Shipping Container Tunnel
Shipping container tunnel, also known as double door containers, come with standard double doors at both sides of the container, which creates a tunnel when opened. This facilitates easy access, and greatly enhances the ease and convenience of loading and unloading freight.
Tunnel containers can be purchased in a 'one-trip' condition that is suitable for many storage or conversion projects. Many clients use tunnel containers to create small storage units 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. Self-storage companies love them because they can make different storage areas for various objects. For instance, boxes and tools are stored in one section while furniture and equipment are kept in another.
Tunnel containers are also great for companies that need to store or transport large or bulky items e.g. Construction firms, car dealerships, and manufacturing companies. Due to their dual entry points tunnel containers can be loaded or unloaded faster than standard containers. This allows for increased productivity, cut costs and avoid costly delays.
The dual access points make tunnel containers incredibly convenient for loading and unloading large objects that are too big to fit through a single entrance e.g. Furniture, heavy machinery and automobiles. They are able to accommodate fork lift ramps and hand dolly ramps that are extremely beneficial in busy work environments.
Since they are made of weatherproof steel, tunnel containers can be utilized in a variety of outdoor settings. A lot of our customers use tunnel containers to keep guests and staff from the rain and wind during security checks for large events such as festivals and concerts. Two tunnel containers, placed end-to-end can keep dozens out of the wind and rain while they wait for their turn to be checked in or scanned.
Recently, we transformed two tunnel containers into a cozy gift shop for the railway heritage site. By using PIR insulation and heaters, the shipping container tunnel was equipped with lighting and double sockets to allow for year-round use. The customer was so thrilled with the results that they ordered a second container to expand the shop!

Easy Storage
One of the most important aspects of a shipping container tunnel is that it is simple to store cargo inside. Tunnel containers are much easier to store than conventional containers that require you to unload the entire container to reach the rear. This makes it much easier to manage your inventory and saves you time when loading/unloading.
Tunnel containers also have double doors that are standard on both walls, which makes them ideal for storage of cargo. This feature can also keep pests away from your storage. This is crucial when you're storing dangerous chemicals or perishable goods.
Due to their dual entry points, tunnel containers are also perfect for conversion into self-storage units. A shipping container can be divided into two distinct storage spaces of 10 feet by creating an internal partition. This is ideal for companies that need to rotate their stock without the hassle of unloading from both ends. Tunnel containers are also utilized by a lot of our customers as 'passageways' at music events and festivals which help to direct crowds through a certain space or gap.
The flexibility of a shipping container tunnel is what makes it such an efficient solution for a variety of uses. They can be used as portable warehouses, workshops, offices and much more. Storage is made simpler with the double-end access system seals, weatherproof seals, and the ability to store the container.
Shipping containers are made from corrosion-resistant Corten steel, which means that they can withstand harsh environments and frequent transportation easily. They are also able to withstand powerful winds and, when covered, will protect your items from dust, rain and snow.
The insulated walls and roof of a shipping container tunnel also aid in protecting the stored goods and also keep temperatures stable. This is especially important for perishable items or chemicals that can be affected by extreme temperatures. Shipping containers are able to keep dust and moisture out as well which can significantly increase the longevity of the stored items.
Simple Loading & Unloading
It is essential to stack cargo vertically in a shipping tunnel and anchor it with straps or load bars. This ensures that when the containers are transported via rail or sea, the containers don't move and cause damage. It's a good idea also to put heavier items at bottom of container and lighter items on top. It is also important to keep flammable items from other items and anything that could be in contact with liquids, such as for example, chemicals.
The double doors at the two ends of tunnel containers allow easy access to items that are located in the middle of the container, where you may have difficulty with the typical shipping container. Tunnel containers are great for storing both personal and business inventory. They are also used by many self-storage businesses that partition them down the middle to create two smaller stores, allowing easy access from both sides (where a standard container could only have one entry point).
In 40ft tunnel containers to the dual door access of tunnel containers, they can be modified as easily as other kinds of container for shipping. This means that you can add lighting and even windows, depending on your requirements. They can be converted into office, retail or workshops.
Whether you are looking for a tunnel to a shipping container or any other type of storage solution, you'll need to conduct a thorough inspection prior to buying. It is also important to ensure whether the container is dry and clean, and free of holes, tears or scratches. You should also look at the corners of the posts to ensure they're not damaged and check that all locking mechanisms are intact. It is also important to ensure that the container is equipped with an active CSC plate and is able to be loaded for international transportation.

The unique features of the tunnel shipping container make it a fantastic option to create a unique and boldly designed home. Based on your budget, you can include many other features to create a custom and comfortable living space. From windows, doors and terraces to plumbing and electricity, you can transform your home into a unique and practical piece of art that stands out from traditional homes.
However, prior to building your home for your tunnel container, it's important to remember that the process of remodeling and converting an existing shipping container isn't as simple as simply building walls. You should consider a variety of factors, including hiring an expert in the field of shipping container conversions.
Choosing the right shipping container is an additional step, as it needs to be the same size as the other container you're planning to connect. If the containers aren't properly aligned structural issues could arise. It's also important to choose containers that are in good condition, since older containers are more prone to rust and other damage in storage and transportation.
Before purchasing a tunnel-shipping container, you must be aware of what you intend to use it for. For instance, if planning to use it to build an office space, it might be better to choose a large cube container that has plenty of extra room. This will allow you plenty of space to store and move things around. It will also make it easier to join several shipping containers in the event of need.
