Tunnel Container Uses

Tunnel containers are also referred to as double door shipping containers, they have the same dimensions as a the standard ISO container, however the different is that they are opened at both ends. This lets cargo access easily and is an excellent feature if you are using containers to store or convert projects.

Transport

Tunnel containers can be used for a variety different reasons. The dual entry points provide easy access to equipment and materials at either end which makes it easier for palletised goods to be transported using forklifts. It also helps in making the management of stock flow easier. Tunnel containers are commonly used as temporary bridges at construction sites, or as ticket entrances for festivals or other events.

They also make ideal for self-storage. By building a bulkhead made of steel the 20ft tunnel containers container can be divided into two 10ft units. This increases the return on investment. Tunnel containers can be customized in a variety of ways. They can be fitted with internal lighting and side windows, making them more convenient for business.

The double doors at both ends of the container make it ideal for storing large or bulky items. This is particularly helpful in warehouses where it can be difficult to fit large machinery or vehicles into regular shipping containers. You can save a lot of time by not having to continuously move the container.

tunnel shipping containers containers can be fitted with cooling and heating systems, allowing them to be used for temperature controlled storage of goods such as foods chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and electronic equipment. They can also be equipped with ventilation systems to stop condensation.

As with standard shipping containers tunnel containers are also available in 20ft tunnel containers and 40ft sizes. They meet ISO shipping standards and are CSC coated for international freight and can be weatherproofed by the addition of insulation.

They can be transported on flat-bed trucks or chassis or mounted on a frame for a truck or tracks. They are a great choice for military and law enforcement equipment since they can easily be transported between bases. This may also prevent unwanted identification of expensive equipment, such as command and control centers or mobile operating theaters. They can be transported with various weapons including missile launchers. Container City in Cholula is a wonderful example of how an old sea container can be transformed into workshops, restaurants galleries, and even homes!

Stores

Double end door containers or Tunnel Containers as they are popularly referred to, give access to storage items from both ends of the container. This allows for easy loading and unloading, as as full utilization of the storage space. These units are ideal for self-storage facilities as they allow access to both sides without the need to take items off. This is particularly beneficial for those who must store massive, bulky or awkward items such as machinery and heavy equipment.

In addition the tunnel container design permits these units to be converted easily into offices or other secure storage spaces. Tunnel containers unlike open side shipping containers can be opened from either end and locked at the other end. They are perfect for creating offices on-site and even housing, should it be required.

These containers can be used to store specific items. Military units can utilize containers to transport expensive equipment to temporary locations like command and controls centres or mobile operating theaters thereby eliminating the necessity of moving these systems by road.

Similarly, specialised industrial equipment such as generators and turbines can be transported in this way as well. This enables the rapid deployment of critical infrastructure to regions where it is required which reduces the time and expense associated with constructing fixed infrastructure.

These units are able to be fitted with the ability to control temperature and thermal insulation in the event that you are shipping dangerous cargo such as biological or chemical materials. This allows them to maintain an unalterable temperature and ensures that there is no spoilage during transit.

These units can also be fitted with a tarp cover that can be removed, providing extra flexibility for loading and unloading. This permits tall or bulky cargo to be transported that otherwise would not fit in traditional shipping containers, such as timber, construction materials or large machines. These containers can be outfitted with high security lockboxes that stop entry from the top.

Stuffing & De Stuffing

When it is about storage and shipping logistics professionals use a variety of terms to describe how cargo is readied for transport and moved through the supply chain. Container stuffing and destuffing are terms that describe the process of removing or loading goods from a shipping box. Understanding these concepts will aid any company that relies on shipping containers for storage or distribution to be successful.

Stuffing a container tunnel involves carefully placing the cargo in order to maximize space and meet specific logistic requirements. Based on the nature of the cargo, specific packing and loading methods must be used to prevent damage during transport. It is crucial to place the bulkiest cargo on the bottom, and place lighter items on top. Also it is essential to use appropriate measures of security to stop the cargo from shifting in transit. Optimizing the container load helps reduce handling, shipping and labour costs and ensures compliance with the regulations to ensure safe transportation.

When the container arrives at its destination the container is unloaded or de-stuffing is an essential step in ensuring the efficiency of supply chain. This process eliminates any excess freight from a container for shipping, and requires careful inspection to find signs 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 communicate effectively and adhere to all applicable regulations.

For businesses that require a safe and secure site access point, a refurbished tunnel container is a cost-effective option. These containers can be transformed to a turnstile or an entry checkpoint that is manually operated to block access to restricted areas of the facility. These units are also popular as bridges for temporary use, and for use as ticket entrances for large events.

While a tunnel container isn't the most common kind of container for shipping however, they're becoming more popular in multimodal logistics applications. They are ideal for both shipping and storing, as their double-ended doors allow access from either side. Self-storage is an option for businesses that want to have two access points to their inventory. Portable Space can weld in steel bulkhead partitions to convert an 20ft tunnel container into two storage compartments of 10 feet each that are much less expensive than purchasing new storage containers.

Security

Tunneling is a method used to establish a direct connection between two points on the network. It encapsulates the packets using a single routing protocol that is integrated into other protocols, so that routers at either end of a tunnel can connect directly with each other.

This permits different applications to use a common infrastructure. A company, for example can build tunnels to connect its internal resources and the public internet. This will help them to maintain consistent security policies for all employees and customers. The company can also protect sensitive data from being intercepted through tunnels.

Container cargo loads, even though they are made of steel, are still vulnerable to theft. The methods used by thieves have changed and they are now able to break into steel containers by cutting off the hinges or doors. This is why it's crucial for businesses to put in place measures to prevent their containers from being stolen.

The installation of a lockbox to the door is one way to achieve this. These are welded steel shrouds that fit around the lug on the container door that holds the padlock. They make it very difficult to access the area of the padlock using bolt cutters. The company can also include a high security alarm that alerts the company if someone attempts to cut through the lockbox.

Installing turnstiles, or a manual entry checkpoint that has secure access, is another method to enhance security. This is particularly helpful in events where people are arriving in large numbers. This can be used to protect guests from wind and rain, while allowing security to conduct inspections at the location.
