Shipping Container Tunnel
Shipping container tunnels, also known as double end door containers have standard double doors at both ends of the container, which effectively creates a tunnel when opened. This makes it easy to access and greatly enhances the convenience of loading and unloading cargo.
Tunnel containers are available in a new 'one trip' condition and are suitable for a range of conversion and storage projects. They are used by many clients to create small safe storage spaces, simply by splitting the middle.
Easy Access
Tunnel shipping containers come with two double doors at each side which makes it easier to access items stored than a container with only one set of doors. This makes them incredibly popular with self-storage companies who use them to build separate storage areas for various types of items - for example, boxes and tools in one, and furniture or machines in the other.
Tunnel containers are also suitable for businesses who require storage or transportation of large or bulky items e.g. Car dealerships, construction firms and manufacturing firms. Due to their dual entry points, tunnel containers can be loaded or unloaded quicker than standard containers. This allows for increased efficiency, reduce costs and prevent costly delays.
Dual access points make tunnel containers useful for loading and taking away large objects, which are too large to fit through a single door. Furniture, heavy machinery and automobiles. They are able to accommodate fork lift ramps as well as hand dolly ramps that are extremely useful in busy workplaces.
Tunnel containers are weatherproof steel and can be used outdoors in a variety of different locations. For instance many of our clients use tunnel containers to keep their employees and guests safe from rain and wind during security checks at big events such as festivals and concerts. Two tunnel containers placed between each other can keep dozens safe of the wind and rain while they wait to be scanned or checked in.
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. The tunnel for the shipping container was equipped with double sockets and lighting to allow year-round usage, using PIR insulation and heaters. The customers were so thrilled with the result that they have since purchased another container from us to create an even larger and more attractive shop!
