Tunnel Shipping Container
Also known as double door shipping containers, tunnel containers have a set of cargo doors at each end. This makes them ideal for oversized items.
The 2013 KOBE Biennale saw designers Masakazu Shirane and Saya Miyazaki develop a kaleidoscopic container tunnel. Zipper Architecture is the first instance of Zipper Architecture where the surfaces open and shut like windows.
The ease of loading and unloading
When you're moving products or simply using a container to store your goods for storage purposes, it's important to ensure that your cargo is properly secured. You could end up damaging your possessions or falling your shipment during transit if you don't. Use load securing materials to hold your items in place to avoid these issues. This includes straps, load bars as well as plywood bracing, and dunnage bags.
There are a variety of shipping containers on the market tunnel containers are particularly efficient for storage and transportation because they offer ease of access to the cargo inside. Tunnel containers have double doors on both sides, making it easy to load and unload items. This makes them an excellent option for loading vehicles such as motorbikes and snowmobiles.
Tunnel containers are a popular way to store heavy machinery and heavy equipment. The dual entry points make it much easier to move your equipment in and out of the container without having to reverse a tractor or vehicle. They're also ideal for onsite storage as they can be modified by putting a a partition down the middle to make two functional units out of the same container.
Tunnel containers also have an additional door on the side wall (long). This gives them the same access as storage containers that are open-side but at a lower cost.
Another benefit of tunnel containers is that they can be equipped with lighting and side windows. This lets them be used as a warehouse or office space. This kind of change is very cost effective for those who have lots of equipment to store.
Tunnel shipping containers can also be fitted with a refrigeration system, which is an effective way to preserve temperature-sensitive goods. These containers are often called refrigerated ISO containers or reefer containers and they can be used for a variety of applications, such as cold storage and distribution of fresh food.
Improved Security
When it comes down to storing valuable or sensitive items security is of utmost importance. While shipping containers are secured by design, there are additional features that can be installed to further improve security. Modification options include steel window bars and alarm systems. These can be put in both inside and outside the container to make it more difficult for anyone who is not authorized to gain access.
A tunnel container can be equipped with a high-security lock. This locks the door and prevents unauthorized users from opening the door. A locking box can be used to guard the lock, which increases security by stopping tampering. A crossbar lock can be added to the lock, which extends across the doors of the container, making it more difficult to open them open.
Shipping container tunnels can be modified to suit a variety of requirements. They can be used for an office or workshop and offer a safe space for workers who are in stressful situations. Furthermore they can be modified to suit a variety of equipment and machinery. They can even be outfitted with a ventilation system and fork pockets, allowing them to be easily moved using large industrial forklifts.
Contrary to typical ISO shipping containers, which have doors on one end tunnel containers have double cargo doors on both ends. This allows for easy and efficient access which is vital when storing heavy vehicles and equipment. These attributes make tunnel shipping containers an ideal option for those who require a high degree of versatility and efficiency.
These units were utilized in the past as ballistic shelters to workers who worked in hostile environments. Particularly, they were transported to Erbil in Iraq where the threat of terrorist attacks was a regular reality. Designed and built in collaboration with local engineers the ballistic shipping containers provided workers with a safe place that could be easily accessed from their work stations. The containers also made it easy to access emergency supplies. The containers were constructed of top-quality Corten Steel which is renowned for its strength and durability.
Versatility
A tunnel shipping container is a special container that has double cargo doors at both ends of the unit. These containers are also referred to as double-door containers or tunnel boxes. They permit easy access to the interior of the container from either side. This improves their versatility and usability. These specialized storage units are available as tunnels, or they can be modified from conventional containers. The solid part of the standard container is removed, and new double doors welded into place to provide two-way access inside.
Tunnel containers are extremely popular for storage of large equipment or machinery. With access to your cargo from both sides of the container, it is easy to load or unload large equipment without needing to back up your vehicle or be at risk of losing your cargo. The dual-end doors allow for easy rotation of your stored items, which is crucial in high-frequency applications such as construction or steel work.
Tunnel containers aren't just highly versatile, but also cost-effective. They are typically cheaper than traditional storage solutions and they're perfect for intermodal transportation because they can be easily transported on flatbed trains or trucks. They can also be equipped with advanced security ventilation systems or systems for ventilation, according to your requirements.

Steel-framed containers are constructed to withstand ocean travel and the rigors of years of usage.
A tunnel container is the perfect solution for safe storage at home or in your business. They're not only robust and affordable, they are also versatile enough to transform into a stunning living room or a cozy home-office. These shipping containers are sleek and modern and can enhance the look of any business or home.
Cost-Effectiveness
Compared to conventional shipping, tunnel containers offer several benefits that can aid businesses in saving money. One major benefit is that they don't require the use of cranes. This is a significant savings for companies that need to lease cranes on a continuous basis for loading and unloading cargo. Another advantage is that they can be stacked higher than traditional containers. This allows for more storage space and reduces shipping costs. 20 ft tunnel containers are also a good choice for businesses who require storage or transportation of large machinery.
In contrast to traditional shipping containers tunnel containers have double doors on both sides. This design makes them much easier to access items in storage, compared to standard containers that only have a door on one side. It also helps to speed up container handling and improve efficiency at the port. This can help to reduce delays and other expenses that come with container arrangement on ships.
A tunnel container is also an excellent option for moving equipment and machinery. Our customers have used tunnel containers to transport everything from generators and water treatment plants to tents and awnings for road shows. The double-end entry permits more efficient and quicker loading of equipment and supplies.
These units can be customized to suit various needs and are available in a 'one-trip' new condition. For instance, you can convert a tunnel container to a mobile security office by adding a turnstile or manual secure entry checkpoint. You can also convert them into retail and food market stalls for events and markets.
Tunnel containers can also be used to store equipment for plants and provide employees with easy, safe access. We've seen them being converted into office spaces, offering an affordable way for businesses to accommodate their employees while working. These containers can also be easily transported to the next trade show location or road show, reducing time and expense on set up. Additionally they can be outfitted with a retractable roof to protect against the weather conditions.
