Tunnel containers can be purchased in a 'one-trip' condition that can be used for various storage or 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 provide much easier access to items stored than a regular container that has only one set of doors. This makes them extremely popular with self-storage companies who utilize them to create separate storage areas for various types of items - for instance boxes, tools and other items in one, and furniture or machines in the other.

Tunnel containers are ideal for businesses that require to store large or bulky objects, e.g. Car dealerships, construction firms, and manufacturing companies. Their dual entry points mean that the contents of a tunnel container can be loaded and unloaded in less time than the typical container. This improves efficiency, lowers costs and avoids costly delays.

The dual access points make tunnel containers extremely convenient for loading and unloading large objects that are too big to be accommodated in a single door e.g. furniture, heavy machinery and vehicles. They can easily accommodate fork lift ramps and hand dolly ramps that are very useful in busy workplaces.

Since they are made of weatherproof steel tunnel containers can be used in a variety of outdoor locations. Many of our customers utilize tunnel containers to keep guests and staff safe from the wind and rain during 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 for their turn to be checked in or scanned.

Recently, we renovated two tunnel containers into a cozy gift shop to an historic railway site. By using PIR insulation and heaters the tunnel for shipping containers was equipped with lighting and double sockets for year-round use. The client was so pleased with the result that they purchased a second container to expand the shop!

Tunnel containers are also used by many of our customers as 'passages' during festivals and music events, helping to funnel crowds through a specific gap or space.

They are also able to withstand powerful winds and, when covered by a protective cover, protect your possessions from dust, rain and snow.

The insulated walls and roof of the tunnels for shipping containers help to protect the stored goods and keep temperatures stable. This is especially important for perishable goods or chemicals that could be affected adversely by extremes of temperature. Shipping containers can also keep dust and moisture out, which will increase the life span of your stored items.

It is crucial to stack cargo vertically in a shipping tunnel and fix it using straps or load bars. It is important to stack the containers vertically so that they don't move and cause damage when the containers are moved by rail or by sea. It's also recommended to place heavier items at the bottom of the container and lighter ones at the top. It is also important to keep flammable items out of other items and anything else that could be in contact with liquids, such as for example, chemicals.

The double doors at the two ends of a tunnel container make it easy to access items in the middle of the container, areas where you might be unable to access them with the typical shipping container. Tunnel containers are great to store inventory for both commercial and personal use. They are also used by numerous self-storage businesses that partition them down the middle to create two smaller stores, which gives them access from both sides (where the standard container would only have one entry point).

In addition to the dual door access of tunnel containers, they can be modified just as easily as any other type of shipping container. This means you can add lighting and even windows, according to your requirements. They can also be converted into workshops, offices or retail spaces.

Always conduct a thorough inspection before purchasing any storage product. It is also important to ensure that the container is clean and dry and free of tears, holes or scratched. Check the corner posts for damage, and ensure that the locking mechanisms are in good condition. You'll want to ensure that the container has an active CSC plate, and is able to be loaded for international transportation.
