Shipping Container Tunnel
Shipping container tunnels, also known as double door containers, have normal double doors on both ends of the container, which effectively creates a tunnel when it is opened. This facilitates easy access and greatly increases the ease and convenience of loading and unloading freight.
Tunnel containers are now available in a "one trip" condition and are suitable to complete a variety of storage and conversion projects. Many customers utilize them to create small stores for safe storage by partitioning down the middle.
Easy Access
With a pair of standard double doors at both ends tunnel shipping containers give an easier access to items stored than a normal container that has only one set of doors. Self-storage companies appreciate them due to the fact that they can make different storage areas for various items. For instance boxes and tools are kept in one area while furniture and other equipment is kept in the other.
Tunnel containers are also ideal for companies that need to store or transport large or bulky objects e.g. Construction firms, car dealerships, and manufacturing companies. Due to their dual entry points tunnel containers can be loaded and unloaded more quickly than standard containers. This helps to increase productivity, reduce costs and prevent costly delays.
Dual access points make tunnel containers efficient for removing and loading large items, which are too large to fit through a single door. furniture, heavy machinery, and vehicles. They can be used to accommodate hand dollys and forklift ramps which are extremely helpful when working in a busy environment.
Because they are made from weatherproof steel tunnel containers can be used in a variety of outdoor settings. For example many of our clients utilize them to keep their staff and guests out of the wind and rain during security checks at big events such as concerts and festivals. Two tunnel containers, placed end-to-end can keep dozens out of the wind and rain while they wait for their turn to be checked in or scanned.
Recently, we converted two tunnel containers into a cozy gift shop for a railway heritage site. Using PIR insulation and heaters the tunnel for shipping containers was equipped with lighting and double sockets for year-round use. The customer was so thrilled with the results that they ordered a second container to create a bigger shop!

Easy Storage
One of the most important features of a shipping tunnel is that it is easy to store cargo inside. Tunnel containers are simpler to store than standard containers that require you to unload the entire box in order to reach the rear. This makes it easier to manage inventory and reduces time when loading and unloading.
In addition, tunnel containers come with standard double doors on both end walls, making them perfect for storage for cargo. This feature also keeps insects out of your storage space. This is important when you're storing hazardous chemicals or items that are perishable.
Tunnel containers are perfect for self-storage units due to their dual entry points. By simply putting an internal partition through the middle of a shipping container will create two separate storage spaces of 10 feet, which is perfect for businesses that need to move their stock around without having to remove everything from both ends. Many of our customers use tunnel containers to serve as 'passages' at music festivals and other events which allows them to direct crowds into a specific area.
The versatility of a shipping container tunnel is what makes it such an effective solution for a wide range of applications. They can be converted into everything from portable offices to workshops, warehouses and much more. Storage is made easier through the double-end access, weatherproof seals and the capacity to store the container.
Shipping containers are made from corrosion-resistant Corten Steel which means they are able to be used in harsh environments as well as frequent transport. They can also withstand high winds, and if they're covered, they will protect your items from snow, rain and dust.
The roof and walls of the tunnel for shipping containers are insulated to ensure temperatures remain stable while also protecting your stored goods. This is especially crucial for perishable goods or chemicals that can be affected by extremes in temperature. Shipping containers can also keep moisture and dust out, which can improve the life span of your stored items.
Easy Loading & Unloading
When loading cargo into the tunnels of shipping containers, it is important to stack the items vertically when possible and secure them in place with load bars or straps. This ensures that when the containers are transported by sea or rail the containers won't shift around and cause damage. It's also a good idea to have heavier items at the bottom of the container, and lighter ones at the top. Keep flammables away from other items, and anything that may be contaminated with liquids.
container tunnel buildings at both ends of a tunnel container allow easy access to items that are located in the middle of the container, areas where you might have trouble with a standard shipping container. This makes tunnel containers ideal for storing inventory for both commercial and personal use. They are also used by numerous self storage companies who partition them down the middle to create two smaller stores, allowing them easy access from both sides (where the standard container could only have one entry point).
In addition to the dual door accessibility of tunnel containers, they can be modified as easily as other kinds of shipping container. You can also include windows and lighting depending on the requirements. They can also be converted into offices, workshops or retail spaces.
If you're in the market for a tunnel for your shipping container or any other storage solution, you'll need to conduct a thorough inspection prior to purchasing. This includes ensuring that the container is in a clean and dry condition and free of any holes, tears or scratches. Check the corners for damage and ensure that all locking mechanisms are in good condition. Also, you should ensure that the container has an appropriate CSC plate and is capable of being loaded for international transportation.

Before you begin building your tunnel container home, it is important to keep in mind that the process of remodeling and converting a shipping container involves more than simply putting up walls. There are a variety of different steps you should take into consideration such as hiring a professional in construction who specializes in the conversion of shipping containers.
Choosing the right shipping container is an additional process, as it has to be of the same size as the other shipping container you're planning to connect. In the event of a mismatch, you could face structural issues when the containers aren't lined up correctly. It's also important to choose containers that are in good condition, since older containers are more prone to corrosion and other damage during transit and storage.
Before purchasing a tunnel-shipping container, you should consider what you will use it for. For instance, if you're using it to build a warehouse, it may be better to choose an elevated cube container that has plenty of space. This will provide you with more space to move around and store things, as well as making it easier to connect multiple shipping containers if required.
