Tunnel Container Uses

Tunnel containers are also known as double door shipping containers. They have the same dimensions as a the standard ISO container, but the difference is that they open at both ends. This allows access to cargo easily and is a useful feature when you use the container for storage or conversion projects.

Transport

Tunnel containers can be used for a variety different purposes. The dual entry points allow for easy access to equipment and other materials from either end which makes it easier for palletised loads to be transported using forklifts, and makes stock flow management much simpler. Tunnel containers are commonly used as temporary bridges on construction sites, as well as ticket entrances for festivals or other events.

They are also an excellent solution for self storage. By installing the bulkhead partition made of steel the 20ft tunnel container can be transformed into two 10ft units, maximising return on investment. Tunnel containers can be modified in various ways, such as adding lighting inside, as well as side windows - making them even more convenient for companies.

The double doors on both sides of the container allow it to be used for storage of bulky or larger items. This is particularly beneficial for warehouses, where it can be difficult to fit large equipment and vehicles inside the standard shipping containers. It will save you a huge amount of time since you don't need to constantly move the container around, allowing you to keep moving merchandise throughout the day.

Tunnel containers can be equipped with heating and cooling units, allowing them to be used for temperature-controlled storage for goods such pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and food items. They can also be equipped with ventilation to avoid condensation.

As with standard shipping containers, 20 ft tunnel containers containers are available in 20ft and 40ft tunnel containers sizes. They meet ISO shipping standards and CSC coated to be used for international freight. They can also be weatherproofed by adding insulation.

They can be transported on flat-bed trucks or chassis, or mounted on a truck frame or tracks. They are an excellent choice for military and law enforcement equipment since they can easily be moved between bases. This can also help hinder the identification of expensive equipment, such as command-and-control centres or mobile operating theaters. They can be transported with different weapons including missile launchers. Container City in Cholula is a great illustration of how an old sea container can be transformed into workshops, restaurants galleries, and even homes!

Storage

Double end doors containers, also known as Tunnel Containers, allow access to the storage items at both sides of a container. This makes it easy to load and unloading, as making full use of the storage space. This makes these units ideal for use as self-storage facilities providing access to both sides of the container without having to remove items. This is especially useful for those who store larger, bulky or awkward items like machinery and heavy equipment.

Additionally the tunnel container design allows them to be easily converted into offices or other storage spaces that are secure. Tunnel containers unlike open-sided shipping containers, can be opened from both ends and locked at the other end. This allows them to be used for the construction of on-site offices and even housing for when needed.

These containers can be used to store special items. Military units can use containers to transport expensive equipment to temporary locations, such as command and control centers or mobile operating theaters which eliminates the need to move these systems by vehicle.

In the same way, industrial equipment that is specialized like turbines and generators can be transported similarly. This allows for the rapid deployment of critical infrastructure in areas where it is needed and drastically reduces the time and cost associated with the installation of fixed infrastructure.

If you are looking to ship something more hazardous like biological or chemical materials These units can be fitted with a specialized thermal insulation and a controlled temperature control system. This allows them to maintain a constant low temperature and prevents any spoilage during transport.

These containers can also be fitted with a removable tarp covering which allows for more flexibility when loading and unloading. This allows large or bulky items to be transported that otherwise would not fit in traditional shipping containers, like construction materials, timber, or large machinery. To ensure security, these units can also be fitted with a high-security lockbox that blocks entry from the top of the container.

Stuffing & De Stuffing

Logistics professionals use different terms to describe the way cargo is prepared for transport and moved through the supply chain. These terms include container stuffing and de-stuffing. These terms refer to the process through which goods are taken out of or loaded into a shipping container. Understanding these concepts is important to the success of any company that uses shipping containers to store or distribute goods.

Stuffing a tunnel container requires strategically placing the cargo to maximize space and meet the specific requirements of logistics. Based on the nature of the cargo, specific packing techniques and loading methods must be used to prevent damage during transit. It is important to place the heaviest cargo on the bottom and stack lighter items above. Additionally it is crucial to use appropriate security measures to prevent the cargo from shifting during transport. Optimising the container load also helps to reduce shipping and handling costs per unit, and also ensures that the container is in compliance with regulations to ensure safe transport.

On arrival at the destination the process of unloading or de-stuffing the container is a vital step to maintaining supply chain efficiency. This process involves removing any excess cargo from a container. It also requires careful inspection for any indications of physical or water damage that could affect the integrity of the cargo. Regulatory compliance and effective communication between the logistics provider and the shipper are crucial to a successful de-stuffing process.

For businesses that require a safe and secure site access point using a refurbished 40 ft tunnel containers container is a cost-effective option. They can be modified to offer the option of a turnstile or a manual entry checkpoint that prevents access to restricted areas within the facility. These units are also popular for bridges that are temporary and also as ticket entrances for large events.

Tunnel containers aren't the most popular type of shipping container, but they're becoming more popular for multimodal logistics. The double doors are ideal for shipping and storage, as they are accessible from both ends. Self-storage is an option for businesses that want to have dual access to their inventory. Portable Space can weld steel bulkhead partitions into the 20 ft tunnel container-foot container to create two separate 10ft storage compartments. This is a lot less expensive than purchasing new storage containers.

Security

Tunneling is a method to set up direct point-topoint connections across the network. It encapsulates packets that use one routing protocol inside other protocols, which means that routers on either end of the tunnel can connect directly to each other.

This allows different applications to share a common infrastructure. For instance, a company can build tunnels to connect its internal resources to the internet. This can help them maintain uniform security policies for their employees and customers. With the use of tunnels, a company can also shield sensitive information from being accessed through the public network.

Despite being made from steel, container cargo loads are still susceptible to theft. The methods used by thieves have changed and they are now able to break into steel containers by cutting off the hinges or doors. It's therefore important that businesses take measures to prevent their containers being taken.

Installing a lockbox on the door is one method to achieve this. They are steel shrouds that are welded that are able to fit around the lug that holds the padlock on the door of the container. they make it very difficult to access the padlock area using bolt cutters. Additionally, businesses can add a high-security alarm that will notify them when someone tries to cut the lockbox.

Installing a turnstile, or a manual entry checkpoint with secure access, is another option to improve security. This is particularly useful for events that have large crowds. It can be used to keep guests out of the wind and rain while security personnel can check people's entry into the venue.

Shipping containers come in a variety of sizes and configurations and therefore, businesses can choose the one that best suits their requirements. For instance, some are designed to accommodate bulky objects, such as vehicles and machinery. Some are equipped with doors at both ends, which makes them easier to load and unload. There are refrigerated containers that can be used to transport fresh food.
