Tunnel Container Uses

The tunnel container is called a double door shipping container. They are built with the same dimensions as the standard ISO containers, but they are opened at both ends. This allows for quick access to the cargo and is useful when you are using the container as a storage or conversion project.

Transport

Tunnel containers can be used for many different uses. Dual entry points make it simple to access equipment and other materials at either end. This makes it easier to transport palletised items using forklifts and also simplifying the management of stock flow. Tunnel containers are commonly used as temporary bridges on construction sites, and also as ticket entrances at events such as festivals.

They are also a great option for self-storage. By constructing a steel bulkhead, a 20ft container can be divided into two 10ft units. This can maximize the return on investment. Tunnel containers can be modified in various ways, including internal lighting, and side windows - making them even more convenient for businesses.

The double doors on both ends of the container also make it ideal for storing large or bulky items. This is particularly useful in warehouses, where it can be difficult to fit large vehicles or machinery into the standard shipping containers. It will save a significant amount of time as you don't have to constantly move the container around and allow you to continue moving goods throughout the day.

Tunnel containers can be outfitted with heating and cooling units that allow them to be used for temperature-controlled storage units for goods like pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and food items. They can also be equipped with ventilation systems to avoid condensation in the goods.

Tunnel containers are available in 20ft or 40ft tunnel containers sizes, just like standard shipping containers. They meet ISO shipping standards and CSC plated 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 frame for a truck or tracks. They are also a great alternative for law enforcement equipment as they can be easily moved between bases and may prevent unwanted identification of high-value equipment, such as command and control centers or mobile operating theatres. They can even be loaded with a range of weapons including missile launchers. The Container City in Cholula, Mexico is an excellent example of how the old sea containers can be transformed into galleries, restaurants, workshops - and homes!

Storage

Double end doors containers, also referred to as Tunnel Containers, allow access to the items stored on both sides of the container. This makes it easier to gain access to load and unloading, and allows full use of storage space. These units are ideal for self-storage facilities because they allow access to both sides without the need to take items off. This is particularly beneficial for those who need to store large, bulky or awkward items like machinery and heavy equipment.

The tunnel container design also allows for these units to be converted into offices or secure storage spaces. In contrast to open-sided shipping containers, which must be completely empty to gain access to the contents, tunnel containers can simply be opened from either end and locked again. They are great for constructing offices on site and even housing, if needed.

The containers can also be used to store specific equipment. Military units can make use of containers to transport expensive equipment to temporary locations like command and controls centres or mobile operating theaters, thereby eliminating the need to move these systems via road.

This method can be used to transport industrial equipment that is specialized such as turbines or generators. This allows for the rapid deployment of critical infrastructure to areas where it is needed which reduces the time and expense associated with installing fixed infrastructure.

For those looking to ship an item that is more risky like biological or chemical substances they are equipped with special thermal insulation and controlled temperature control system. This allows the unit to maintain an extremely low temperature, which will prevent any loss or damage.

They can also be fitted with a tarp cover that can be removed that allows for greater flexibility in loading and unloading. This permits tall or bulky cargo to be transported that otherwise would not fit in standard shipping containers, including construction materials, timber, or large machinery. For added security, these containers may be equipped with a high-security lockbox that blocks entry from the top of the container.

Stuffing & De Stuffing

When it concerns storage and shipping logistics professionals use a variety of terms to describe the methods by which cargo is readied for transport and moved through the supply chain. Container stuffing and destuffing are two terms that describe the process of loading or removing goods from a container tunnel. Understanding these concepts will aid any business that uses shipping containers for distribution or storage to be successful.

Stuffing a tunnel shipping container container is strategically placing the cargo to maximize space and meet specific logistics needs. Depending on the nature the cargo, specific packing and loading methods must be used to prevent damage during transportation. This includes placing heaviest items on the bottom, stacking lighter ones on top, and using appropriate securing measures to keep the cargo from shifting during transit. Optimizing the load in the container aids in reducing shipping and handling costs per unit, and also ensures that the container is in compliance with regulations for safe transportation.

When the container arrives at its destination the process of unloading or de-stuffing the container is an essential step in maintaining supply chain efficiency. This process involves removing any excess cargo from a container. It also involves a careful inspection for any signs of physical damage or water damage that could compromise cargo integrity. De-stuffing is only feasible when the logistics company and shipper communicate effectively and abide by all regulations.

For businesses who require a secure and secure site access point, a renovated tunnel container is a cost-effective option. These containers can be converted into a turnstile, or an entry point that can be manually controlled to restrict access to areas within the facility. These containers are also used as bridges for temporary use, and for use as ticket entrances for large events.

Tunnel containers aren't the most sought-after type of shipping container, but they're becoming more popular for multimodal logistics. The double-end doors are ideal for shipping and storage, as they can be opened from both ends. Self-storage is a popular choice for businesses that want to have access to their inventory. Portable Space can weld steel bulkhead partitions inside a 20ft container to create two separate 10ft storage compartments. This is much cheaper than buying new storage containers.

Security

Tunneling is one way to establish direct point-topoint connections across the network. It encapsulates the packets using a single routing protocol that is integrated into other protocols, so that routers on either side of a tunnel can be directly connected to each other.

This permits different applications to share a common infrastructure. A company, for instance can build tunnels to connect its internal resources to the public internet. This will help them to keep a uniform security policy for their employees and customers. With the use of tunnels, a company can also protect sensitive information from being stolen by the public network.

Container cargo loads even though they're made of steel, remain susceptible to theft. Thieves have become sophisticated in their tactics and are able to get inside a container by the removal of its hinges or doors. For this reason, it's important for businesses to put in place measures to prevent the theft of their containers.

One method to accomplish this is to set up a lockbox on the doors. These are welded steel shrouds that fit around the lug of the container door that holds the padlock. They make it very difficult to get into the area of the padlock with bolt cutters. Businesses can also install a high security alarm that alerts the company if someone attempts to cut through the lockbox.

Another way to increase the security of tunnel containers is to install a turnstile or a manual secure entry checkpoint. This is particularly useful for events with large crowds. It is a great way to keep guests out of the wind and rain while security personnel can conduct checks as people enter the venue.

Shipping containers are available in various sizes and specifications. This allows businesses to find the right one to meet their needs. Some are designed to accommodate large items like vehicles and equipment. Some containers have doors on both sides to allow loading and unloading to be made easier. Additionally, there are refrigerated containers that can be used to transport fresh food.
