Shipping Container Tunnel
Shipping container tunnels, also known as double end door containers have standard double doors on both ends of the container, which creates a tunnel when opened. 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 are suitable to complete a variety of conversion and storage projects. They are used by many customers to create small, safe storage spaces, simply by splitting the middle.
Easy Access
Tunnel shipping containers have two double doors on each end which makes it easier to access items stored than containers with just one set of doors. Self-storage companies appreciate them due to the fact that they can make different storage areas for various items. For instance, boxes and tools are kept in one area while furniture and other equipment is kept in the other.
Tunnel containers are also suitable for businesses who need to store or transport large or bulky objects e.g. car dealerships, construction companies and manufacturing companies. Their dual entry points means that the contents of a tunnel container may be unloaded and loaded in less time than the typical container. This helps to increase efficiency, reduce costs and prevent costly delays.
The dual access points also make tunnel containers incredibly convenient for loading and unloading heavy items that are too large to fit through a single door e.g. Furniture, heavy machinery and automobiles. They can be used to accommodate forklift ramps and hand dollys, which are very useful for working in a noisy working environment.
Tunnel containers are weatherproof steel and can be used outdoors in a variety of different locations. Many of our customers use tunnel containers to keep guests and staff safe from the wind and rain when they are undergoing security checks for large events like concerts and festivals. Two tunnel containers placed end-to-end will keep dozens of people out of the rain and wind while they wait to be scanned or checked in.
We've also recently provided and converted a pair tunnel containers for an historic railway site that wanted to build a cozy gift shop. The tunnel for the shipping container was equipped with two sockets and lighting for all-year-round use, with PIR insulation and heaters. The customer was so thrilled with the result that they ordered another container to build a larger shop!

Easy Storage
One of the most important advantages of a shipping container tunnel is that it makes it easy to store your cargo inside. Tunnel containers are simpler to store than standard containers that require you to unload the entire container to get to the rear. This makes it much easier to manage your inventory and also saves you time when loading/unloading.
Tunnel containers also come with standard double doors on both walls, making them ideal for cargo storage. This feature will also keep the pests out of your storage. This is essential when you're storing perishable items or hazardous chemicals.
Due to their dual entry points, tunnel containers are also perfect for conversion into self storage units. Simply putting an internal partition down the middle of a shipping container can create two separate storage spaces of 10 feet which is ideal for companies that want to rotate their inventory without having to unload everything from both ends. Many of our customers use tunnel containers to serve as 'passages' at events and music festivals that allow them to funnel crowds into specific areas.
In the end, the versatility of the shipping container tunnel is what makes it an efficient solution for a broad range of applications. They can be transformed into portable warehouses, workshops, offices and much more. Storage is made easier with the double-end access system and weatherproof seals as well as the ability to store the container.
Shipping containers are made of corrosion-resistant Corten Steel which means they are able to handle extreme environments and frequent transport. They can also withstand high winds, and if they're covered, they will protect your possessions from rain, snow and dust.
The insulated 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 that can be affected by extremes in temperature. Shipping containers can keep dust and moisture out which can significantly increase the lifespan of the stored items.
Simple Loading & Unloading
It is essential to stack cargo vertically in a shipping tunnel, and then secure it with straps or load bars. This ensures that when the containers are being transported via rail or sea, the containers won't move around and cause damage. It's also a good idea to place heavier items at the the bottom of the container and lighter items at the top. Keep flammables away from other objects, and also any items that could be contaminated by liquids.
The double doors at the two ends of a tunnel container permit easy access to items in the middle of the container, where you might have trouble with the typical shipping container. Tunnel containers are ideal to store personal and business inventory. They are also utilized by a variety of self-storage companies that divide them down the middle to create two smaller stores, giving them easy access from both sides (where conventional containers could only have one entry point).
Tunnel containers can be modified just as easily as any other shipping container. You can also add windows and lighting, depending on what you need. They can also be transformed into workshops, offices or retail spaces.
It is recommended to conduct a thorough inspection before buying any storage solution. This includes ensuring that the container is in a dry and clean condition and free of any scratches, holes or tears. You should also look at the corners to ensure they're not damaged, and also ensure that all locking mechanisms are intact. You'll also want to make sure the container has an active CSC plate and is able to be loaded for international transport.

Before you start building your home in a tunnel container, it is important to remember that the process of renovating and changing the shape of a shipping container is more than just putting up walls. There are a variety of different steps that you should take into consideration, including hiring a professional in construction who specializes in shipping container conversions.
The right shipping container must be the same size as any other shipping container that you intend to connect. If the containers aren't lined up correctly, structural problems could occur. It's also essential to select containers that are in good shape, as older containers are more prone to corrosion and other damages in storage and transportation.
It's also worth considering what you're going to use the tunnel shipping container for prior to buying it. For instance, if you're using it to build a warehouse, it could be best to purchase a large cube container that has plenty of room. This will give you plenty of space to store and move things around. It also makes it easier to connect several shipping containers together when needed.
