Shipping Container Tunnel
Shipping container tunnels, also known as double door containers, have standard double doors on both sides of the container, which effectively creates a tunnel when opened. This allows for easy access, and greatly improves the convenience and ease of loading and unloading freight.
Tunnel containers can be bought in a "one-trip" condition which is suitable for various storage or conversion projects. They are used by numerous clients to create small secure storage areas, simply by splitting the middle.
Easy Access
Tunnel shipping containers have two double doors on each side which makes it easier to access stored items than a container with only one set of doors. Self-storage companies love them because they can make different storage spaces for various items. For example boxes and tools are stored in one section while furniture and machinery is kept in the other.
Tunnel containers are also ideal for companies that require storage or transport of large or bulky objects e.g. car dealerships, construction companies and manufacturing companies. Due to their dual entry points tunnel containers are able to be loaded or unloaded faster than standard containers. This helps to increase productivity, reduce costs and prevent costly delays.
The dual access points make tunnel containers extremely convenient for loading and unloading large objects that are too large to be accommodated in a single door e.g. Furniture, heavy machinery and cars. They can be used to accommodate forklift ramps and hand dollys, which are very useful for working in a noisy environment.
Since they are made of weatherproof steel tunnel containers can be employed in a variety outdoor locations. Many of our customers utilize tunnel containers to keep their guests and staff safe from the wind and rain during security checks for large events such as festivals and concerts. Two tunnel containers, placed between each other can keep dozens safe of the rain and wind while they wait to be scanned or checked-in.
Recently, we converted two tunnel containers into a cozy gift shop for a railway heritage site. The tunnel for the shipping container was fitted with double sockets and lighting for all year round use, using PIR insulation and heaters. The clients were so impressed with the result that they have since purchased another container from us to make an even larger and more attractive shop!

Tunnel containers are great for self-storage units due their dual entry points. A shipping container can be divided into two distinct storage areas of 10ft by creating an internal partition. This is ideal for businesses that require to rotate their inventory without the hassle of unloading from both ends. Many of our customers use tunnel containers to serve as 'passages' at events and music festivals which allows them to direct crowds into a particular area.

Shipping containers are constructed from corrosion-resistant Corten steel, meaning they're able to handle harsh environments and frequent transport easily. They also can withstand strong winds and, when covered, will protect your items from dust, rain and snow.
The insulated walls and roof of a shipping container tunnel also help to protect the stored goods and keep temperatures steady. This is especially important for perishable goods or chemicals that could be affected adversely by extremes of temperature. Shipping containers also help keep dust and moisture out, which can improve the longevity of your stored items.
Easy Loading & Unloading
When loading cargo into the tunnels of shipping containers, it's important to stack items vertically where possible and secure them by using straps or load bars. This ensures that when the containers are being transported by sea or rail the containers won't move around and cause damage. It's also a good idea to put heavier items at bottom of container and lighter items on top. Keep flammables away from other items, and anything that may be contaminated by liquids.
The double doors at both ends of a tunnel container make it easy to access items that are located in the middle of the container, where you may have difficulty with the typical shipping container. Tunnel containers are perfect to store personal and business inventory. They are also used by numerous self-storage businesses that partition them in the middle to create two smaller stores, allowing them access from both sides (where a standard container would only have one entry point).
Tunnel containers can be modified as easily as any type of shipping container. This means you can include windows and lighting, according to your requirements. They can be transformed into retail, office or workshops.
