Shipping Container Tunnel
Shipping container tunnels, also known as double-end doors, have standard double-doors on both ends of containers. When opened they form tunnels. This allows easy access and greatly improves the ease of loading and unloading cargo.
Tunnel containers can be purchased in a "one-trip" form that can be used for various storage or conversion projects. Many clients use tunnel containers to build small stores for secure storage - simply by partitioning down the middle.
Easy Access
Tunnel shipping containers come with two double doors at each end, making it easier to access items stored than a container that has only one set of doors. Self-storage companies appreciate them due to the fact that they can be used to create storage areas for different things. For example, boxes and tools are stored in one section while furniture and equipment are kept in the other.
Tunnel containers are ideal for businesses that need to store large or bulky objects, e.g. car dealerships, construction companies and manufacturing companies. The dual entry points of tunnel containers mean that the contents of a tunnel container may be loaded and unloaded in a shorter amount of time than the typical container. This improves productivity, decreases costs and avoids costly delays.
The dual access points also make tunnel containers incredibly convenient for loading and unloading large objects that are too large to be accommodated in a single door e.g. furniture, heavy machinery and vehicles. They can easily accommodate fork lift ramps as well as hand dolly ramps, which are extremely useful in busy workplaces.

Easy Storage
The capacity to store cargo in a shipping container is among the most important features of tunnels.

Tunnel containers are ideal for self-storage units due their dual entry points. Simply putting an internal partition in the middle of a shipping container can create two separate 10ft storage spaces that are ideal for businesses that want to easily rotate their stock without having to unload everything from both ends. Many of our customers utilize tunnel containers to serve as "passages" during events and music festivals, allowing them to funnel crowds into specific areas.

Shipping containers are made from corrosion-resistant Corten steel, which means that they can withstand harsh environments and frequent transport with ease. They can also withstand strong winds and, when covered by a protective cover, protect your possessions from rain, dust and snow.
The walls and roof of a shipping container tunnel also aid in protecting your stored goods, and also keep temperatures steady. This is especially important for perishable items or chemicals, which can be affected by extremes in temperature. Shipping containers can keep moisture and dust out which can significantly increase the life span of your stored goods.
Easy Loading & Unloading
It is crucial to stack cargo vertically inside the shipping tunnel and secure it with straps or load bars. It is crucial to stack the containers vertically so they don't move and cause damage when the containers are moved by rail or sea. It is a good idea to put heavier items at the bottom of the container and lighter ones on the top. Keep flammables away from other items, as well as anything that might be contaminated by liquids.
The double doors at both ends of a tunnel container permit easy access to items that are located in the middle of the container, where you might have trouble with the typical shipping container. This makes tunnel containers ideal to store inventory for both commercial and personal use. Many self-storage businesses use these containers too. They split them in half to create two smaller stores and provide them an easy access on both sides.
In addition to the dual door access tunnel containers can be modified as easily as other kinds of container for shipping. You can also add windows and lighting, according to what you require. They can also be converted into workshops, offices or retail spaces.

However, prior to building your tunnel container home it's important to understand that the process of converting and remodeling the inside of a shipping container isn't quite just a matter of building walls. It is important to consider a number of factors, such as hiring an expert in the field of conversions for shipping containers.
Choosing the right shipping container is another important process, as it has to be the same size as the other container you're planning to connect. In the event of a mismatch, you could face structural problems in the event that the containers aren't aligned correctly. It's important to select containers that are in good shape because older containers are more susceptible to rust or other damage in transit and storage.
