Tunnel Container Uses

The tunnel shipping containers container is known as a double door shipping container. They have the same dimensions as normal ISO containers, but they open on both ends. This permits access to cargo easily and is an excellent feature if you are using containers for storage or conversion projects.

Transport

Tunnel containers are great for a variety. The dual entry points permit easy access to equipment and other materials at either end, making it easier for palletised goods to be moved by forklifts, and makes the management of stock flow simpler. Tunnel Logistics containers are commonly used as temporary bridges on construction sites and also as ticket entry points for events such as festivals.

They are also a great solution for self-storage. By building a steel bulkhead, a 20ft container can be divided into two 10ft units. This increases the return on investment. Tunnel containers can be modified in various ways, to include internal lighting, and side windows, making them even more practical for companies.

The double doors at both sides of the container also make it ideal for storing bulky or larger items. This is particularly useful in warehouses, where it can be difficult to squeeze huge machinery or vehicles into regular shipping containers. It can save a huge amount of time as you don't have to constantly move the container around which allows you to keep moving goods throughout the day.

Tunnel containers can be equipped with cooling and heating systems, which allows them to be used for temperature controlled storage of items like food chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and electronics. They can also be fitted with ventilation systems to avoid condensation of the merchandise.

Like conventional shipping containers tunnel containers are also available in 20ft tunnel containers and 40ft sizes. They are compliant with ISO shipping standards as well as being CSC coated for international freight usage and are weatherproof with the addition of insulation.

They can be transported on flat-bed chassis or flat-bed trucks, or mounted on a truck frame or tracks. They are also an excellent option for law enforcement equipment as they can be easily moved between bases, and could stop the identification of high-value equipment, such as command and control centres or mobile operating theatres. They can also be transported with a range of weapons including missile launchers. Container City in Cholula is a wonderful example of how old sea container can be transformed into restaurants, workshops galleries, and even homes!

Storage

Double-end door containers, or 40 ft tunnel containers Containers as they are popularly referred to, give access to stored items from both ends of the container. This makes it easy to load and unloading, as well as full utilization of the storage space. These units are ideal for self-storage facilities because they permit access to both sides without having to remove items. This is especially beneficial for those who need to store massive, bulky or awkward objects such as machinery and heavy equipment.

The tunnel container's design allows for these units to be easily transformed into offices or storage spaces that are secure. Unlike open side shipping containers that must be completely empty to gain access to the contents, tunnel containers can simply be opened from either end and the doors locked shut again. This is why they are ideal for creating on-site offices, or even housing if required.

These shipping containers can be used to store specialised items. Military units can utilize them to transport expensive systems to temporary locations such as command and controls centres or mobile operating theaters thus avoiding the need to move these systems via road.

This method can also be used to ship industrial equipment that is specialized like turbines or generators. This allows for rapid deployment of critical infrastructure in areas where it is required, greatly reducing the time and cost involved with the installation of fixed infrastructure.

For those looking to ship something more hazardous such as chemical or biological materials These units can be fitted with a specialized thermal insulation and a controlled temperature control system. This allows them to keep a constant low temperature and prevents any spoilage during transport.

These containers can be outfitted with tarp covers that can be removed that offer additional flexibility when loading and unloading. This allows large or heavy items that wouldn't fit in traditional shipping container tunnel containers to be transported, including large machinery, timber, construction materials or other large items. To ensure security, these units can also be equipped with a high security lockbox that blocks entry from the top of the container.

Stuffing & De Stuffing

Logistics professionals employ different terms to describe the way cargo is ready for transport and how it is moved along a supply chain. These terms cover container stuffing as well as de-stuffing, which are the process through which goods are placed into or removed from the shipping container. Understanding these concepts is essential to the success of any business that uses shipping containers to store or distribute goods.

Stuffing a tunnel container is carefully placing cargo in order to maximize space and meet specific logistics needs. To avoid damage during transit, packing and loading techniques that are specifically for the cargo are required. This means placing the largest items on the bottom, stacking lighter ones on top and utilizing appropriate securing measures to keep the cargo from shifting during transit. Optimizing the load in the container helps reduce shipping and handling costs, as well as labour costs per unit, and also ensures that the container is in compliance with regulations for safe transportation.

On arrival at the destination, container de-stuffing or unloading is an essential step in ensuring the efficiency of supply chain. This process removes excess freight from a container for shipping, and involves careful inspection to identify any indications of water damage or other physical damage that could compromise the integrity of the cargo. Compliance with regulations and effective communication between the logistics company and the shipper are essential to a successful de-stuffing procedure.

Refurbished tunnel containers are an affordable option for businesses who need an efficient and secure access point to their site. These containers can be transformed to a turnstile, or a manual entry checkpoint to prevent access to restricted areas within the facility. These units are also popular for temporary bridges and as ticket entry points at large-scale events.

Tunnel containers aren't the most sought-after kind of shipping container, but they are gaining popularity for multimodal logistics. They are ideal for both shipping and storing, as their double-ended doors allow access from either end. Self-storage is a popular choice for organisations that need to have two access points to their inventory. Portable Space can weld steel bulkhead partitions to the 20-foot container to create two separate 10ft storage compartments. This is much cheaper than buying new storage containers.

Security

Tunneling is one way to set up a direct point-to-point connection across a network. It encapsulates packets that use one routing protocol in conjunction with other protocols so that routers on either side of a tunnel can connect directly with each other.

This allows for different applications to use the same infrastructure. For example, a company can have tunnels for internal resources and the internet. This can help them maintain the same security standards for all employees and customers. Using tunnels, the company can also protect sensitive information from being stolen on the public network.

Container cargo loads, even though they are made of steel, remain vulnerable to theft. Thieves have become quite sophisticated in their techniques, and they can often get inside a container by removing its doors or hinges. It is therefore essential that businesses take measures to prevent their containers being stolen.

Installing a lockbox onto the door is one method to achieve this. They are steel shrouds that are welded that fit over the lug on the door that holds the padlock. They make it very difficult to get into the padlock's area with bolt cutters. The company can also include an alarm with a high level of security that will notify the company when someone tries to cut through the lockbox.

Another method of increasing the security of tunnel containers is to set up a turnstile or manual secure entry checkpoint. This is especially beneficial when people are arriving in large numbers. This can be used to protect guests from rain and wind while allowing security to conduct inspections at the location.

Shipping containers are available in different dimensions and conditions. This allows businesses to choose the right one to meet their requirements. For instance, some are made to accommodate bulky objects like vehicles and machinery. Some containers have doors on both ends to make loading and unloading easier. There are refrigerated containers that can be used to transport fresh food.
