Tunnel Container Uses

Tunnel containers are also known as double door shipping containers, they have the same dimensions as a standard ISO container, however the distinction is that they open at both ends. This allows access to cargo easily and is a useful feature if you intend to use containers for storage or conversion projects.

Transport

A tunnel container can be used for many different reasons. The dual entry points provide easy access to equipment and materials from both ends making it much easier for palletised items to be moved by forklifts, and helps in making the management of stock flow simpler. Tunnel containers are commonly used as temporary bridges on construction sites, and also as ticket entry points for events like festivals.

They are also ideal for self-storage. By installing a steel bulkhead partition, a 20ft tunnel can be transformed into two 10ft units, maximizing ROI. Tunnel containers can be modified in a variety of ways, to include lighting inside, as well as side windows, making them even more practical for businesses.

Double doors at both ends of the container make it ideal for the storage of large or bulky items. This is especially useful in warehouses where it may be difficult to fit huge machinery or vehicles into regular shipping containers. You can save time by not having to continually move the container.

Tunnel containers can be equipped with cooling and heating units which allow them to be used as temperature-controlled storage containers for items like pharmaceuticals, food, and chemicals. They can also be fitted with ventilation to prevent condensation.

Like normal shipping containers tunnel containers are also available in both 20ft and 40ft sizes. They are compliant with ISO shipping standards and are CSC plated for international freight and can be made weatherproof by adding insulation.

They can be positioned on tracks or truck frames or transported on flat-bed or chassis trucks. They are a great option for military and law enforcement equipment since they can easily be moved between bases. This could also help to hinder the identification of expensive equipment, such as command-and-control centres or mobile operating theaters. They can be transported with various weapons such as missile launchers. The Container City in Cholula, Mexico is an excellent example of how the old sea containers can be transformed into restaurants, galleries and workshops - as well as homes!

Stores

Double-end door containers, or Tunnel Containers as they are commonly known, provide access to stored items from both ends of the container. This allows for simple loading and unloading, as well making full use of the storage space. These units are ideal for self-storage facilities as they allow access to both sides without having to remove items. This is especially beneficial for those who have to store large, bulky or awkward objects like machinery and heavy equipment.

In addition the tunnel container's design permits these units to be easily converted into offices or other secure storage spaces. In contrast to open-sided shipping containers, which must be completely unloaded to gain access to the contents tunnel containers can be opened from both ends and closed again. They are great for constructing offices on site, and even housing, if required.

These containers can be used to store special items. Military units can make use of containers to transport expensive equipment to temporary locations like command and controls centres or mobile operating theatres, which eliminates the need to move these systems by road.

This method can also be used to ship specialised industrial equipment like turbines or generators. This allows for the rapid deployment of critical infrastructure to areas where it is needed which reduces the time and expense associated with the installation of fixed infrastructure.

These units can be outfitted with the ability to control temperature and a thermal insulation if you are shipping a dangerous cargo, like biological or chemical materials. This allows them to keep a constant low temperature and avoid any loss during transport.

These containers can be outfitted with tarp covers that can be removed which offer greater flexibility when loading and unloading. This allows large or heavy items that wouldn't fit into traditional shipping containers to be transported, like huge machinery, timber, construction materials or other heavy items. For extra security, these containers can also be equipped with a lockbox of high security that prevents access from the top of the container.

Stuffing & De Stuffing

Logistics professionals use different terms to describe the way cargo is ready for transport and how it is moved through the supply chain. These terms cover container stuffing as well as de-stuffing, which refer to the process by which goods are taken out of or loaded into the shipping container. Understanding these concepts will assist any business that uses shipping containers for distribution or storage to succeed.

Stuffing a tunnel container is carefully placing cargo in order to maximize space and meet specific logistical requirements. Based on the nature of the cargo, specific packing techniques and loading methods are required to avoid damage during transport. It is important to put the largest cargo on the bottom and place lighter items on top. Additionally it is crucial to use appropriate measures of security to prevent cargo from shifting during transit. Optimising the container load also helps to reduce shipping, handling, and labour costs per unit, and also ensures regulatory compliance for safe transport.

Upon arrival at the destination, container de-stuffing or unloading is an essential step in maintaining the efficiency of the supply chain. This process eliminates any excess freight from a shipping container, and involves careful inspection to identify any indications of water damage or other physical damage that could compromise the integrity of the cargo. De-stuffing is only feasible when the logistics company and shipper can communicate effectively and adhere to all applicable regulations.

For businesses that require a safe and secure access point to their site using a refurbished tunnel container is a cost-effective option. These containers can be converted into a turnstile, or an entry point that can be manually controlled to restrict access to areas in the facility. These containers are popular for temporary bridges and also as ticket entry points for large events.

tunnel shipping container containers aren't the most sought-after type of shipping container, but they're gaining in popularity for multimodal logistics. They are ideal for both storage and shipping, since their doors that are double-ended allow access from either side. They are frequently used for self storage by businesses who need dual access to their inventory. Portable Space can weld steel bulkhead partitions inside the 20-foot container to create two separate 10ft compartments. This is less expensive than buying new storage containers.

Security

Tunneling is a way to establish a direct connection between two points on a network. It encapsulates packets using one routing protocol that is integrated into other protocols, so that routers at both ends of a tunnel can be directly connected to each other.

This lets different applications share a common infrastructure. For example, a company can have tunnels for public internet and internal resources. This will allow them to have consistent security policies for all employees and customers. The company can safeguard sensitive data from being stolen through tunnels.

Container cargo loads even though they're made of steel, remain vulnerable to theft. The methods of thieves have changed and they are now able to break into a steel container by cutting off the hinges or doors. Therefore, it is essential that businesses take steps to prevent their containers being taken.

The installation of a lockbox to the door is one way to accomplish this. They are steel shrouds that are welded that fit over the lug of the container door which holds the padlock. They make it difficult to access the area of the padlock with bolt cutters. Additionally, businesses can add a high-security alarm that will notify them when someone tries to cut into the lockbox.

Another method of increasing the security of tunnel containers is to set up an automated or manual entry checkpoint. This is particularly helpful in events where people are arriving in large numbers. It can help keep guests safe from rain and wind, while allowing security personnel to inspect the people as they enter the venue.

Shipping containers are available in various dimensions and conditions. This allows businesses to select the one that best suits their needs. For instance, some are made for heavy items like machinery and vehicles. Some are equipped with doors on both sides which make them easier to unload and load. There are refrigerated containers that can be used to transport fresh food items.

All of these options can be found in our inventory, which includes both new one trip containers and IICl5 certified used tunnel containers.
