Tunnel Container Uses

Tunnel containers are also referred to as double door shipping containers, they have the same dimensions as the standard ISO container, however the different is that they are opened at both ends. This feature allows for easy access to the cargo, and is helpful for those who use the container for storage or conversion project.

Transport

Tunnel containers can be used for many different uses. The dual entry points allow for easy access to equipment and materials from both ends making it much easier for palletised items to be transported using a forklift, and also helps in making the management of stock flow simpler. Tunnel containers are typically used as temporary bridges at construction sites, as well as ticket entrances to events like festivals.

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

The double doors on both ends of the container make it perfect for storing large or bulky items. This is particularly beneficial for warehouses, since it can be difficult to get large machinery and vehicles inside regular shipping containers. It will save you a huge amount of time when you don't need to constantly reposition the container, allowing you to keep moving merchandise throughout the day.

Tunnel containers can be outfitted with cooling and heating units which allow them to be used for temperature-controlled storage for goods such foods, chemicals and pharmaceuticals. They can also be fitted with ventilation to avoid condensation.

20 ft tunnel container containers are available in 20ft or 40ft sizes, similar to traditional shipping containers. They meet ISO shipping container tunnel standards and CSC coated to be used for international freight. They can also be made weatherproof by adding insulation.

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

Stores

Double end doors containers, also known as Tunnel Containers, allow access to the stored items on both ends of a container. This makes it easier to gain access for loading/unloading and allows for full utilisation of storage space. This makes these units ideal as self storage facilities, giving access to both sides of the container, without having to remove items. This is particularly beneficial for those who need to store more bulky, awkward or large items such as machinery and heavy equipment.

In addition to this the tunnel container's design allows them to be easily converted into offices or other storage spaces that are secure. Unlike open side shipping containers that need to be completely unloaded to gain access to the contents tunnel containers can be opened from both ends and closed again. This allows them to be used for the construction of on-site offices and even housing, if needed.

These containers can be used to store special items. Military units can make use of containers to transport expensive equipment to temporary locations, such as command and control centers or mobile operating theaters thus avoiding the need to move these systems by road.

Similarly, specialised industrial equipment such as generators and turbines can be shipped similarly. This enables rapid deployment of critical infrastructure in areas where it is required significantly reducing the time and expense associated with installing fixed infrastructure.

These units can be equipped with a temperature control system and a thermal insulation if you are shipping dangerous cargo, like biological or chemical substances. This allows the unit to maintain an extremely low temperature, which will prevent any loss or damage.

These units can also be fitted with a removable tarp cover that allows for greater flexibility in loading and unloading. This allows large or heavy cargo that would not fit into the standard shipping containers to be transported, including large machinery, timber, construction materials or other large items. To ensure security, these containers may also be fitted with a high security lockbox that blocks entry from the top of the container.

Stuffing & De Stuffing

Logistics professionals use various terms to describe how cargo is prepared for transport and then moved along a supply chain. These terms refer to container stuffing and de-stuffing. These terms refer to the method by which goods are loaded into or removed from containers for shipping. Understanding these concepts is essential to the success of any company which uses shipping containers for storage or distribution.

Stuffing a tunnel container requires carefully placing cargo in order to maximize space and meet specific logistical requirements. Depending on the nature of the cargo, specific packing and loading techniques must be used to prevent damage during transport. This includes placing the most heavy items on the bottom, stacking lighter ones on top and utilizing the appropriate securing measures to keep cargo from shifting in transit. Optimizing the load in the container helps to reduce shipping and handling costs, as well as labour costs per unit and ensures that the container is in compliance with regulations to ensure safe transport.

When the container arrives at its destination, container de-stuffing or unloading is an essential step in ensuring the efficiency of supply chain. This process eliminates any excess freight from a container for shipping, and involves careful inspection to detect signs of water damage or other physical damage that could threaten the integrity of the cargo. Regulatory compliance and effective communication between the logistics company and the shipper are essential to a successful de-stuffing operation.

For companies that require a safe and secure site access point, a refurbished tunnel container is a cost-effective solution. The containers can be modified to serve as the option of a turnstile or a manual entry checkpoint that blocks access to restricted areas within the facility. These units are also popular for bridges that are temporary and as ticket entrances at large events.

While a tunnel container isn't the most common kind of container for shipping container tunnel however, they're becoming more popular in multimodal logistics applications. The double-end doors are ideal for storage and shipping, as they can be opened from both ends. Self-storage is a popular choice for companies that want to have two access points to their inventory. Portable Space can weld in steel bulkhead partitions that convert a 20ft 20 ft tunnel containers container into two separate 10ft storage compartments and is a lot less than purchasing new storage containers.

Security

Tunneling is a method used to establish an immediate connection between two points on the network. It encapsulates the packets using a single routing protocol that is integrated into other protocols to ensure that routers at both ends of a tunnel can connect directly with each other.

This lets different applications share a common infrastructure. For instance, a company can create tunnels to connect its internal resources with the public internet. This will help them to maintain the same security standards for all employees and customers. Using tunnels, the company can also shield sensitive information from being stolen on the public network.

Container cargo loads, even though they are made of steel, are still susceptible to theft. Thieves have become sophisticated in their techniques, and they can often take a container and break it into pieces by taking its hinges or doors off. It is therefore essential that businesses take the necessary steps to ensure that their containers are not stolen.

One method to accomplish this is to set up a lockbox on the doors. They are welded steel shrouds that fit over the lug on the container door which holds the padlock. They make it very difficult to get into the padlock's location using bolt cutters. In addition, companies can add an alarm with a high security level that will alert them if someone tries to cut into the lockbox.

Installing a turnstile, or a manual entry checkpoint with secure access, is a different method to enhance security. This is especially useful when people are entering in large numbers. It can be used to keep guests away from the rain and wind, while allowing security personnel to conduct checks as people enter the venue.

Shipping containers are available in different sizes and conditions. This allows businesses to select the container that best fits their needs. Some are designed to hold bulky items such as vehicles and machinery. Some are equipped with doors at both ends making them easier to load and unload. And, there are even refrigerated containers that can be used to transport fresh food items.
