What Is Shipping Container Tunnel And Why Is Everyone Talking About It?
Shipping Container Tunnel Shipping container tunnels, also known as double door containers, have normal double doors on both sides of the container, which creates a tunnel when opened. This allows for easy access, and greatly improves the ease and convenience of loading and unloading freight. Tunnel containers can be purchased in a “one-trip” condition that can be used for a variety of storage or conversion projects. They are used by numerous customers to create small, secure storage areas, simply by splitting the middle. Easy Access With a pair of standard double doors at both ends tunnel shipping containers provide the most convenient access to stored items than a regular container that has only one set of doors. Self-storage companies love them because they can make different storage areas for various items. For example boxes and tools are kept in one area while furniture and machinery is kept in another. Tunnel containers are also suitable for companies that require storage or transportation of large or bulky objects e.g. automobile dealerships, construction firms 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. The dual access points also make tunnel containers incredibly useful for loading and unloading large items that are too big to fit through a single door e.g. Furniture, heavy machinery and cars. They can easily accommodate fork lift ramps as well as hand dolly ramps, which are very useful in busy workplaces. Tunnel containers are weatherproof and can be used outdoors in many different places. A lot of our customers use tunnel containers to keep their guests and staff safe from the elements of wind and rain during security checks for large events such as festivals and concerts. Two tunnel containers placed side-to-side can keep dozens of people safe from the elements while they wait to be scanned or checked into. We've also recently supplied and converted a pair of tunnel containers to a railway heritage site who wanted to build a cozy gift shop. The shipping container tunnel was fitted with double sockets and lighting for all-year-round use, with PIR insulation and heaters. The customers were so thrilled by the results that they have since ordered another container from us to build an even larger and more attractive shop! We have a variety of new 'one trip' tunnel containers in stock as well as used ones that have been converted.

Easy Storage One of the most significant advantages of a shipping container tunnel is that it makes it easy to store your cargo inside. Tunnel containers are simpler to store than conventional containers that require you to take the entire container to get to the rear. This makes it much easier to manage your inventory and also saves you time when loading/unloading. Tunnel containers also have double doors that are standard on both ends walls, making them ideal for storage of cargo. This feature can also help keep bugs out of your storage, which is essential when you are planning to store hazardous chemicals or perishable products. Due to their dual entry points Tunnel containers are ideal for converting into self storage units. Simply putting an internal partition in the middle of a shipping container can create two separate 10ft storage spaces that are ideal for businesses that want to move their stock around without having to unload everything from both ends. Tunnel containers are also used by many of our clients as 'passages' during music festivals and events which help to direct crowds through a particular gap or space. The versatility of the shipping container tunnel is what makes it such an efficient solution for a variety of uses. They can be transformed into portable offices, workshops, warehouses and much more. Storage is made simpler through the double-end access seals, weatherproof seals, and the capacity to store the container. Shipping containers are constructed of corrosion-resistant Corten Steel that is able to endure harsh environments and frequent transport. They are also able to withstand powerful winds and, when covered, will protect your items from dust, rain and snow. The walls and the roof of the tunnel for shipping containers are insulated to help keep temperatures stable, while protecting the stored items. This is particularly crucial for perishable products or chemicals that are affected adversely by extremes of temperature. Shipping containers also help keep dust and moisture out, which can improve the life span of your stored items. Simple Loading & Unloading It is crucial to stack cargo vertically in the shipping tunnel and fix it using straps or load bars. 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 place heavier items at the bottom of container and lighter ones on top. Keep flammables away from other objects, and also anything that may be contaminated with liquids. The double doors at both ends of a tunnel container make it easy to access items inside the container, where you might have trouble with a standard shipping container. This makes tunnel containers ideal for storing inventory for both personal and commercial use. Many self-storage businesses use tunnel containers as well. They split them in half to create two smaller stores and give easy access on both sides. In addition to the dual door accessibility of tunnel containers, they can be modified just as easily as any other type of container for shipping. You can also add windows and lighting according to what you require. They can also be transformed into offices, workshops or retail spaces. You should always conduct a thorough inspection before buying any storage solution. It is also important to ensure whether the container is dry and clean and free of tears, holes or scratched. Examine the corner posts for damage, and ensure that all locking mechanisms are in good shape. Also, you should ensure that the container is equipped with a valid CSC plate and is capable of being loaded for international transportation.

However, prior to building your home in a tunnel, it's important to remember that the conversion and remodeling of the inside of a shipping container isn't quite as easy as adding walls. There are a number of different steps you should take into consideration for example, hiring a professional in construction who is specialized in shipping container conversions. The right shipping container must be the same size as other container you plan to connect. Otherwise, there could be page when the containers aren't lined up properly. It's also important to choose a container that is in good shape, as older units can be susceptible to rust and other damage during storage and transport. Before purchasing a tunnel shipping container, you should consider what you will use it for.
