Tunnel Containers

As the name suggests the main feature of a tunnel containers is the dual-door design on each side of the container. This greatly increases access, making them ideal for storage and handling.

They are popular for converting into self storage units because you can divide them by constructing an enclosure wall. We have helped clients utilize them for plant machinery storage and secure access to the site with turnstiles.

Dual Access


A tunnel container is an altered version of the standard shipping container that has double doors at both ends. They are also referred to as a "double door end container" or a "tunnel-shaped container". They provide access to the storage items at both ends.

Dual-end access permits cargo to be loaded or unloaded at either end of the container. This is a great option for transporting heavier or bigger items that need to be removed from and into the box. Double-end access removes the need to empty the entire container in order to access the items that are buried inside, which saves time and reducing the risk of damage.

This innovative feature makes tunnel containers adaptable and flexible. They can be used for a diverse range of storage and transport needs, including being converted into living spaces or mobile offices. Because they're constructed of tough, corrosion-resistant Corten steel they are able to endure even the most extreme weather conditions.

If you are looking for a more secure solution, we can join steel bulkheads to one of the long sides, resulting in two storage compartments with a total of 10ft. Self-storage companies can use them to divide their customers' belongings into distinct areas, which increases security. Our double end door containers are also popular for use as ticket entrances at large events because they are able to easily accommodate crowds of people while keeping them dry.

Our 20ft double door tunnel containers come with fork pockets that can be used with industrial forklifts. This means they can easily be stacked or lifted from the corners of each side. They are also fitted with heaters and PIR insulation making them ideal for storage throughout the year.

If you're looking for a more customized container solution we can also make custom-sized tunnel containers to exactly meet your requirements. We can make containers in single- or double-sided models, as well as different lengths. Custom-sized tunnel containers are more expensive than regular shipping containers, so we recommend selecting the most suitable size that meets your needs.

Temperature-Sensitive Goods

Most dangerous goods like explosives, flammable liquids, and organic peroxides, require storage at the right temperature. Any temperature fluctuations could affect their stability, and cause fire or release toxic fumes. When storing temperature-sensitive hazardous goods, it's essential that container terminal facilities are equipped with the appropriate monitoring equipment to track and identify any anomalies or deviations from set temperatures.

Often these fluctuations can be difficult to identify, especially during the midst of a busy workday. This is why it's crucial that container terminals have an instrument that provides real-time temperature monitoring for all reefer containers inside their facility. This allows staff to react quickly to any abnormalities and prevent any risks.

Tunnel containers are a practical option when it comes to transporting and storing temperature-sensitive goods. Double doors are situated at both ends of the container, making it easier to load and unload during transport and storage. They can be used to store large objects like vehicles and machinery.

20 ft tunnel container modified containers are made from typical shipping containers of 20ft or fortyft. The solid end is removed and double doors is then welded to provide two-way access. These modified containers are typically employed on construction sites where heavy machinery has to be moved over and under.

Some container terminals transform their tunnel shipping containers into secure entrances to their sites by installing a turnstile when users pass through. These conversions, which are not available in standard sizes, can be easily customized to meet the needs of specific customers. They are also more affordable than building a whole facility. Tunnel containers are typically only available in a "new one-trip' type. This is because the owners build them for a specific purpose and then hold on to them for a period of time. They are highly sought-after by those who want to grow their business or warehouse without having to invest in brand new refrigeration facilities. They are also a very economical solution for those who want to store temperature-sensitive goods over long periods of time, or for transporting large volumes of cargo over long distances.

Convenient Storage

A tunnel container is an ideal option to store your cargo. These shipping containers have double doors at both ends of the container, unlike standard dry storage containers which have doors on one side. This means that you are able to access your storage container from either side, allowing for easier access and quicker loading and unloading of goods.

This dual entry point is particularly beneficial for storage containers that will be used to store goods that you need frequent access to like machinery or equipment. This means that you don't have to shift your vehicle in and out of the storage container on a regular basis and risk damaging both the container and your vehicle.

You can also keep your items in a tunnel container if you require an appropriate temperature. The thermal and refrigerator tunnel containers are great for this, as they have temperature control that keeps the contents at a specific temperature.

A tunnel container is a great solution for a workshop or garage. It lets you access all areas of your workspace without the need to move any furniture. The double doors at each end also let you access and exit your storage container quickly, in the event of need.

One-trip tunnel containers are available as new constructions, with two sets of double doors, or modified shipping containers. In the latter case the solid part of the container is removed, and two doors are welded in place at each end of the container.

Shipping containers such as these are usually only available as new in a 'one-trip condition' because their owners have built them for a particular purpose and don't want them to be sold. However, you are able to purchase refurbished tunnels from some companies that provide this particular type of container. The renovated containers have been tested to ensure that they are safe for transport and can be sold with a longer warranty for additional security.

Easy Transportation

Double cargo doors at both ends of the tunnel container make it simple to load and unload goods from either end. These containers are ideal for transporting general and bulk cargo, as well as specific items such as automobiles or motorbikes. These containers are commonly used to construct temporary tunnels on construction sites because of their durability, safety, and the ease of modification.

Shipping Containers with double doors are also ideal for storage. Being able to access both sides of the container means that there is no need to completely unload goods or take a portion of the container in order to access the items stored in the back, which can save time and money. The doors at both ends can be locked to protect unauthorised access.

These containers are constructed of corten steel and are designed to withstand harsh conditions. They are wind and watertight, and have ventilation to allow airflow. These features protect the goods from moisture, thus reducing the risk of loss and deterioration.

Based on your requirements depending on your needs, you can select from several options for a tunnel container. For example open top containers come with a removable bow-top that allows for easier loading of heavy and large cargo. Side-open containers have doors on the side which makes them ideal for the storage of small items. A refrigerated ISO container, or reefer, has a regulated temperature and can be used to store temperature-sensitive goods.

These containers are available in new and refurbished models in sizes of 20 and 40 feet, with doors on both ends to make loading easy. They can be tailored to meet your needs however, they will cost more than a standard double-end door container.
