Tunnel Shipping Container
Also known as double door shipping containers, tunnel containers come with the 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. It is the first example of Zipper Architecture, where the surfaces can be opened and closed like windows.
Easy loading and unloading
It's important that your cargo is securely secured, whether you're using a shipping box to store products or transport them. Otherwise, you risk damages to your belongings as well as the possibility of your shipment falling in transit. Use load securing materials to keep your items in place to avoid these problems. This includes load bars, straps for plywood bracing and dunnage bags.
Tunnel containers are the most efficient for transporting and storing cargo. They are simple to access. Tunnel containers come with double doors on both sides, making it easy to unload and load items. They are perfect for loading vehicles, such as motorbikes and skis.
Tunnel containers are popular for storage of heavy equipment and machinery. The dual entry points make it much easier to get your equipment out and in of the container without having to reverse a vehicle or tractor. They are also perfect for storage on-site, as they can be altered to include a partition in the middle.
In addition to the standard double doors on both the end walls, tunnel containers come with an additional door in the side (long) wall. This provides them with the same access as storage containers with an open side, but at a lower cost.
Tunnel containers can also come with side windows and lighting. This lets them function as a storage area or office. This kind of change is very cost-effective especially if you need to store a lot of equipment.
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 including cold storage and fresh food distribution.
Security Enhanced
Security is a must when it comes time to store sensitive or valuable items. Shipping containers are designed to be highly secured, but there are additional features that can enhance security. Modification options include steel window bars and alarm systems. These options can be put in both inside and outside the container making it difficult for anyone who is not authorized to gain access.
In addition to these security features, a tunnel container can be equipped with a high-security lock. This locks the door and prevents the entry of anyone who is not authorized. The lock can also be secured by a locking box which further increases security by blocking tampering. A crossbar lock is a good addition to the container's doors which makes it harder for anyone to break the door off.
Shipping container tunnels are extremely adaptable and can be modified to accommodate a variety of needs. They can be used for an office or workshop and provide a safe environment for workers who are in stressful situations. They can also be modified to fit many different types of equipment and machinery. They can also be equipped with a fork pocket and ventilation systems making them easy to move on large industrial forklifts.
Contrary to typical ISO shipping containers, which have doors on one side tunnel containers feature double cargo doors on both ends. This allows for easy and quick access, which is vital for storing vehicles and heavy equipment. These features make the tunnel shipping container an ideal solution for applications that require a high level of versatility and efficiency.
These units were previously used as ballistic shelters for workers who worked in hostile environments. They were transported to Erbil, Iraq where terrorist attacks were commonplace. In collaboration with local engineers, the ballistic shipping containers offered workers a safe haven that was easily accessible from their work stations. The containers also made it simple to access emergency supplies. The ballistic containers were made of high-quality Corten steel, which is known for its outstanding durability.
Versatility
A tunnel shipping container comes with double cargo doors on both ends. They are also referred to as double-door containers or tunnel boxes. They provide easy access to the inside of the container from either end. This improves their versatility and their usability. These specialized storage units are available as tunnels, or they can be modified from standard containers. The solid part of the standard container is removed, and new double doors welded into place to create two-way interior access.
Tunnel containers are very popular for storing large equipment or machinery. You can load and unload heavy equipment easily, without having reverse your vehicle or risking losing cargo. Dual-end doors let you easily rotate the items you store. This is important for high-frequency uses, like steel or construction.
Apart from being extremely versatile tunnel containers are extremely cost-effective. They are typically less expensive than traditional storage options, and can be transported easily on flatbed trucks or by trains. Furthermore they can be outfitted with the latest security features or ventilation systems to meet your specific needs and requirements.
Security is also enhanced by the dual-end doors on a tunnel container. They allow you to monitor your stored items from both sides. This can help prevent theft and loss. This feature is particularly useful when you store expensive equipment or other materials.
Tunnel shipping containers aren't only functional, but also durable and long-lasting. They are made of corten steel which is one of the most durable metals on the planet. In fact these steel-framed shipping containers are built to withstand the demands of traveling by sea and endure for the rigors of daily use for a long time.
A tunnel container is the ideal solution for safe storage at home or in your business. They're not just economical and durable, but they're also versatile enough to be transformed into a comfortable home office or beautiful living space. With their sleek, modern look the shipping containers will surely enhance the appeal of your business or home.
Cost-Effectiveness
In comparison to traditional shipping, tunnel containers offer many advantages that can aid businesses in saving money. They don't require cranes which is an important benefit. This could save businesses lots of money, particularly if they have to rent cranes for the purpose of loading and unloading cargo regularly. They can also be stacked higher than standard shipping containers. This helps to save space in storage yards, and also reduces the cost of shipping. They are also a good option for companies that need to store or transport large machines.
Contrary to traditional shipping containers, tunnel containers have doors at both ends. This makes it easier to reach items in storage compared to containers that have only one door. It also aids in speeding the handling of containers and increase efficiency at the port. This can help reduce delays and costs related to container arrangements on ships.
A tunnel container is an ideal option 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 makes it easier and faster loading of equipment and supplies into the units.
They can be modified to suit various needs and are available in a 'one-trip new condition. You can, for example, convert tunnel containers into a mobile security office equipped with a turnstile and manual entry checkpoint. You can also convert them into retail and food market stalls for events and markets.
Tunnel containers are also a great way to store plant equipment and provide easy, safe access for employees. We've seen them converted into offices, which is an economical way for companies to house their workers while working. Containers can be easily transported to the next location of a trade show or road show, saving time and expense on set up. In tunnel container applications , they can be fitted with a retractable roof to give extra protection from weather conditions.
