Advantages of a Tunnel Container
A tunnel container is fitted with double doors at both ends. This makes it easy to load and unload cargo from either side. This makes it perfect for storing large items like vehicles and machinery.
They are often used to guard the site as turnstiles and entry points, their dual entrances are also ideal for self storage containers and where the installation of a partition could divide the 20ft units into two 10ft ones.
Easy Accessibility
The main difference between tunnel containers and standard shipping containers is that tunnel containers come with doors on both ends. This double access point makes loading and unloading cargo much more simple. It's a huge benefit for businesses that have specific requirements regarding storage and transportation.
Our client needed space to store large tools and equipment in order to maintain their railway site. We repurposed two shipping containers as cabins, and added an access door on one of the long sides, added PIR insulation and heaters to make the area suitable for year round use. We also added lighting, two sockets and a 16A power supply.
Tunnel containers are a great place for storing their valuable equipment away from the view of the public while still allowing their employees to easily access it to perform maintenance and repair. The units are located on a raised platform to prevent flooding and to protect the contents from any inclement weather.
For customers with an ongoing requirement for a tunnel container we can put either electric or manual roller shutters on the side of the container to create an entry point that is secure. This is a great option for sites where security checks must be conducted as individuals enter and leave the site.
Tunnel containers can be fitted with a retractable top to create a completely enclosed, waterproof and windproof environment. This will protect against the elements during transport or storage. This is particularly beneficial for companies with sensitive materials that need to be kept at a stable temperature, like food or pharmaceuticals.
Our clients have used tunnel containers in a variety ways, such as a trade show booth as well as office space on-site, or even as housing. With a variety of new one-trip containers available in both Florida and Nashville, we're sure to find a solution that meets your needs.

Simple Stuffing and De Stuffing
It is a huge task to fill and empty shipping containers. It requires planning, warehouse staff and the right equipment to ensure that the task is completed efficiently and swiftly. It also takes up a lot of storage space at the facility for stuffing and the warehouse that receives the container.
The most important aspect to consider when filling containers is to ensure that all the items you need fit comfortably within the box. This will reduce the damage your cargo may be subject to due to compression or shifting during transportation. You will want to allow enough space for handling and inspecting your cargo. Make sure the container is sealed, and that all doors are shut.
Another benefit of the tunnel container is that it permits you to access your goods from both ends. This is important as it will save you time and makes it easier to get your items into and out of the tunnel container. This feature is particularly useful when the container is used as a shopfront, or for security reasons.
The standard double doors are situated on both ends of a single-trip tunnel shipping container. This makes it simple to load or unload cargo. This makes it perfect to store large, heavy objects, like vehicles and machinery. In fact, many self-storage companies utilize these units as a cost efficient way to rotate and store items that they don't use on a regular basis. Portable Space can also join steel bulkheads to the container, creating two separate storage compartments for your goods if you want an extra secure solution.
The tunnel shipping container can be used for transporting hazardous goods or other materials. It's a safe and convenient alternative to transporting the goods in a van or truck and protects the contents from the elements and pests. It also provides better security for valuables and sensitive equipment. It's a great choice for shipping smaller than container loads (LCL), which can help reduce the possibility of goods being damaged or lost during transport.
Easy Loading and Unloading
A tunnel container is an excellent option when you're looking to move cargo that requires access to the area. They come with a double cargo door at both ends which makes it easier to load and unload cargo. In addition, they're typically cheaper than side-opening containers. This makes them an excellent alternative for transporting heavy, bulky cargo.
Another way a tunnel container can improve your business is by providing increased storage capabilities. They're typically larger than traditional shipping containers, which means they can accommodate more cargo. Furthermore, they can be altered to meet a specific need. They can be made into a container to transport cars, for instance car carriers.
Tunnel Containers are also used for their use as an temporary bridge or ticket entrance at large events. Portable Space can weld in steel bulkheads to create two distinct 10ft storage compartments inside the 20ft tunnel container, which is the most cost-effective alternative to purchasing two conventional containers. This is a great option for self-storage companies who want to provide their customers with greater access to their premises.
These containers are also great for construction sites. The container can be modified to provide a safe way through a construction site. Both ends are accessible and lockable. This allows workers to easily traverse the tunnel, while keeping any unwelcome traffic out of the area.
You can also convert tunnel containers to security by installing a turnstile or a manual secure entry checkpoint when users pass through the container. Tunnel containers can be bought new from manufacturers or bought second-hand and then converted for specific purposes, such as housing on-site or retail.
Tunnel containers are a versatile choice that can be used for many different applications, including shipping, storage and conversion. They are available in a range of sizes and can be transported via road, rail or sea. They're also ISO-certified and CSC-plated, meaning they meet international standards for intermodal transportation. This makes them a good option for your next project.
