Tunnel Container Uses

Tunnel containers are also known as double door shipping containers, they have the same dimensions as a the standard ISO container, however the difference is that they open at both ends. This allows for quick access to the cargo and is useful when you are using the container for storage or conversion project.

Transport

A tunnel container is ideal for a variety of uses. The dual entry points permit easy access to equipment and other materials at either end making it much easier for palletised goods to be moved using forklifts. It also makes the management of stock flow simpler. Tunnel containers are commonly used as temporary bridges on construction sites, and as ticket entry points for festivals or other events.

They also make ideal for self-storage. With the erection of the bulkhead partition made of steel, a 20ft tunnel containers tunnel can be transformed into two 10ft units, maximizing return on investment. Tunnel containers can be modified in a variety of ways. They can be fitted with side windows and lighting which makes them more practical for businesses.

The double doors on both ends of the container also make it perfect for storing bulky or larger items. This is particularly beneficial for warehouses, where it can be difficult to fit large equipment and vehicles into standard shipping containers. You can save time by not having to constantly move the container.

Tunnel containers can be fitted with heating and cooling systems, enabling them to be used for temperature controlled storage of goods such as food, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and electronic equipment. They can also be equipped with ventilation to avoid condensation.

Like standard shipping containers, tunnel containers are available in 20ft and 40ft sizes. They comply with ISO shipping standards as well as being CSC plated for international freight usage and can be weatherproofed with the addition of insulation.

They can be mounted on tracks or truck frames or transported on flat-bed or chassis trucks. They're also a great option for law enforcement equipment, as they can be easily moved between bases and may prevent unwanted identification of expensive equipment such as command and control centres or mobile operating theatres. They can be shipped with a variety of weapons, including missile launchers. The Container City in Cholula, Mexico is an excellent example of how the old sea containers can be converted into galleries, restaurants, workshops - and homes!

Stores

Double-end doors containers, also known as Tunnel Containers, allow access to the items stored on both sides of a container. This makes it easy to load and unloading, as as full utilization of the storage space. These units are ideal for self-storage facilities as they permit access to both sides without having to take items off. This is especially useful for those who need to store bulky, large or awkward items such as machinery and heavy equipment.

The tunnel container design allows for these units to be easily converted into offices or storage spaces that are secure. Tunnel containers unlike open-sided shipping containers can be opened from either end and locked at the other end. They are great for constructing offices on-site and even housing, should it be required.

These containers can be used to store specific items. Military units can make use of them to transport expensive systems to temporary locations, such as command and control centers or mobile operating theaters, thereby eliminating the necessity to transport these systems by road.

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

For those who want to transport a more dangerous cargo such as biological or chemical substances These units can be fitted with a special thermal insulation and controlled temperature control system. This allows them to maintain the temperature at a low level and prevents any spoilage during transportation.

These units can also be fitted with a removable tarp cover, providing extra flexibility for loading and unloading. This allows tall or bulky items that aren't able to fit in traditional shipping containers to be transported, including massive machinery wood, construction materials or other large items. To ensure security, these containers can also be fitted with a high-security lockbox that prevents access from the top of the container.

Stuffing & De Stuffing

When it is about storage and shipping logistics professionals use a variety of terms to describe the ways cargo is prepared for transport and moved through the supply chain. These terms refer to container stuffing and de-stuffing, which are the method by which goods are loaded into or removed from containers for shipping. Understanding these concepts is important to the success of any business which uses shipping containers for storage or distribution.

Stuffing a container tunnel requires strategically placing cargo in order to maximize space and meet particular logistical needs. Based on the nature of the cargo specific packing and loading methods should be employed to prevent damage during transport. It is essential to place the bulkiest cargo on the bottom and stack lighter items on top. Also it is crucial to take appropriate security measures to stop the cargo from shifting in transit. Optimizing the load of the container helps reduce handling, shipping and labor costs, and also ensures compliance with regulations to ensure safe transportation.

Unloading or de-stuffing a container, is an important process to maintain the efficiency of your supply chain. This process removes any excess freight from a shipping container, and requires careful inspection to identify any signs of water damage or other physical damage that could affect the integrity of the cargo. De-stuffing can only be accomplished when the logistics company and shipper communicate effectively and abide by all regulations.

Refurbished tunnel containers are an affordable solution for businesses that require an efficient and secure access point to their site. They can be modified to offer the option of a turnstile or a manual entry checkpoint, which blocks access to restricted areas within the facility. These units are popular for temporary bridges and as ticket entrances for big events.

Tunnel containers aren't the most sought-after kind of shipping container, but they are gaining popularity for multimodal logistics. The double-end doors are ideal for storage and shipping because they are accessible from both ends. They are often used for self storage by businesses who require dual access to their stock. Portable Space can weld steel bulkhead partitions inside containers that are 20 feet long to create two separate 10ft compartments. This is less expensive than purchasing new storage containers.

Security

Tunneling is a method to set up an instant point-to-point connection over a network. It encapsulates the packets using a single routing protocol within other protocols to ensure that routers at both ends of a tunnel can connect directly with each other.

This lets different applications use a common infrastructure. For instance, a business can use tunnels to access public internet and internal resources. This will help them to maintain uniform security policies for all employees and customers. Using tunnels, the company can also protect sensitive information from being intercepted through the public network.

Container cargo loads, even though they are made of steel, are still vulnerable to theft. Thieves have become sophisticated in their methods, and they can often get inside a container by removing its doors or hinges. It is therefore essential that businesses take steps to ensure that their containers are not stolen.

One way to do this is to put a lockbox on the doors. These are welded steel shrouds that fit around the lug on the door which holds the padlock. They make it very difficult to reach the padlock's area using bolt cutters. Companies can also add an alarm with high security that will alert the company when someone tries to cut through the lockbox.

Installing turnstiles, or a manual entry checkpoint that has secure access, is a different way to increase security. This is especially useful when people are arriving in large numbers. It is a great way to 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 different sizes and configurations which means that businesses can find the best one to meet their requirements. For instance, some are designed for bulky items like machinery and vehicles. Some containers come with doors on both sides to make loading and unloading easier. And, there are even refrigerated containers that can be used to transport fresh food.
