Shipping Container Tunnel
Shipping container tunnels, also called double end doors, have the standard double-doors at both ends of containers. When they are opened they create a tunnel. This allows for easy access, and greatly enhances the ease and convenience of loading and unloading freight.
Tunnel containers can be bought in a "one-trip" condition that can be used for many storage or conversion projects. modern shipping containers use tunnel containers to create small storage units for secure storage - simply by dividing the space.
Easy Access
Tunnel shipping containers have two double doors on each side which makes it easier to access stored items than containers with just one set of doors. Self-storage companies appreciate them due to the fact that they can create different storage areas for various items. For example boxes and tools can be stored in one section while furniture and machinery is kept in the other.
Tunnel containers are also ideal for businesses who need to store or transport large or bulky items e.g. construction firms, car dealerships and manufacturing companies. Due to their dual entry points tunnel containers are able to be loaded and unloaded more quickly than standard containers. This improves productivity, decreases costs, and eliminates costly delays.
The dual access points also make tunnel containers extremely useful for loading and unloading large objects that are too large to fit through a single door e.g. Furniture, heavy machinery and automobiles. They are able to accommodate fork lift ramps and hand dolly ramps that are very useful in busy workplaces.
Tunnel containers are weatherproof steel and can be used outdoors in many different locations. Many of our customers use tunnel containers to keep guests and staff safe from the rain and wind during security checks for big events like festivals and concerts. Two tunnel containers placed end-to-end will keep dozens of people out of the rain and wind while they wait to be scanned or checked in.
We've also recently supplied and converted a pair of tunnel containers to an historic railway site that wanted to build a cozy gift shop. With the help of PIR insulation and heaters the shipping container tunnel was equipped with lighting and double sockets to allow for year-round use. The customer was so happy with the results that they ordered another container to expand the shop!
We have a variety of brand new "one trip" tunnel containers on hand and also used ones that have been converted. If you're interested in buying a tunnel container and would like to discuss the possibility, contact us and we can guide you through the options.
Easy Storage
One of the most significant features of a shipping tunnel is that it makes it easy to store your cargo inside. Tunnel containers are much easier to store than standard containers, which require you to unload the entire box to access the rear. This makes it much easier to manage your inventory and saves you time when loading/unloading.
Tunnel containers come with standard double doors on both end walls, making them perfect for cargo storage. This feature will also keep pests away from your storage. This is important if you are storing hazardous chemicals or items that are perishable.
Tunnel containers are great for self-storage units because of their dual entry points. By simply putting an internal partition in the middle of a shipping container will create two separate 10ft storage spaces which is ideal for companies that want to easily rotate their stock without having to remove everything from both ends. Tunnel containers are also used by a lot of our customers as 'passageways' at festivals and music events that help funnel crowds through a certain space or gap.
The versatility of a shipping container tunnel is what makes it efficient in a variety applications. They're able to be converted into anything from portable offices to workshops, warehouses and much more. Storage is made easier through the double-end access, weatherproof seals and the ability to store the container.

The insulated walls and roof of the tunnels for shipping containers help to protect the stored goods as well as keeping temperatures steady. This is particularly crucial for perishable goods or chemicals that can be affected by extremes in temperature. Shipping containers can also keep dust and moisture out, which can increase the life span of your stored items.
Easy Loading & Unloading
It is important to stack cargo vertically into a shipping tunnel and fix it using straps or load bars. It is essential to stack the containers vertically to ensure that they do not move and cause damage when the containers are transported via rail or sea. It's also recommended to place heavy items at the bottom of the container, and lighter ones at the top. Keep flammables away from other objects, and also anything that might be contaminated by liquids.
The double doors at the two ends of tunnel containers make it easy to access items in the middle of the container, areas where you might have trouble with the standard shipping container. Tunnel containers are perfect for storing both personal and business inventory. Many self-storage companies utilize them as well. They divide them in half to create two smaller stores and give them easy access from both sides.
In addition to the dual door accessibility of tunnel containers, they can be modified just as easily as any other type of shipping container. You can also add windows and lighting, depending on the requirements. They can be turned into retail, office or workshops.
Always conduct a thorough inspection before buying any storage solution. This includes checking that the container is in a clean and dry condition and free of cracks, tears or holes. Also, you should inspect the corners to ensure they're not damaged and check that all locking mechanisms are functioning. You'll also want to ensure that the container has an active CSC plate and is able to be loaded for international transportation.

But, before you begin building your home for your tunnel container it is important to keep in mind that the process of remodeling and converting an existing shipping container isn't just a matter of adding walls. You must consider a range of factors, including hiring an expert in the field of conversions for shipping containers.
The shipping container you choose should be identical in size to any other shipping container that you are planning to connect. If the containers are not aligned correctly there could be structural issues that arise. It's also essential to select a container that is in good condition, since older units can be susceptible to corrosion and other damages during transit and storage.
It's also important to consider what you'll use the tunnel shipping container for prior to buying it. If you intend to use it as storage space, for instance it's best to pick a container with a large cube. This will allow you plenty of space to store and move items around. It also makes it easier to join several shipping containers when needed.
