The Top Reasons People Succeed In The Tunnel Containers Industry
Tunnel Containers
The main characteristic of tunnel containers, as the name implies is the double doors at the two ends of the container. This significantly improves accessibility and makes tunnel containers ideal for storage and handling.
You can also turn them into self-storage units with the addition of the partition. We have helped customers utilize them for storage of plant machinery and for secure access to sites using turnstiles.
Dual Access
A tunnel container is an alternative to a standard shipping container with double doors at both ends. It is also known as a 'double-end door container' or a tunnel container, These containers allow access to stored items from both ends.
The dual-end access allows for cargo to be loaded and unloaded from either side of the container, which is ideal for transporting bulkier or larger items that otherwise would need to be backed into and out of the container. The double-end access removes the necessity of unloading the entire container to access the goods that are stored within, which saves time and minimizes the risk of damage during transportation.
This unique feature makes tunnel containers versatile and flexible. They can be used to satisfy a variety of storage and transport requirements and can also be converted into mobile offices or living spaces. And because they're made from rugged and corrosion-resistant Corten steel they are able to endure even the most extreme weather conditions.

We can produce them in single- and double-sided variants and also in various lengths. However the custom-sized tunnel containers is more expensive than a standard shipping container, so we suggest selecting the one that is closest to your requirements.
Temperature-Sensitive Goods
The storage of the most dangerous products like explosives or flammable liquids is best done at optimal temperatures. Any fluctuations in temperature can affect their stability, and lead to a fire or release 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.
Often these fluctuations can be difficult to identify, especially during a hectic workday. This is why it's essential that container terminals have an instrument that provides real-time temperature monitoring for all reefer containers inside their facility. This enables personnel to respond quickly to any abnormalities and avoid any risk.
Tunnel containers are a practical option when it comes to transporting and storing temperature-sensitive goods. Double doors are located at both ends of the container, which makes it easier to load and unload during transportation and storage. They can be used to store large objects like vehicles and machinery.
