Shipping Container Tunnel

Shipping container tunnels, also known as double-end doors, are typical double doors on both sides of a container. When opened they form a tunnel. This makes it easy to access and greatly increases the ease of loading and unloading cargo.

Tunnel containers are available in a new "one-trip" condition and are suitable for a range of storage and conversion projects. Many customers utilize 20ft tunnel container containers to build small stores for secure storage - simply by partitioning down the middle.

Easy Access

Tunnel shipping containers have two double doors on each end making it much easier to access stored items than a container that has only one set of doors. This makes them incredibly popular with self-storage companies who utilize them to create distinct storage areas for different types of items - for example boxes, tools and other items in one area and furniture or equipment in the other.

Tunnel containers are also suitable for businesses who require storage or transportation of large or bulky objects e.g. Construction firms, car dealerships and manufacturing companies. The dual entry points of tunnel containers means that the contents of a 40 ft tunnel container container can be loaded and unloaded in a shorter amount of time than the standard container. This allows for increased productivity, reduce costs and avoid costly delays.

The dual access points make tunnel containers extremely convenient for loading and unloading large items that are too big to be accommodated in a single door e.g. 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. For instance our customers utilize tunnel containers to keep their staff and guests out of the rain and wind when security checks are conducted at large events such as concerts and festivals. Two tunnel containers laid side-to-side can keep a large number of people from the elements whilst they wait to be scanned or checked for entry.

We've also recently provided and converted a pair tunnel containers for an historic railway site that wanted to set up a cozy gift shop.

Easy Storage

Tunnel containers are also utilized by many of our clients as 'passages' during music events and festivals, helping to funnel crowds through a certain space or gap.
