Shipping Container Tunnel
Shipping container tunnel commonly referred to as double end door containers have standard double doors at both ends of the container, which effectively creates a tunnel once opened. This allows easy access and greatly enhances the ease of loading and unloading cargo.
Tunnel containers are available in new 'one trip' condition and can be used to complete a variety of conversion and storage projects. They are utilized by a variety of clients to create small storage spaces that are secure by partitioning the middle.
Easy Access
With a pair of standard double doors at both ends, tunnel shipping containers offer much easier access to items stored than a normal container with just one set of doors. Self-storage companies love them because they can be used to create storage areas for various things. For instance, boxes and tools are kept in one area while furniture and other equipment is kept in the other.
Tunnel containers are also ideal for companies that require storage or transport of large or bulky items e.g. car dealerships, construction companies and manufacturing companies. Due to their dual entry points, tunnel containers can be loaded or unloaded quicker than standard containers. This helps to increase efficiency, reduce costs and avoid costly delays.
The dual access points make tunnel containers extremely useful for loading and unloading large objects that are too large to fit through a single door e.g. Furniture, heavy machinery and automobiles. They can accommodate hand dollys and forklift ramps which are extremely helpful when working in a busy environment.
Tunnel containers are weatherproof and can be used outdoors in many different locations. For example many of our clients use tunnel containers to keep their staff and guests out of the rain and wind when security checks are conducted at large events like concerts and festivals. Two tunnel containers placed end-to-end will keep a multitude of people from the elements while waiting to be scanned or checked into.
Recently, we converted two tunnel containers into a cozy gift shop for a railway heritage site. Using PIR insulation and heaters the shipping container tunnel was equipped with lighting and double sockets to allow for year-round use. 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 significant features of a shipping tunnel is that it makes it easy to store your cargo inside.

Simply putting an internal partition through the middle of a shipping container can create two separate 10ft storage spaces that are ideal for companies that want to move their stock around 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.
The flexibility of a shipping container tunnel is what makes it such an efficient solution for a variety of uses. They can be transformed into portable warehouses, workshops, offices and much more.

Shipping containers are made from corrosion-resistant Corten Steel which means they are able to be used in harsh environments as well as frequent transport. They can also withstand high winds, and when covered, they will protect your possessions from rain, snow and dust.
The walls and roof of the tunnel used for shipping are insulated to keep temperatures stable while also protecting your stored goods. This is especially crucial for perishable items or chemicals that can be affected negatively by extremes in temperature. Shipping containers also help keep moisture and dust out, which can increase the longevity of your stored items.
Easy Loading and Unloading
When loading cargo into a shipping container tunnel it is essential to stack items vertically when possible and secure them with load bars or straps. It is essential to stack the containers vertically so they won't shift and cause damage when the containers are transported via railway or sea. It's also recommended to place heavier items on the bottom of the container and lighter ones on top. You should also keep flammable items away 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 allow easier access to items located in the middle, where access to an ordinary shipping container could be difficult. This makes tunnel containers ideal for storing inventory for both personal and commercial use. Many self-storage companies utilize these containers too. They break them into half to create two smaller stores and give easy access from both sides.
In addition to the dual door accessibility of tunnel containers, they can be modified as easily as other kinds of container for shipping. 20 ft tunnel container means that you can add windows and lighting, depending on your requirements. They can be transformed into office, retail or workshop spaces.
Always perform a thorough inspection prior to purchasing any storage product. This includes ensuring that the container is in clean and dry condition and free of any holes, tears or scratches. Examine the corners for damage and ensure that all locking mechanisms are in good shape. You'll also want to ensure that the container is equipped with a valid CSC plate and is able to be loaded for international transportation.

Before you start building your tunnel container home it is essential to keep in mind that the process of renovating and converting a shipping container involves more than just putting up walls. You must consider a range of factors, such as hiring an expert in shipping container conversions.
The container you choose for shipping must be the same size as other container you intend to connect. If the containers aren't lined up correctly there could be structural issues that arise. It is essential to choose a container in good condition as older units are more susceptible to corrosion or other damage during storage and transport.
