Tunnel Shipping Container
Also known as double door shipping containers, tunnel containers have the cargo doors at each end. This is why they are ideal for larger items.
Designers Masakazu Shirane and Saya Miyazaki designed an ethereal tunnel inside a shipping container for the 2013 KOBE Biennale. Zipper Architecture is the first instance of Zipper Architecture where the surfaces are able to be shut and open like windows.
Easy loading and unloading
It's important that your cargo is secure secured, whether you're using a shipping container to store your items or transport them. Otherwise, you're at risk of damage to your items and the possibility of your shipment falling during transit. To avoid this, it's important to use load securing materials to hold your items. This includes straps, load bars, plywood bracing and even dunnage bags.
Tunnel containers are the most convenient to transport and store cargo. They are simple to access. Tunnel containers have double doors at both ends. This makes it simple to load and unload items. This makes them an excellent choice for loading vehicles like motorbikes and snowmobiles.
Tunnel containers are popular for storage of heavy equipment and machinery. Dual entry points make it easier to move your equipment into and out of the container without having to reverse a vehicle or tractor. They are also great for on-site storage since they can be modified with an opening down the middle to create two usable units from one container.
Tunnel containers also have an additional door on the side wall (long). This allows them to have the same accessibility as storage containers that are open-side but at a lower cost.
Tunnel containers can also be fitted with side windows and lighting. They can be used as a storage area or office. This type of modification can be very cost-effective, especially if you want to store a lot 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 are suitable for a variety of applications for cold storage and distribution of fresh food.
Security Enhanced
When it comes to the storage of sensitive or valuable items, security is of the utmost importance. While shipping containers are secured by design, there are additional options that can be added to further improve security. These options include steel window bars, alarm systems, and cameras for surveillance. These options can be put in both inside and outside the container making it difficult for unauthorised users to gain access.
A tunnel container can also be fitted with an additional high-security lock. This locks the door shut and prevents anyone else from opening the door. The lock can also be shielded with a locking box, which further increases security by stopping tampering. A crossbar lock can be added to the doors of the container to make it more difficult for anyone to open the door open.
Shipping container tunnels are also extremely adaptable and can be altered to meet a variety of needs. For instance, they can be used as a workplace or workshop, offering the security of workers in a volatile environment. They can also be adapted to suit various types of equipment and machinery. They can also be fitted with a ventilation system as well as fork pockets, allowing them to be easily moved on industrial forklifts that are large in size.
Contrary to the standard ISO shipping containers, which have doors on one end, tunnel container features double cargo doors on both ends. This gives you easy and fast access, which is essential for the storage of large vehicles and heavy equipment. These attributes make the tunnel shipping container the ideal solution for projects that require an unbeatable level of flexibility and efficiency.
In the past, these units have been used as ballistic refuges for people working in hostile environments. Particularly, they were transported to Erbil in Iraq where the threat of terrorist attacks was a daily reality. The shipping containers that were ballistic were designed and built by local engineers, working with workers to provide a safe refuge from their workplaces. They also allowed for quick access to emergency supplies. The ballistic containers were made of high-quality Corten steel, known for its outstanding durability.
Versatility
A tunnel shipping container comes with double cargo doors at both ends. These containers are also known as double-door containers or tunnel boxes. They allow easy access to the container's interior from either end. This improves their versatility and usability. These specialized storage units can be used as tunnels or be modified from conventional containers. The solid end of the conventional container is removed and new double doors are welded in place, creating two-way access to interior.
Tunnel containers are a popular method to store large machinery or equipment. It is possible to load and unload heavy equipment quickly, without having reverse your vehicle or risking losing your cargo. Dual-end doors allow you to easily rotate your stored items. This is crucial for high-frequency uses, such as construction or steel.
Besides being incredibly versatile tunnel containers are extremely economical. They are often cheaper than traditional storage solutions and they can be transported easily via flatbed trucks or trains. They can also be equipped with sophisticated security systems or ventilation systems according to your requirements.
Security is also enhanced by the dual-end doors of a tunnel container. They allow you to keep track of your stored items from both sides, which can greatly reduce the possibility of theft and loss. This feature is particularly useful when you're storing expensive or fragile equipment and materials.
In addition to being highly useful, tunnel shipping containers are incredibly durable and long-lasting. These containers are made of corten steel which is one of the most durable metals on the planet. In reality the steel-framed shipping containers are designed to withstand the stress of traveling by sea and endure for an extended period of use.
A tunnel container is the perfect solution for safe storage at home or in your business. Not only are they affordable and long-lasting, but they're also versatile enough to transform into a cozy home office or charming living space. And with their sleek, modern design, these shipping containers will certainly enhance the appeal of your business or home.
Cost-Effectiveness
Tunnel containers offer several advantages over traditional shipping options that can help businesses save money. One major advantage is that they don't need the use of cranes. This could save businesses lots of money, particularly when they need to lease cranes for the purpose of loading and unloading cargo regularly. Another advantage is that they can be placed higher than traditional containers. This helps to save space in storage yards, and reduces shipping costs. They are also a great option for companies that require storage or transportation of large machinery.
Unlike traditional shipping containers, tunnel containers have double doors on both sides. This makes them easier to access items in storage, compared to conventional containers which only have doors on one side. It also aids in speeding the handling of containers and increase efficiency at the port. This helps reduce delays and other costs that are associated with container arrangement on ships.
A tunnel container can be used to transport machinery and equipment. 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 entry allows for more efficient and quicker loading of equipment and supplies.
tunnel container uses are available in new 'one trip' condition and can be customized to suit many different uses. For example, you can convert a tunnel container into an office that can be used as a portable security device by adding a turnstile, or a manual secure entry checkpoint. You can also transform them into retail and food stands for markets or events.
Tunnel containers can also be used to store equipment for plants and provide employees with easy, safe access. We have even seen them converted into office spaces, providing an affordable way for businesses to house their workers while on the job. Containers can be easily transported to the next trade show location or road event, reducing time and expense on set up. Additionally, they can be fitted with a retractable roof that can protect against the weather conditions.
