The ease of loading and unloading

It is essential that your cargo is securely secured regardless of whether you're using a shipping box to store your items or transport them. In the absence of proper security, you could cause damage to your possessions and the possibility of your shipment falling during transport. To avoid such issues it is essential to use load securing products to secure your items. This includes straps, load bars, plywood bracing and even dunnage bags.

They are commonly called refrigerated ISO containers or reefer containers. They are suitable for a variety of applications, such as cold storage and distribution of fresh food.

Security Enhanced

Security is paramount when it comes time to store sensitive or important items. While shipping containers are highly secure by design, there are additional features that can be put in place 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 harder 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 blocks unauthorized access. The lock can also be protected with a locking box, which increases security by blocking the possibility of tampering. A crossbar lock system may be added to the lock that extends across the doors of the container and makes it more difficult to open them open.

This provides easy and efficient access, which is crucial for the storage of vehicles and heavy equipment. These features make tunnel shipping containers an ideal option for applications requiring the highest degree of flexibility and efficiency.
