Tunnel Container Uses

Tunnel containers are also known as double door shipping containers, they have the same dimensions as a standard ISO container, however the distinction is that they open at both ends. This lets cargo access easily and is an excellent feature if you are using the container to store or convert projects.

Transport

Tunnel containers are great for a variety of purposes. Dual entry points make it simple to access equipment and other materials at either end. This makes it simpler to transport palletised items using forklifts, and it simplifying the management of stock flow. Tunnel containers are often used as temporary bridges on construction sites, and also as ticket entrances for events such as festivals.

They are also a great solution for self storage. By building a steel bulkhead that is 20 feet long, a container can be divided into two 10ft units. This maximizes return on investment. Tunnel containers can be modified in a variety of ways. They can be fitted with side windows and lighting, making them more convenient for businesses.

Double doors at both ends of the container are ideal for the storage of large or bulky items. This is particularly useful in warehouses, as it is difficult to get large machinery and vehicles in the standard shipping containers. It will save a significant amount of time when you don't need to constantly move the container around and allow you to continue moving merchandise throughout the day.

40ft tunnel containers containers can be equipped with heating and cooling systems, which allows them to be used for temperature controlled storage of goods like food, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and electronic equipment. They can also be fitted with ventilation systems that prevent condensation within the products.

Tunnel containers are available in 20ft or 40ft tunnel container sizes, the same as regular shipping containers. They are ISO shipping standards and CSC plated to be used for international freight. They can also be made weatherproof by adding insulation.

They can be mounted on tracks or frames for trucks or transported on flat-bed or chassis trucks. They are a great option for law enforcement and military equipment because they can be moved between bases. This may also stop the unintentional identification of expensive equipment such as command-and-control centres or mobile operating theaters. They can be transported with various weapons, including missile launchers. The Container City in Cholula, Mexico is an excellent example of how old sea containers can be transformed into restaurants, galleries and workshops - and even homes!

Stores

Double end door containers, or Tunnel Containers as they are commonly known, provide access to the items stored from both ends of the container. This significantly increases ease of access to load and unloading, and allows for the full utilization of storage space. These units are ideal for self-storage facilities as they permit access to both sides without having to remove items. This is particularly beneficial for those storing large, bulky or awkward items such as machinery and heavy equipment.

The tunnel container's design allows these containers to be easily converted into offices or safe storage spaces. Tunnel containers, unlike open side shipping containers are able to be opened from either side and locked at the other end. They are great for constructing offices on site and even housing, if needed.

These shipping containers can be used to store specialised items. For instance, military units may utilize them to transport high value systems to temporary locations like command and control centres or mobile operating theatres eliminating the need for these costly systems to be moved by roads.

This method can also be used to ship specialised industrial equipment such as generators or turbines. This allows for rapid deployment of critical infrastructure in areas where it is required and drastically reduces the time and expense associated with the installation of fixed infrastructure.

These units are able to be fitted with a temperature control system and thermal insulation in the event that you are shipping a dangerous cargo, such as biological or chemical materials. This allows them to keep an unalterable temperature and avoid any loss during transit.

These containers can also be outfitted with a removable tarp cover which allows for more flexibility when loading and unloading. This permits large or heavy items that aren't able to fit in traditional shipping containers to be transported, like large machinery wood, construction materials, or other bulky items. For extra security, these containers can also be fitted with a lockbox of high security that blocks entry from the top of the container.

Stuffing & De Stuffing

When it is about storage and shipping logistics professionals employ a variety of terms to describe how cargo is readied for transport and moved through a supply chain. Container stuffing and destuffing are two terms that describe the process of loading or removing goods from a container. Understanding these concepts is crucial to the success of any company that uses shipping containers to store or distribute goods.

Stuffing a tunnel container involves carefully placing cargo in order to maximize space and meet the specific requirements of logistics. Depending on the nature of the cargo, specific packing techniques and loading methods are required to avoid damage during transportation. It is essential to put the largest cargo on the bottom, and stack lighter items above. Additionally it is essential to use appropriate measures of security to prevent the cargo from shifting during transport. Optimising the container load also aids in reducing shipping and handling costs, as well as labour costs per unit and ensures regulatory compliance for safe transportation.

Unloading or de-stuffing of containers, is an important process to maintain the efficiency of your supply chain. This process involves removing any excess freight from a container and involves a careful inspection for any indications of physical or water damage that could compromise the integrity of the cargo. De-stuffing is only feasible if the logistics provider and shipper can communicate effectively and abide by all regulations.

For businesses who require a secure and secure site access point, a renovated tunnel container is a cost-effective solution. These containers can be modified to offer an automated turnstile or entry checkpoint that blocks access to restricted areas within the facility. These units are popular for temporary bridges and also as ticket entry points for large events.

While a tunnel container isn't the most commonly used kind of container for shipping, they're becoming increasingly popular in multimodal logistics applications. The double-end doors are ideal for shipping and storage because they can be accessed from both ends. They're often utilised for self storage by organisations who need dual access to their stock. Portable Space can weld in steel bulkhead partitions that convert an 20ft tunnel containers tunnel container into two separate 10ft storage compartments, which is much cheaper than purchasing new storage containers.

Security

Tunneling is a method to create an instant point-to-point connection over a network. It encapsulates packets using one routing protocol that is integrated into other protocols to ensure that routers at either end of a tunnel can be directly connected with each other.

This allows multiple applications to use the same infrastructure. For instance, a company can have tunnels for internal and public internet resources. This will allow them to have uniform security policies for all employees and customers. By using tunnels, companies can also shield sensitive information from being accessed through the public network.

Despite being constructed of steel, container cargo loads are still vulnerable to theft. The methods of thieves have evolved and they are capable of breaking into steel containers by cutting off the hinges or doors. It is therefore essential that businesses take measures to prevent their containers being stolen.

One way to accomplish this is to put a lockbox on the doors. They are steel shrouds that are welded that fit around the lug of the container door that holds the padlock. They make it difficult to reach the padlock's location with bolt cutters. Companies can also add an alarm with high security that alerts the company when someone tries to cut through the lockbox.

Installing a turnstile, or a manual entry checkpoint with secured access is another way to increase security. This is especially beneficial in events where people are able to enter in large numbers. It is a great way to keep guests safe from wind and rain while allowing security personnel to check people's entry into the venue.

Shipping containers are available in various dimensions and conditions. This lets businesses choose the container that best fits their needs. For instance, some are made for bulky items, such as machinery and vehicles. Some are equipped with doors on both sides making them easier to unload and load. And, there are even refrigerated containers that can be used to transport fresh food.
