Tunnel Containers - How to Load a Shipping Container
Shipping containers that have double doors at both ends, instead of only one end are known as tunnel containers. They are available as new containers that are 'one trip' or used storage containers that have been converted from secondhand.
They are perfect to store equipment and goods because the dual access points ensure that items can be easily retrieved from either end without having to move them around. If required tunnel containers can be divided into two secure storage units.
Easy loading and unloading
When loading shipping containers, a well-organised method can make all the difference. It will help protect your items, minimize damage, and make the most of space. Containers can be filled in a variety of ways based on what's being stored or shipped. For instance, you could stack boxes vertically to maximize their height, but it is essential to secure them with load securing materials such as tie-down straps, or bracing plywood. Filling up empty spaces in containers with dunnage or inflatable airbags can be helpful, depending on the type of container.
Whether you're loading your cargo for a cross-country move or an international shipment, a well-planned and organized process will ensure that your goods arrive in one piece and at the right time. Getting your shipping container organized ahead of time will save time and money in the long run and you should make sure to think through your plans before organizing your cargo.
If you're seeking a container for shipping with two entry points, then you might want to consider a tunnel-container. These specialised containers come with doors on both ends, so you can access cargo from either side without having to unload everything simultaneously. This allows for quicker loading and unloading, which is great for busy port operations.
40ft tunnel containers is ideal for transporting items that aren't able to fit into the conventional container. For instance timber, construction materials and even wood. This container is cost-effective for shipments that are otherwise impossible to transport, since it comes with a doors that can be removed and covers on both sides.
After the shipping container arrives at the destination, you'll use cranes or forklifts to unload it. The ideal place for the container to be removed is far from other heavy vehicles, and from the throngs. It is also important to ensure that you have all the equipment needed to take the container off. This includes a flatbed or cranes.
It's a good idea to check the vehicle once you've emptied it. Check for signs of wear, like corrosion on the chassis or damage to the handles and doors. Check that the doors are open and close effortlessly and are securely held in place. You should also inspect the interior of your vehicle for any moisture or water damage that could affect your cargo.
Accessibility
One of the biggest challenges with shipping containers is getting them to and from their destinations. This could be a major problem for truckers who are trying to meet tight deadlines, or just do the job efficiently. We could cut costs and time by constructing tunnels constructed of shipping containers along routes that truck drivers travel most often.
This issue can be solved by tunnel containers, which are often referred to as double door containers. These one-trip containers are standard shipping containers that have two cargo doors on each end instead of just the front. This makes them accessible, especially for loading or unloading large items or heavy equipment.
These kinds of containers are also great for storage units. They are easy to stack and provide plenty of space to store your possessions. Furthermore they can be modified to include windows and air conditioning systems. If you're looking to store temperature-sensitive goods, then a refrigerated container might be your best bet.
A tunnel shipping container comes with two entry points, which makes it simple to divide in two and create two separate units. This is often used for creating offices on-site or storage. Many self-storage yards that are containerised have a variety of tunnel containers which they simply divide in the middle to create smaller storage spaces for their clients.
Standard shipping containers offer excellent security However, if your goal is to enhance security, a tunnel container may be the best choice. They can be outfitted with additional security alarms and locks to give you peace of mind.
The dual entry ports of tunnel containers also make it difficult to break in. The doors are equipped with a lockbox that is welded on the right side and overlaps the staple welded on the left. This prevents anyone from reaching into the container simply by opening the door.
Stores
Tunnel containers, also referred to as double door shipping containers, are the ideal storage solution. With double doors on both sides, they allow easy access into the containers on both sides without the need to move things around to get access. This is especially useful for storing bulky or heavy objects like furniture. These containers are utilized by many self-storage companies because they are easily divided into smaller stores with a partition wall. This allows them to create two separate storage units of 10 feet for the price of a single 20ft container.
Shipping container tunnels are available in both brand new 'one-trip condition and in recycled second-hand containers. They are usually constructed from a shipping container, with the solid end removed and double doors welded into the ends.
With access to both ends, these shipping containers facilitate loading and save time when compared to side-opening containers. They are great for storage, transport, and even as mobile living spaces or offices.
You can store your equipment or other items in any environment with confidence. The ventilation system helps keep moisture out protecting your contents from condensation. Double doors allow for easy loading and transport of larger items.
Tunnel containers are utilized by a variety of industries ranging from construction to retail. They're also a favorite among militaries because they can be swiftly moved to temporary sites like bases or training grounds. Modifications can be made to the structure, for example, the addition of a control room theatre, a control room, or other features, in order to provide specialised equipment.
Container City located in Cholula (Mexico), for instance, makes use of fifty old sea-containers to create galleries and workshops. It's a creative and fun method of recycling old steel while providing a valuable resource for the local community. In fact they're so popular that a large number of them remain on the site after their journeys are completed, which reduces the amount of trucking traffic through the city and cuts down on pollution.
Conversion
The tunnel container, also called double door shipping containers or one trip 40ft containers features cargo doors on both ends, instead of just one. This greatly improves their accessibility and makes loading and unloading more efficient. This is particularly useful when storing large items like plant machinery, as it prevents the necessity of reversing the digger out of the container.
These containers can be transformed into walkways or tunnels thanks to their double cargo doors at both ends. Many companies utilize these containers to create a safe walkway for workers to walk around plant machinery, and we have even assisted clients in converting tunnel containers into boiler rooms or water treatment plants.
Another use for tunnel containers is to function as an automated turnstile or manually-operated entry checkpoints. This is a great way to funnel visitors to security or ticket inspection. It is also fitted with lighting to ensure that everyone passing through can always be seen.
Tunnel containers are a great option for trade shows and other events because of their strength and size. They are easy to transport from one site to another and can be customized with windows, lighting, and other accessories to look unique and stand out from the crowd.
Our clients have used tunnel containers for everything from a theatrical experience that brought out the gruelling human trafficking realities to a pop-up shop to benefit a local charity. If you have an idea of a container conversion, then contact us now. We can help bring it to life.
We can provide you with tunnel containers that are 'one-trip' in either 20ft and 40ft. We can also modify a standard shipping container by taking out the rear walls and installing double cargo doors at both ends. We can even take off the sides to create more space within the container if necessary.
