5 Myths About Tunnel Containers That You Should Stay Clear Of
Tunnel Containers
As the name implies the main feature of a tunnel containers is the dual door design at the opposite end of the container. This significantly enhances access and makes them ideal for handling and storage of goods.
They are also popular for converting into self-storage units since you can divide them by adding an enclosure wall. We have helped customers make use of them for storage of plant machinery and secure access to the site with turnstiles.
Dual Access
Tunnel containers are modified version of standard shipping containers with double doors on both sides. They are also referred to as a "double end door container" or a "tunnel-shaped container". They allow access to the items stored at both ends.
The dual-end access allows for cargo to be loaded and unloaded from either side of the container, which is ideal if you're transporting larger or bulkier goods that otherwise would need to be backed in and out of the container. The double-end access eliminates the need to unload the entire container to access the items stored inside, which reduces time and reduces the risk of causing damage during transport.
This clever feature is what makes tunnel containers so flexible and adaptable. They can be used for a broad range of storage and transportation requirements, including being transformed into living spaces or mobile offices. Because they're constructed of robust, corrosion-resistant Corten steel they can withstand the most extreme weather conditions.
If you're looking for a more secure option, we can put in steel bulkheads onto one of the long sides of the container, resulting in two separate storage compartments measuring 10 feet. This makes them ideal for self-storage businesses that wish to enhance security by separating their customers' items into distinct areas. Double-end door containers are also popular as ticket entry points at large events because they can easily accommodate lines of people while keeping them dry.
Our new 20ft double door tunnel containers have fork pockets that can be used with industrial forklifts. This means that they can be easily stacked or lifted from the corners of each long side. These units are also equipped with heaters and PIR insulation which makes them ideal for year-round storage.
We can build tunnel containers with custom sizes to meet your exact specifications if you require an even more customized solution. We can make them in both single- and double-sided variants and in a variety of lengths. However the custom-sized tunnel containers is more expensive than a standard shipping container, so we recommend choosing the size that is closest to your needs.
Temperature-Sensitive Goods
The most dangerous products including explosives, flammable liquids and organic peroxides, must be stored at the right temperature. Temperature fluctuations can cause many issues, including explosion and 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 detect, particularly during the midst of a busy workday. Container terminals need an instrument to monitor the temperature of all reefer containers in their facility. This allows staff to react promptly to any anomalies and avoid any risk.
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 transportation and storage. They can be used to store large items like vehicles or machinery.
The modified containers are typically made from the standard 20 or 40 foot shipping container, the solid end is taken away and new double doors is welded into place, resulting in two-way access. These modified containers are commonly employed on construction locations where heavy machinery needs to be moved over and under.
Certain container terminals convert their tunnel shipping containers into secure site entrances by installing a turnstile when users pass through. Although these conversions aren't readily available in a standard size, they can be easily custom-made to suit specific requirements and are extremely cost-effective as compared to the construction of an entire facility from scratch. Tunnel containers are generally only available in a 'new one trip' condition. This is because the owners build them for a specific use and then retain them for a period of time. They are sought-after by those who want to grow their business or warehouse without the need to purchase new refrigeration equipment. 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 containers come with double doors on both ends of the container, which is different from conventional dry storage containers, which have doors on one side. This means that you are able to access the storage container from both sides, allowing for easier access and faster loading and unloading of items.
This dual entry point is particularly beneficial for storage containers that is used to store items you require frequent access to like machinery or equipment. It means that you don't have to continuously reverse vehicles in and out of the container, which can cause damage to your vehicle as well as the container.
You can also use a tunnel container to store goods that you need to keep at a particular temperature. The thermal and refrigerated tunnel containers are perfect for this because they come with temperature controls to ensure that the goods stored inside are kept at a specific temperature.
In addition to allowing easy access, a tunnel container is a great solution for a workshop or garage, as it allows you to access every area of your workspace without having to move objects around. The double doors at each end also let you access and exit your storage container quickly, if necessary.
One-trip tunnel containers can be constructed from new with two sets of double doors, or modified from a standard shipping container. In the latter case, the solid end of the container is removed and a set of double doors installed at each end of the container.
container tunnel materials shipping containers are generally only available in brand new one-trip condition, because their owners will have built them for a particular purpose and will not want to sell them on. Some companies still offer renovated tunnel containers. The refurbished containers are tested to ensure that they are safe for transport and are sold with a longer warranty.
Easy Transportation
The double cargo doors on both ends of a tunnel container make it easy to unload and load items from either end. These containers are ideal for transporting bulk and general cargo, as well as more specific items such as automobiles or motorbikes. These containers are often used to construct temporary tunnels on construction sites due to their durability, safety, and the ease of modification.
Shipping containers with double doors are very convenient for storage purposes. Having access to both sides of the container eliminates the necessity to completely empty the goods or take a portion of the container in order to access the contents stored in the back, which could save time and money. Furthermore, the doors at both sides can be locked to stop any unauthorized access.
These containers are extremely robust, and since they're made from corten steel, they're designed to endure harsh weather conditions. They are water- and wind-proof and have ventilation to allow airflow. These features can protect your items from moisture and decrease the risk of loss or loss or.
You can choose a variety of options for a container tunnel depending on your requirements. For example open top containers come with a bow-top that is removable, which allows for a simpler loading of large and heavy cargo. Side-open containers are equipped with doors on the sides, which makes them ideal for storing small items. A refrigerated ISO container, or reefer, has a regulated temperature and can be used to store temperature-sensitive goods.
The containers are available in refurbished and new models in 20ft and 40ft sizes with doors on both sides to make loading easy. They can also be customized to meet your individual requirements however this will cost more than the standard double-end door containers.
