Tunnel Containers
Like the name suggests the main feature of a tunnel containers is the dual door design at the opposite end of the container. This significantly enhances access and makes them ideal for handling and storage of products.
They are also popular for conversion into self-storage units since they can be divided by constructing an enclosure wall. We have also assisted customers utilize them to store equipment for their plants and to provide secure access to their site using turnstiles.
Dual Access
A tunnel container is an altered version of the standard shipping container that has double doors at both ends. These containers are also referred to as a "double door end container" or a "tunnel-shaped container". They provide access to the items stored on both ends.
Dual-end access allows cargo to be unloaded or loaded from either end of the container. This is perfect for transporting heavier or larger items that need to be moved into and out of the box. Double-end access removes the need to empty the entire container in order to get the goods that are hidden inside, which saves time and reducing the chance of damage.
This innovative feature makes tunnel containers flexible and adaptable. They can be used for a wide range of storage and transport requirements, including being transformed into living spaces or mobile offices. Because they're constructed of rugged and corrosion-resistant Corten steel These containers are able to endure even the most extreme weather conditions.
If you're seeking a more secure alternative, we can join in steel bulkheads onto one of the long sides of the container, creating two separate 10ft storage compartments. Self-storage companies can make use of bulkheads to separate customers' belongings into different areas, thereby increasing security. Double-end door containers are popular for use for large events as ticket entrances because they can handle long lines of people and keep them dry.
Our new 20ft double door tunnel containers come with fork pockets that are suitable for industrial forklifts. This means that they can be easily stacked or lifted from the corners of each long side. These units are also equipped with heaters and PIR insulation, making them ideal for year-round storage.
tunnel container applications COG Containers can manufacture tunnel containers with customized sizes to meet your precise specifications if you need an additional bespoke solution. We can make containers in single- or double-sided designs, and different lengths. Custom-sized tunnel containers are more expensive than standard shipping containers, so we suggest choosing the smallest size that will meet your needs.
Temperature-Sensitive Goods
The storage of the most hazardous goods such as explosives or liquids that ignite is best stored at temperatures that are optimal. Temperature fluctuations can alter their stability and lead to a combustion or release of toxic fumes. When storing temperature-sensitive hazardous goods, it's essential that container terminal facilities are equipped with the appropriate monitoring equipment to track and identify any anomalies or deviations from set temperatures.
Often these fluctuations can be difficult to identify, especially during a hectic workday. This is why it's crucial that container terminals use systems that provide real-time temperature monitoring of all reefer containers inside their facility. This allows personnel to react promptly to any anomalies and prevent any risks.
Tunnel containers are a practical option when it comes to transporting and storing temperature-sensitive goods. Double doors are found at both ends of the container, which makes it easier to load and unload during transportation as well as storage. They can be used to store large objects like vehicles and machinery.
The modified containers are typically made from a standard 20ft or 40ft shipping container, the solid end is removed, and new double doors welded in place, allowing two-way access. They are often used on construction sites where it is necessary to pass over and under heavy machinery.
Some container terminals also transform their tunnel shipping containers to be used as a secure entry point to the site, installing a turnstile or manual security checkpoint as users pass through. Although these conversions aren't readily available in a standard size however, they can be made to meet the specific needs of the customer and are cost-effective as compared to the construction of an entire facility from scratch. Tunnel containers are generally only available in a new "one-trip" condition, as their owners create them specifically for a certain purpose and then keep them. This makes them a sought-after product for those who want to increase their business' or warehouse storage capacity without the need to purchase an entirely new refrigerated facility. They are also a very economical solution for those who want to store temperature-sensitive goods over long periods of time, or for transporting large volumes of cargo over long distances.
Convenient Storage
