Tunnel Containers
As the name implies the most important feature of a tunnel containers is the dual door design at each end of the container. This greatly improves access, making them ideal for storage and goods handling.
You can also turn them into self-storage units with the addition of a partition. We have also helped clients use them to house plant machinery and offer secure access to their site using turnstiles.
Dual Access
A tunnel container is a modified version of the standard shipping containers with double doors on both ends. They are also referred to as a "double door end container" or a "tunnel-shaped container". They allow access to the stored items on both ends.
Dual-end access allows cargo to be loaded and unloaded at either end of the container. This is ideal for transporting heavier or bigger items that need to be backed into and out of the box. The double-end access also eliminates the need to unload the entire container to get to goods stored deep inside, which reduces time and minimizes the risk of causing damage during transport.
This nifty feature is what makes these tunnel containers so flexible and adaptable. They can be used for a wide range of storage and transport needs, including being converted into living spaces or mobile offices. They're also made of robust and corrosion-resistant Corten steel they can withstand the harshest weather conditions.
If you're looking for an extra secure solution we can join steel bulkheads to one of the long sides, creating two storage compartments with a total of 10ft. This makes them ideal for self-storage businesses that wish to enhance security by the items of their customers into distinct areas. Our double-end door containers are very popular at large events as ticket entrances, as they can accommodate large crowds and keep them dry.
Our new 20ft double-door tunnel containers are fitted with fork pockets that are suitable for large industrial forklifts which means they can be easily stacked or lifted from the corners of both sides. These containers are also outfitted with heaters and PIR insulation which makes them ideal for year-round storage.
If you're after a more customized container solution we can also make custom-sized tunnel containers to match your specific requirements. We can make them in single- or double-sided models, as well as different lengths. However, a custom-sized tunnel container is more expensive than the standard shipping container, so we suggest getting the closest size to your requirements.
