A New Trend In Tunnel Containers
Tunnel Containers

Like the name suggests the main feature of a tunnel container is the dual-door design at the opposite end of the container. This significantly improves accessibility and makes tunnel containers ideal for storage and handling.

They are also popular for converting into self storage units as they can be divided by putting up a partition wall. We have helped customers make use of them for plant machinery storage and for secure access to sites using turnstiles.

Dual Access

A tunnel container is an altered version of a standard shipping container with double doors at both ends. Known as a 'double end door container' or a 'tunnel container' these containers provide access to stored items from both ends.

The dual-end access permits cargo to be loaded and unloaded from both sides of the container. This is ideal for transporting larger or bulkier goods that otherwise would need to be backed in and out of the container. Double-end access eliminates the requirement to empty the entire container in order to get the goods that are hidden inside, which saves time and reducing the risk of damage.

This nifty feature is what makes tunnel containers so flexible and adaptable. They can be used for a wide range of storage and transportation requirements, including being transformed into living spaces or mobile offices. They are made of rugged, corrosion resistant Corten steel and can endure the toughest weather conditions.

If you're looking for a safer option, we can weld steel bulkheads to one of the long sides of the container, creating two separate storage compartments measuring 10 feet. Self-storage companies can make use of bulkheads to separate customers' belongings in different areas, which increases security. Our double end door containers are also popular as ticket entrances at large events, as they are able to easily accommodate crowds of people while keeping them dry.

Our 20ft double door tunnel containers feature fork pockets that can be used with industrial forklifts. This means they can be easily stacked or lifted at the corners of each side. We've also installed PIR insulation and heaters to these containers, making them suitable for year-round storage.

If you're looking for a more customized container solution We can also create custom-sized tunnel containers that match your specific requirements. We can make tunnel containers with single or double-sided models, as well as different lengths. Custom-sized tunnel containers are more expensive than regular shipping containers, so we recommend selecting the most suitable size that is suitable for your needs.

Temperature-Sensitive Goods

The storage of most dangerous products like explosives or flammable liquids should be stored at temperatures that are optimal. Temperature fluctuations can trigger a variety of issues, including explosion and 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.

These fluctuations can often be difficult to spot, particularly in a busy workday. Container terminals need a system to monitor the temperature of all reefer containers within their facility. This allows personnel to react promptly to any anomalies and avoid any risk.

Tunnel containers are a practical option when it comes to transporting and storing temperature-sensitive goods. They have double doors at both ends, which greatly increases accessibility and speeds loading and unloading processes when warehousing and transportation. They can be used to store large items like vehicles and machinery.

The modified containers are typically constructed from a standard 20ft or 40ft shipping container, the solid end is taken away and the double doors welded in place, creating two-way access. They are a popular choice on construction sites where it is necessary to pass through and under heavy machinery.

Some container terminals also transform their tunnel shipping containers to function as a secure site entrance, installing a turnstile or manual security checkpoint as users pass through. Although these conversions aren't readily available in a standard size but they are easily made to meet the specific needs of the customer and are extremely cost-effective compared to constructing an entire facility from scratch. Tunnel containers are generally only available in a "one-trip" condition since their owners build them specifically for a specific use and then retain them. This makes them a desired product for those wanting to expand their business or storage capacity in warehouses without the need to purchase a brand 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

A tunnel container is the ideal container to store your cargo. The containers are double doors on both ends of the container, in contrast to standard dry storage containers which have one door at the end. This lets you access your storage container on either side. This allows you to unload and load goods.

This dual entry point is beneficial for a container that will be used to store goods that you require frequent access to like machinery or equipment. This means you don't have to turn your vehicle around and out of the storage container constantly, which could damage both the container as well as your vehicle.

You can also keep your items in a tunnel container if you need to maintain an appropriate temperature. The refrigerated and thermal tunnel containers are perfect for this because they come with temperature controls that ensure the goods stored inside are kept at a particular temperature.

A tunnel container is a fantastic solution for a workshop or garage. It lets you access all areas of your workspace easily without having to move any furniture. The dual doors at each end also mean that you can move into and out of your storage container quickly, if necessary.


One-trip tunnel containers are available as new constructions with two sets double doors or modified shipping containers. In the second scenario, the solid end is removed from the container. A pair of double doors is welded to each end.

Containers for shipping are usually only available as new 'one-trip condition', because their owners have built them for a specific reason and don't want them to be sold. However, you are able to buy refurbished tunnel containers from some companies that provide this particular type of container. These refurbished containers are tested to ensure they are safe for transport and are available with a longer warranty.

Easy Transportation

The double cargo doors on both ends of a tunnel container make it easy to unload and load items from either end. They are perfect for transporting bulk and general cargo as well as special objects like automobiles or motorbikes. These containers are also often used as tunnels for temporary use on construction sites due to their safety, durability and flexibility to modify.

Shipping containers with double doors can be great storage. subterranean storage containers to open both sides of a container will save you time and money by eliminating the requirement to remove the entire container or a section to reach the items that are stored in the back. The doors on both sides can be locked to stop unauthorised access.

These containers are made of corten steel and are designed to stand up to harsh conditions. They're water- and wind-proof and are equipped with ventilation to ensure adequate airflow. These features can shield items from moisture, decreasing the risk of loss and deterioration.

Depending on your needs depending on your needs, you can select among a variety of options for tunnel containers. Open top containers, for example are equipped with bow-tops that can be removed to make loading heavy and large cargo more convenient. Side-open containers have doors on the sides making them ideal for storing small goods. A refrigerated ISO container, or reefer, has a regulated temperature and can be used to store temperature-sensitive goods.

They are available in refurbished and new models in 20ft and 40ft sizes and have doors on both ends to facilitate easy loading. They can be tailored to meet your specific needs, but will cost more than a standard double-end door container.
