Shipping Container Tunnel

Shipping container tunnels commonly referred to as double-end door containers, come with standard double doors on both sides of the container, which effectively creates a tunnel once opened. This allows easy access and greatly enhances the convenience of loading and unloading cargo.

Tunnel containers are available in a new 'one trip' condition and can be used to complete a variety of conversion and storage projects. They are used by numerous customers to create small, storage spaces that are secure by splitting the middle.

COG Containers LTD shipping containers have two double doors on each side which makes it easier to access items stored than containers with just one set of doors. Self-storage businesses love them because they can make different storage spaces for various items. For instance, boxes and tools are kept in one place while furniture and other equipment is kept in the other.

Tunnel containers are also suitable for companies that require storage or transport of large or bulky objects e.g. construction firms, car dealerships and manufacturing companies. Due to their dual entry points, tunnel containers can be loaded or unloaded quicker than standard containers. This increases productivity, reduces costs and prevents costly delays.

Two tunnel containers, placed between each other can keep dozens safe of the wind and rain while they wait for their turn to be scanned or checked in.

Recently, we transformed two tunnel containers into a cozy gift shop for the railway heritage site. The shipping container tunnel was fitted out with two sockets and lighting for all year round use, using PIR insulation and heaters.

Easy Storage

One of the most important advantages of a shipping container tunnel is that it makes it easy to store your cargo inside.

This makes it easier to manage inventory and reduces time when loading or unloading.

Tunnel containers are also used by many of our clients as 'passages' during music events and festivals that help funnel crowds through a certain gap or area.

Shipping containers are able to keep moisture and dust out as well which can significantly increase the life span of the stored items.

Simple Loading & Unloading

Before you start building your tunnel container home it is crucial to keep in mind that the process of remodeling and conversion of a shipping container requires more than just the construction of walls. It is important to consider a number of factors, such as hiring an expert in the field of shipping container conversions.

The shipping container you choose should be identical in size to any other container you plan to connect. If the containers are not lined up correctly structural issues could arise.
