Advantages of a Tunnel Container
A tunnel container comes with double doors on both sides making it easy to access cargo from either side. This makes it ideal for the storage of large objects like vehicles and machinery.
They are often used to guard the site as turnstiles and entry points, their dual entrances also make them ideal for self-storage containers in which the installation of a partition could divide the 20ft units into two 10ft ones.
Easy Accessibility
The main difference between tunnel containers and regular shipping containers is that tunnel containers come with doors at both ends. This dual access point makes it much easier to load and unload cargo, which is a major advantage for companies with specific requirements in regards to storage and transportation.
Our client required a space to store large machines and tools needed for the maintenance of their railway-centric site. We repurposed two shipping containers as cabins and put an access door on one of the long sides, installed PIR insulation and heaters to make the area suitable for use all year round. We also added lighting, two sockets, and a 16A power supply.
Tunnel containers are the ideal place to store their valuable equipment away from the view of the public and allowing employees to easily access it to perform maintenance and repair. The containers are positioned on an elevated platform to shield their contents from weather damage and prevent flooding.
We can install electric or manual rollers on the sides to create a secure entrance point for customers who have an ongoing need for a tunnel container. This is ideal for places where security checks must be conducted when people enter and leave the premises.
Tunnel containers can be outfitted with a reversible top to create a fully enclosed, waterproof and windproof environment. This will guard against the elements during transportation or in storage. This is particularly beneficial for businesses with sensitive materials that must be kept at a steady temperature, such as pharmaceuticals or food items.
Our customers have used our tunnel containers for a range of applications including retail and housing to office space on site and even as trade show booths.

Easy Stuffing and De Stuffing
It's a big undertaking to fill and de-stuff shipping containers. It requires planning, warehouse workers and the proper equipment to ensure the task is completed efficiently and swiftly. It also requires a lot of storage space at the facility for stuffing and the warehouse that receives the container.
When packing a container, the most important thing to do is ensure that everything you need will fit comfortably in the container. This will reduce the risk of damage to your cargo from compression or shifting during transport. You'll want to leave enough room for the handling and inspection of your items. Make sure the container is sealed and all doors are closed.
The tunnel container also permits you to access the items from both ends. This is important as it reduces time and makes it easier to get your goods in and out of the tunnel container. This feature is particularly useful in cases where you're using the container for a storefront or for security purposes.
The standard double doors are located at both ends of a single-trip tunnel shipping container. This makes it simple to load and unload cargo. This makes it ideal for storing large and bulky items such as vehicles or machinery. Self-storage businesses utilize these units to store and rotate goods that they don't use on a regular basis. In addition to that, portable space can be used to install steel bulkheads within the container to create two distinct storage compartments in case you require a more secure option for your goods.
The tunnel shipping container is an excellent alternative for those who want to transport dangerous products or materials. It is a convenient and secure alternative to transporting items in a truck or van and protects the contents against weather and pests. It also offers better security for valuables and sensitive equipment. It's an excellent option to ship less than container loads (LCL) which can help reduce the risk of goods getting damaged or missing during transport.
Easy Unloading and Loading
Tunnel containers are an excellent option when you're trying to transport cargo that requires access to the area. They have two cargo doors on both ends making it easier to unload and load cargo. Additionally, they're often significantly cheaper than side-opening containers. This makes them a great alternative when you're transporting bulky, heavy cargo.
A tunnel container can also improve your business by increasing storage capacity. They are usually larger than the standard sizes of shipping containers and therefore can accommodate more cargo. Furthermore, they can be altered to meet a specific need. For example, they can be made into containers for car carriers, which is used to transport cars.
Tunnel Containers can also be transformed into a temporary ticket entry or bridge at large events. Portable Space can weld in steel bulkheads to create two distinct 10ft storage compartments in the 20ft tunnel container to provide the most cost-effective solution than buying two standard containers. This is also a great option for self-storage businesses who wish to offer their clients access to their sites in a more efficient manner.
These containers are also ideal for construction sites. They can be used to provide a secure way through a construction site with both ends of the container being open and lockable. This allows workers to be able to easily navigate through the tunnel and keeps unwanted traffic out.
You can convert tunnel containers for security by installing a turnstile, or an automated secure entry checkpoint when users pass through the container. Tunnel containers can be bought new from manufacturers, or second-hand and adapted to a specific use such as retail or site housing.
Tunnel containers are a versatile solution for a variety of applications, from shipping to storage and conversion. They are available in a variety of sizes and are transported via rail or road. They're also ISO-certified and CSC-plated. This means they are compliant with international standards of intermodal transportation. This makes them a good option for your next project.
