Tunnel Containers

Dual Access
A tunnel container is an altered version of the typical shipping container, with double doors at both ends. They are also referred to as a "double door end container" or a "tunnel-shaped container". They allow access to the stored items at both ends.
The dual-end access allows cargo to be loaded and unloaded from both sides of the container, which is ideal for transporting heavier or bulkier items that would otherwise need to be backed in and out of the container. Double-end access removes the need to empty the entire container to access the items that are buried within, thereby saving time and reducing the chance of damage.
This innovative feature makes tunnel containers flexible and adaptable. They can be used for a diverse variety of storage and transportation needs, including being converted into living spaces or mobile offices. shipping container tunnel are made of tough, corrosion-resistant Corten steel and can withstand even the most extreme weather conditions.
If you are looking for an extra secure solution we can join steel bulkheads to one of the long sides, resulting in two storage compartments that measure 10 feet. Self-storage companies can make use of them to divide their customers' belongings into different areas, thereby increasing security. Our double end door containers are also popular as ticket entry points at large events, as they're easily able to accommodate lines of people while keeping them dry.
Our new 20ft double door tunnel containers have fork pockets that are suitable for industrial forklifts. This means they are able to be stackable or lifted from the corners of each long side. We've also added PIR insulation and heaters to these units, making them suitable for year-round storage.
We can manufacture tunnel containers with custom sizes to meet your exact specifications if you require an even more customized solution. We can produce them in double-sided and single-sided versions and in a variety of lengths. Custom-sized tunnel containers are more expensive than conventional shipping containers, therefore we suggest choosing the smallest size that will meet your needs.
40 ft tunnel containers -Sensitive Goods
The storage of most dangerous products like explosives or flammable liquids is best stored at temperatures that are optimal. Temperature fluctuations can cause various problems, such as flame 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.
In many cases these fluctuations can be difficult to detect, particularly in the middle of a busy day. Container terminals need an instrument to monitor the temperature of all reefer containers at their facility. This allows personnel the ability to respond quickly in the event of any anomalies and to avoid any risks that could arise.
Tunnel containers are a practical option when it comes to transporting and storing temperature-sensitive goods. They have double doors at both ends, which significantly increases accessibility and speeds loading and unloading operations during transportation and warehousing. They can be used to store large items like vehicles and machinery.

These modified containers are often employed on construction locations where heavy machinery needs to be passed over and under.
Some container terminals transform their tunnel shipping containers into secure site entrances by installing a turnstile when the users enter. These conversions, not available in standard sizes, can be easily modified to meet the specific needs. They are also more cost-effective than building a complete facility.
