could be contaminated with liquids.
Double doors at the ends of a tunnel container make it easier to access items located in the middle, which the standard shipping container might be difficult. Tunnel containers are perfect for storing both personal and business inventory. They are also utilized by a variety of self-storage companies that divide the containers in half to create two smaller stores, which gives easy access from both sides (where conventional containers would only have one entry point).
In addition to the dual door access tunnel containers can be modified as easily as other types of shipping container. You can also add windows and lighting, depending on what you need. They can be converted into office, retail or workshop spaces.
It is recommended to conduct a thorough inspection before purchasing any storage product. Also, make sure whether the container is dry and clean, and free of holes, tears or scratched. You should also examine the corners of the posts to ensure they're not damaged. Also, make sure that all locking mechanisms are functioning. You should ensure that the container is equipped with an active CSC plate, and is able to be loaded for international transportation.

Before you begin building your tunnel container home, it is important to remember that the process of remodeling and conversion of a shipping container requires more than just the construction of walls. There are many different steps you should consider for example, hiring a construction expert who is specialized in the conversion of shipping containers.
The selection of the appropriate shipping container is a crucial step, since it has to be the same size as the other shipping container you're planning to connect. Otherwise, there could be structural problems when the containers aren't lined up properly. It's important to select an item that is in good condition as older units are more prone to rust or other damage during storage and transport.

This will provide you with more space to move around and store items in addition to making it easier to connect several shipping containers together, if needed.
