Tunnel Containers
As the name suggests the main feature of a tunnel containers is the dual door design at each end of the container. 20ft tunnel container increases access, making them ideal for storage and handling.
You can also convert them into self-storage units by adding a partition. We have helped customers use them to store plant machinery and secure site access with turnstiles.
Dual Access
A tunnel container is an altered version of the typical shipping container, with double doors at both ends. These containers are also known as a "double end door container" or a "tunnel-shaped container". They permit access to the storage items at both ends.
The dual-end access allows cargo to be loaded and unloaded from both sides of the container. This is ideal when you're moving bulkier or larger items which would otherwise have to be backed in and out of the container. Double-end access also makes it unnecessary to unload the entire container in order to access the items stored within, which saves time and minimizes the risk of damage during transportation.
This nifty feature is what makes these tunnel containers so flexible and adaptable. They can be used for a broad range of storage and transport requirements, including being transformed into living spaces or mobile offices. These containers are constructed of tough, corrosion-resistant Corten steel that can stand up to the most severe weather conditions.
If you're looking for a more secure option, we can weld in steel bulkheads onto one of the long sides of the container, creating two separate 10ft storage compartments. Self-storage companies can make use of bulkheads to separate customers' belongings into distinct areas, thereby increasing security. Our double-end door containers are very popular at large events as ticket entry points, as they can accommodate large crowds and keep them dry.
Our new 20ft double-door tunnels come with fork pockets designed for large industrial forklifts which means they can be easily stackable or lifted from the corners of both sides. These units are also equipped with PIR insulation and heaters making them ideal for storage throughout the year.
If you're after a more customized container solution We can also create custom-sized tunnel containers to exactly meet your requirements. We can produce them in single- or double-sided designs, and different lengths. Custom-sized tunnel containers are more expensive than regular shipping containers, so we suggest choosing the smallest size that will meet your needs.
Temperature-Sensitive Goods
Most dangerous goods, such as explosives, flammable liquids, and organic peroxides, must be stored at the right temperature. Temperature fluctuations can cause various problems, including a fire and toxic fumes. When storing temperature-sensitive hazardous goods, it's essential that container terminal facilities are equipped with the appropriate monitoring equipment to track and identify any anomalies or deviations from set temperatures.
In many cases the fluctuations are difficult to detect, particularly during the midst of a busy workday. This is why it's essential that container terminals have an instrument that provides real-time temperature monitoring of all reefer containers in their facility. This gives personnel the ability to react quickly in the event of any anomalies and to avoid any risk.
Tunnel containers are a practical option when it comes to transporting and storing temperature-sensitive goods. They feature double doors at both ends, which significantly increases accessibility and speeds loading and unloading operations during transportation and warehousing. They can also be used to store bulky objects like vehicles and machinery.
The modified containers are constructed from regular shipping containers that measure 20 or 40 feet. The solid end is removed and a set of double doors is welded into place to create a two-way entry. They are popular for use at construction sites, where it is necessary to pass over and under heavy equipment.
Some container terminals also transform their tunnel shipping containers to function as a secure site entrance, installing a turnstile or manual security checkpoint as users pass through. These conversions, which aren't available in standard sizes, can be modified to meet the specific needs. They are also less expensive than building an entire facility. Tunnel containers are usually only available in a 'new one-time use condition. This is because their owners build them for a specific purpose and then hold on to them for a period of time. They are highly sought-after by those who want to expand their business or warehouse without the need to purchase brand new refrigeration facilities. They are also a very economical solution for those who want to store temperature-sensitive goods over long periods of time, or for transporting large volumes of cargo over long distances.
Convenient Storage
A tunnel container is an ideal option to store your cargo. These shipping containers feature double doors at both ends, unlike the typical dry storage container that only has a single door. This means you can get into the storage container from either side and have easier access and faster loading and unloading of items.
This dual entry point is especially useful when storing items that require regular access, like machinery and equipment. This means that you don't have to shift your vehicle in and out of the storage container continuously and risk damaging both the container and your vehicle.
You can also use a tunnel container to store items that you need to keep at a specific temperature. The refrigerated and thermal tunnel containers are perfect for this since they have temperature controls that will ensure the items stored in them are kept at a particular temperature.
In addition to offering easy access for your workers, a tunnel container is a great solution for a workshop or garage as it permits you to access all areas of your workspace without having to move anything around. The two doors at each end mean that you can access and exit your storage container quickly, should you need to.
One-trip tunnel containers are offered as new constructions with two sets double doors or modified shipping containers. In the latter case the solid part of the container is removed and a set of double doors installed at each end of the container.
These shipping containers are typically only available in new"one-trip" condition, because their owners will have built them for a specific purpose and will not want to sell them off. Some companies still offer refurbished tunnel containers. The renovated containers have been tested to ensure that they are safe for transport and can be sold with an extended warranty to provide additional peace of mind.
Easy Transportation
Double cargo doors at both ends of the tunnel container make it easy to load and unload items from either end. This makes these containers ideal for carrying all kinds of bulk and general cargo, as well as special items such as motorbikes or cars. These containers are also often used as tunnels for temporary use on construction sites due to their safety, durability and the ease of alteration.
Shipping containers with double doors are great storage. The ability to access both sides of a container will save you time and money by removing the requirement to remove the entire container or section to access the items stored at the back. Furthermore, the doors on both sides can be locked to prevent unauthorized entry.

Side open containers have doors that are positioned on the sides of the container, making them ideal for storing smaller goods. A refrigerated ISO container, or reefer, has a regulated temperature and can be used to store temperature-sensitive goods.
These containers are available in refurbished and new models in sizes of 20 and 40 feet with doors on both ends to allow for easy loading. They can also be custom sized to meet your individual requirements however it will cost more than the standard double-end door container.
