Tunnel Shipping Container
Also called double door shipping containers, tunnel containers have a set of cargo doors at each end. This makes them ideal for large items.
The 2013 KOBE Biennale saw the designers Masakazu Shirane & Saya Miyazaki design an ethereal container tunnel. It is the first instance of Zipper Architecture, where the surfaces open and close like windows.
Easy Loading and Unloading
If you're shipping products or simply using a container to store your goods to store your items, it's important to make sure your cargo is properly secured. Otherwise, you're at risk of damage to your belongings as well as the possibility of your shipment falling in transit. To avoid this it is important to use load-securing materials to keep your items. This includes straps and load bars wood bracing, plywood bracing, and even a dunnage bag.
There are a variety of shipping containers available on the market, tunnel containers are especially beneficial for storage and transport because they provide easy access to the items inside. They have double doors at both ends. This makes it simple to unload or load items. This makes them a great choice for loading vehicles like snowmobiles and motorbikes.
Tunnel containers are also a popular choice for storing items, like machinery and heavy equipment. The dual entry points make it much easier to move your equipment in and out of the container without having to reverse a vehicle or tractor. They are also perfect for storage on site, since they can be altered to have an opening in the middle.
Tunnel containers also have an additional door on the side wall (long). This gives them the same accessibility as open-side storage containers however at a lower price.
Another benefit of tunnel container s is that they can be fitted with lighting and side windows. This lets them be used as offices or warehouse space. This type of modification is very cost-effective especially if you need to store a significant amount of equipment.
Tunnel shipping containers can also be fitted with a refrigeration system, which is an effective way to preserve temperature-sensitive goods. These containers are often referred to as refrigerated ISO containers or reefer containers, and can be used for a range of purposes, such as cold storage and distribution of fresh food.
Enhanced Security
Security is paramount when it comes time to store sensitive or valuable items. While shipping containers are highly secure by design, there are additional features that can be put in place to increase security. These modification options include steel window bars, alarm systems and security cameras. These features can be installed both inside and outside the container to make it harder for unauthorized individuals to gain access.
A tunnel container can also be fitted with an additional high-security lock. The lock locks the door and blocks unauthorized access. A locking box can be used to secure the lock, which increases security by making it impossible for tampering to occur. A crossbar lock can be added to the doors of the container which makes it harder for anyone to open the door open.
Shipping container tunnels are also extremely adaptable and can be adapted to satisfy a variety of requirements. For instance, they could be used as an office or workshop, providing the security of workers in volatile environments. They can also be modified to suit a variety of different kinds of equipment and machinery. They can even be outfitted with a ventilation system as well as fork pockets, allowing them to be easily moved on industrial forklifts that are large in size.
In contrast to standard ISO shipping containers that have doors at one end, tunnel containers have double cargo doors on both ends. This provides easy and efficient access, which is crucial for the storage of vehicles and heavy equipment. These attributes make tunnel shipping containers an ideal option for applications requiring the highest degree of flexibility and efficiency.
In the past, these units have been used as ballistic shelters for workers in hostile areas. Specifically, they were shipped to Erbil in Iraq where the threat of terrorist attacks was a constant reality. Designed and built in collaboration with local engineers the ballistic shipping containers provided workers with a safe place that could be easily reached from their work stations. They also provided quick access to emergency supplies. The specialized ballistic shipping containers were made of high-quality Corten steel, a material known for its outstanding durability.
Versatility
Tunnel shipping containers have double cargo doors on both ends. These containers are also known as double-door containers or tunnel boxes. They provide easy access to the container's interior from either side. This improves their versatility and accessibility. These specialized storage units can be built from scratch as tunnels, or modified from standard one-trip containers. The solid end of a standard container is removed and new double doors are welded into place, allowing two-way access to the inside.
Tunnel containers are a popular way to store large machinery or equipment. You can load and unload heavy equipment easily, without having to reverse your vehicle or risk losing cargo. Dual-end doors allow you to easily rotate the items you store. This is essential for high-frequency uses, such as construction or steel.
Tunnel containers are not only highly versatile, but also cost-effective. They are typically less expensive than traditional storage options and they're perfect for intermodal transport because they can be easily transported on flatbed trucks or trains. They can also be outfitted with sophisticated security systems or ventilation systems, according to your requirements.
Security is also improved by the dual-end doors on tunnel containers. They allow you to monitor the contents of your storage from both sides. This will help reduce loss and theft. This feature is particularly useful when you store expensive equipment or materials.
Tunnel shipping containers are not just functional but also long-lasting and durable. These containers are made of corten steel, which is one of the most durable metals on the planet. The steel-framed containers are designed to withstand ocean travel and the rigors of years of usage.
A tunnel container is the perfect solution for safe storage at home or in your business. They're not just cost-effective and durable however, they're also adaptable enough to be transformed into a comfortable living space or a cozy office space. And with their sleek, modern look they are sure to enhance the look of your office or home.
Cost-Effectiveness
Comparatively to traditional shipping, tunnel containers come with many advantages that can help businesses save money. They don't require a crane which is a significant advantage. This is a major cost savings for businesses that have to rent cranes on an ongoing basis for loading and unloading cargo. Another benefit is that they can be stacked higher than standard containers. This helps to save the space in storage yards and lowers shipping costs. They are also a good option for businesses that need to store or transport large machines.
Contrary to traditional shipping containers the tunnel container comes with double doors at both ends. This design makes them much more accessible to items in storage, compared to conventional containers which only have a door on one side. It also aids in speeding the handling of containers and increase efficiency at the port. This can help to reduce delays and other expenses that come with container arrangements on ships.
A tunnel container is a good choice for transporting equipment and machinery. Our customers have used tunnel containers to transport everything from generators and water treatment plants to awnings and tents for road shows. The double-end access allows for quicker and easier loading of equipment and other supplies into the units.
The units are available in a new 'one trip' condition and can be customized for a variety of uses. You can, for example, convert a tunnel container to a portable security office with a turnstile and a manual entry checkpoint. You can also transform them into retail and food stalls for events or markets.
Tunnel containers are also a great way to store plant machinery and provide safe, easy access for employees. We've seen them being converted into office spaces, offering an affordable way for businesses to accommodate their employees on the job. These containers can also be easily transported to the next trade show location or road event, reducing time and money when setting up. They can also be outfitted with a retractable roof to provide additional protection against adverse weather conditions.
