Tunnel Containers - How to Load a Shipping Container
Tunnel containers are shipping containers that have double doors on both ends instead of one end. They can be bought as brand new containers that are 'one-trip' or as a converted secondhand storage container.
They are great for storing goods and equipment due to the dual access points that allow items to be easily removed from either side without having to move them around. Tunnel containers can also be divided across the middle to create two storage units that are secure in the event of need.
Ease of Loading & Unloading
When loading shipping containers, a well-organised strategy can make all the difference. It will safeguard items, minimize damage and maximize space. Containers can be loaded in various ways, depending on the items you're storing or shipping. For instance, you could stack boxes vertically to maximize their height, but it's important to secure them in place with load securing materials such as tie-down straps or bracing plywood. Based on the type of container, it could also be beneficial to fill any empty spaces with inflatable airbags or dunnage bags to stop any movement during transport.
If you're packing your items for international shipping or for a cross-country move an organized system will ensure that all your belongings arrive intact and on time.

When the container is at the destination, it will be unloaded using cranes or forklifts. Ideally, the spot where it's going to be removed must be free of other heavy vehicles and well away from the crowds. Also, make sure that you have all the equipment necessary to empty the container. This includes a flatbed or cranes.
It's a good idea check the vehicle once you've emptied it. Check for signs of wear and tear such as corrosion on the chassis as well as damage to the container doors and handles. Check that the doors are open and close smoothly and are secured in the correct position. You'll also want to check the interior for water damage or moisture that could affect your cargo.
Accessibility
Shipping containers can be a challenge to get to and from the destination. This can be a huge issue for truckers trying to meet tight deadlines, or just complete the task in a timely manner.
