How To Beat Your Boss In Tunnel Containers
Tunnel Containers
As the name suggests the most important feature of a tunnel container is the dual-door design at each end of the container. This greatly increases access and makes tunnel containers ideal for storage and goods handling.
You can also convert them into self-storage units with the addition of the partition. We have also helped clients make use of them to house equipment for their plants and to provide secure access to the site with turnstiles.
Dual Access
A tunnel container is an altered version of a standard shipping container with double doors at both ends. It is also known as a 'double-end door container' or a 'tunnel container' These containers allow access to stored items from both ends.
The dual-end access permits cargo to be loaded and unloaded from both sides of the container, which is ideal for transporting heavier or bulkier items that otherwise would need to be backed in and out of the container. Double-end access also removes the necessity of unloading the entire container to access the items stored within, which can be time-saving and reduces the risk of causing damage during transportation.
This nifty feature is what makes these tunnel containers so versatile and flexible. They can be used for a broad range of storage and transport needs, including being converted into living spaces or mobile offices. Because they're constructed of robust and corrosion-resistant Corten steel These containers are able to endure even the harshest weather conditions.
If you're looking for a safer option, we can put in steel bulkheads on one of the long sides of the container, creating two separate storage compartments measuring 10 feet. Self-storage companies can make use of them to divide their customers' belongings in different areas, which increases security. Double-end door containers are also popular as ticket entry points at large events, since they're easily able to accommodate lines of people while keeping them dry.
Our new 20ft double-door tunnel containers come with fork pockets suitable for large industrial forklifts which means they can be easily stacked and lifted from the corners of both sides. They are also fitted with PIR insulation and heaters making them ideal for storage during the entire year.
If you're looking for a more customized container solution We can also create custom-sized tunnel containers to match your specific requirements. We can create containers in single- or double-sided versions, and different lengths. However, a custom-sized tunnel container is more expensive than a standard shipping container, so we suggest getting the closest size to your requirements.
Temperature-Sensitive Goods
The most dangerous products, such as explosives, flammable liquids and organic peroxides, require storage at optimal temperatures. Temperature fluctuations can trigger a variety of issues, including fire 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 identify, especially in the middle of a busy day. This is why it's essential that container terminals have an instrument that provides real-time temperature monitoring for all reefer containers within their facility. This allows personnel to react quickly to any abnormalities, preventing any potential risks.
Tunnel containers are a practical option when it comes to transporting and storing temperature-sensitive goods. Double doors are located at both sides of the container, making it easier to load and unload during transport and storage. They can also be used to store bulky objects such as vehicles and machinery.
These modified containers are made from regular shipping containers that measure 20 or 40 feet. The solid end is removed, and a set of double doors is then welded to provide two-way access. These modified containers are commonly employed on construction locations where heavy machinery needs to be passed over and under.
Some terminals transform their tunnel shipping containers to serve as a secure entrance to the site, installing a turnstile or manually-operated security checkpoints as visitors traverse through. These conversions, which aren't available in standard sizes, can be customized to meet specific requirements. They are also more cost-effective than building an entire facility. Tunnel containers are typically only available in a "new one-time use condition.
