Shipping Container Tunnel
Shipping container tunnels, also known as double end doors, have typical double doors on both sides of a container. When opened they create a tunnel. This allows easy access and greatly enhances the convenience of loading and unloading cargo.
Tunnel containers are now available in a "one-trip" condition and are suitable for a range of conversion and storage projects. Many customers utilize them to create small stores for secure storage - simply by dividing them down the middle.
Easy Access
Tunnel shipping containers come with two double doors at each end making it much easier to access stored items than a container with only one set of doors. This makes them extremely popular with self storage companies who utilize them to create separate storage areas for different kinds of objects - for example boxes and tools in one area and furniture or machines in the other.
Tunnel containers are perfect for businesses that require to store large or bulky objects, e.g. car dealerships, construction companies and manufacturing companies. Their dual entry points means that the contents of a tunnel container may be loaded and unloaded in a shorter amount of time than the standard container. This can help increase productivity, reduce costs and avoid costly delays.
The dual access points also make tunnel containers extremely convenient for loading and unloading large objects that are too big to fit through a single entrance e.g. furniture, heavy machinery, and vehicles. They can be used to accommodate forklift ramps and hand dollys which are extremely helpful for working in a noisy working environment.
Tunnel containers are weatherproof steel and can be used outdoors in many different locations. For example our customers utilize tunnel containers to keep their staff and guests out of the rain and wind during security checks at big events such as concerts and festivals. Two tunnel containers, placed between each other can keep dozens safe of the rain and wind while they wait for their turn to be scanned or checked-in.
We've also recently supplied and converted two tunnel containers to an historic railway site that wanted to create a cosy gift shop. By using PIR insulation and heaters the shipping container tunnel was fitted with lighting and double sockets for all-year-round use. The customer was so thrilled with the results, that they purchased a second container to expand the shop!

Easy Storage
The ability to store cargo in the shipping container is among the most significant advantages of tunnels. Tunnel containers are much easier to store than conventional containers which require you to take the entire container to reach the rear. This makes it easier to manage inventory and also saves time when loading and unloading.

Tunnel containers are great for self-storage units due their dual entry points. A shipping container can be divided into two separate storage spaces of 10 feet by adding an internal partition. This is ideal for companies that require the ability to rotate their stock quickly without having to remove it from both ends. Tunnel containers are also utilized by a lot of our customers as 'passages' during festivals and music events which help to direct crowds through a certain gap or space.
The flexibility of a shipping container tunnel is what makes it effective for a variety of applications. They can be converted into everything from portable offices to warehouses, workshops and more. Storage is made simpler by the double-end access and weatherproof seals as well as the ability to store the container.

The insulated walls and roof of the tunnels of shipping containers help to protect your stored goods, and keep temperatures steady. This is particularly important for perishable items or chemicals that can be affected by extreme temperature fluctuations. Shipping containers can also keep moisture and dust out, which can improve the life span of your stored items.

Double doors at the ends of a tunnel container allows easier access to items that are located in the middle, which a standard shipping container may be difficult. This makes tunnel containers ideal for storage of inventory, both for personal and commercial use. Many self-storage companies use them as well. They split them in half to create two smaller stores, and allow easy access from both sides.
Tunnel containers can be modified as easily as any type of shipping container. This means you can include windows and lighting, depending on your needs. They can be converted into retail, office or workshops.
