Shipping Container Tunnel
Shipping container tunnels, also known as double end doors, have typical double doors on both sides of the container. When opened they form a tunnel. This facilitates easy access and greatly increases the ease of loading and unloading cargo.
Tunnel containers are available in new "one-trip" condition and can be used for a wide variety of conversion and storage projects. Many clients use them to create small stores for safe storage by dividing them down the middle.
Easy Access
Tunnel shipping containers have two double doors on each end making it much easier to access stored items than containers with just one set of doors. This makes them extremely popular with self storage businesses who use them to build separate storage areas for different kinds of objects - for instance boxes, tools and other items in one area and furniture or equipment in the other.
Tunnel containers are also ideal for businesses that need to store or transport large or bulky objects e.g. automobile dealerships, construction firms and manufacturing companies. The dual entry points of tunnel containers means that the contents of a tunnel container can be loaded and unloaded in a shorter time than the typical container. This increases productivity, reduces costs, and eliminates costly delays.
Dual access points make tunnel containers extremely useful for loading and taking away massive items that are too large to fit in one door. furniture, heavy machinery and automobiles. They are able to accommodate fork lift ramps as well as hand dolly ramps that are very useful in busy work environments.
Because they are made from weatherproof steel, tunnel containers can be used in a variety of outdoor locations. Many of our customers use tunnel containers to keep guests and staff out of the wind and rain during security checks for big events such as festivals and concerts. Two tunnel containers set from end-to-end can keep dozens of people out of the elements while waiting to be scanned or checked into.
We've also recently supplied and converted a pair tunnel containers to an historic railway site that wanted to set up a cozy gift shop. The shipping container tunnel was fitted with two sockets and lighting for year-round usage, using PIR insulation and heaters. The clients were so impressed with the result that they've since ordered another container from us to create an even bigger and better shop!
