Tunnel Shipping Container
Tunnel containers are also known as double-door shipping containers. They have cargo doors at both ends. This makes them ideal for oversized items.
The 2013 KOBE Biennale saw designers Masakazu Shirane & Saya Miyazaki design an amazing container tunnel. It is the first example of Zipper Architecture, where the surfaces open and close like windows.
Easy loading and unloading
It is essential that your cargo is secure secured whether you're using a shipping container to store your items or to transport them. Otherwise, you risk damages to your belongings as well as the possibility of your shipment falling during transit. Use load securing materials to keep your items in place to avoid problems. This includes straps, load bars, plywood bracing and even dunnage bags.
Tunnel containers are the most convenient for storing and transporting cargo. They are easy to access. Tunnel containers have double doors at both ends, making them easy to unload and load items. This makes them an excellent choice for loading vehicles like motorbikes and snowmobiles.
Tunnel containers are also a popular choice for storage of items such as heavy equipment and machinery. Dual entry points allow you to move heavy equipment into and out of containers without the need to reverse your vehicle or tractor. They're also great for onsite storage since they can be modified with a partition down the middle to create two usable units from one container.
In addition to having a set of standard double doors on both ends of the walls, tunnel containers also have an additional door on the side (long) wall. They have the same access as open-side containers, however, at a lower price.
Tunnel containers can also come with side windows and lighting. This allows them to be used as a warehouse or office space. This kind of alteration is extremely 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. They are commonly called refrigerated ISO containers or reefer containers. They are suitable for a variety of applications for cold storage and distribution of fresh food.
Improved Security
Security is paramount when it comes time to store sensitive or important items. While shipping containers are highly secure in their design, there are many additional options that can be added to further improve security. These modification options include steel window bars, alarm systems, and cameras for surveillance. These can be put in inside and outside of the container to make it more difficult for unauthorized individuals to gain access.
A tunnel container can also be equipped with a high-security lock. This locks the door and blocks the entry of anyone who is not authorized. The lock can also be secured with a locking box, which enhances security by preventing tampering. A crossbar lock system can be added, which extends across the doors of the container, making it more difficult to pry them open.
Shipping container tunnels can also be altered to meet variety of requirements. They can be used as an office or workshop and create a safe and secure environment for workers in volatile situations. In addition, they can be adapted to accommodate a wide range of equipment and machinery. They can also be fitted with a ventilation system and fork pockets, allowing them to be easily moved on large industrial forklifts.
In contrast to standard ISO shipping containers with doors on one end, tunnel containers have double cargo doors at both ends. This gives you easy and fast access, which is vital for storing vehicles and heavy equipment. These features make the tunnel shipping container a great solution for applications that require the highest level of flexibility and efficiency.
These units were used in the past as ballistic shelters to workers who were working in hostile environments. Specifically, they were shipped to Erbil in Iraq where the threat of terrorist attacks was a constant fact. In collaboration with local engineers the ballistic shipping containers provided workers with a safe place that was easily accessible from their workplaces. They also gave rapid access to emergency supplies. The specially designed ballistic shipping containers were made from high-quality Corten steel, a material known for its exceptional durability.
Versatility
A tunnel shipping container is a specialized container with double cargo doors at both sides of the container. They're also known as double doors containers or tunnel boxes. They they allow easy access to the inside of the container from either side which improves versatility and accessibility. These storage units can be built from scratch and used as tunnels or modified from one-trip containers that are standard. The solid end of the standard container is removed, and new double doors are welded to the container to create two-way access for the interior.
Tunnel containers are a popular method to store large equipment or machinery. With access to your cargo on both sides of the container it is easy to load or unload large machinery without having to back up your vehicle and be at risk of losing your cargo. Dual-end doors let you easily rotate the items you store. This is crucial for high-frequency uses, such as construction or steel.
Besides being incredibly versatile, tunnel containers are also very economical. They are often cheaper than traditional storage solutions, and they can be moved easily via flatbed trucks, or trains. They can also be outfitted with modern security ventilation systems or systems for ventilation, depending on your needs.
Security is also improved by the dual-end doors of tunnel containers. They allow you to check your storage items from both sides, which can greatly reduce the possibility of theft and loss. This feature is especially beneficial when storing expensive equipment or other materials.
In addition to being highly functional, tunnel shipping containers are also incredibly durable and long-lasting. They are constructed of corten steel, one of the strongest metals found on earth. In fact these steel-framed shipping containers are designed to withstand the demands of ocean travel and an extended period of use.
If you're in search of a secure storage solution for your home or business tunnel containers can be the ideal solution. Not only are they economical and durable, but they're also versatile enough to transform into a comfortable living space or a cozy office space.

Cost-Effectiveness
Tunnel containers have a number of advantages over traditional shipping that can save businesses money. One of the biggest advantages is that they don't need the use of cranes. This could save businesses lots of money, particularly when they need to lease cranes for loading and unloading cargo on a regular basis. Another advantage is that they can be placed higher than traditional containers. This can save the space in storage yards and reduces shipping costs. Additionally, they are a great choice for companies that have to store and transport large machinery.
Contrary to conventional shipping containers, the tunnel container has double doors at both ends. This design makes them much more accessible to storage items, as opposed to conventional containers which only have a door on one side. It also helps to speed up container handling and improve efficiency at the port. This will help reduce delays and other costs that are associated with container handling on ships.
Tunnel containers are also a good choice for transporting equipment and machinery. Our customers have used tunnel containers to transport everything from generators to water treatment plants, to tents and awnings for roadshows. The double-end access also makes it easier and faster loading of equipment and other supplies into the units.
The units can be customized to suit various needs and are available in a 'one-trip new condition. You could, for instance, convert the tunnel container into a portable security office with a turntable and manual entry checkpoint. You can also transform them into food and retail stands for markets or events.
Tunnel containers are also a great solution to store plant equipment and offer easy, secure access for employees. We've even seen them transformed into office spaces, providing an affordable way for businesses to house their employees while working. Containers can be easily transported to the next trade show location or road show, reducing time and expense on set up. They can also be fitted with a retractable roofing system to provide additional protection against adverse weather conditions.
