Tunnel Container Uses

Tunnel containers are also referred to as double door shipping containers. They have the same dimensions as standard ISO container, however the difference is that they open at both ends. This lets cargo access quickly and is a valuable feature if you intend to use the container to store or convert projects.

Transport

A tunnel container can be used for many different reasons. The dual entry points permit easy access to equipment and materials at either end making it much easier for palletised goods to be transported using a forklift, and also makes the management of stock flow easier. Tunnel containers are commonly used as temporary bridges at construction sites, as well as ticket entrances for festivals or other events.

They also make a great solution for self-storage. With the erection of a steel bulkhead partition, a 20ft tunnel can be transformed into two 10ft units, increasing the return on investment. Tunnel containers can be modified in a variety of ways, such as adding lighting inside, as well as side windows, making them even more practical for businesses.

The double doors on both ends of the container make it perfect for storing bulky or larger items. This is particularly beneficial for warehouses, since it is difficult to access large machines and vehicles inside standard shipping containers. You can save a lot of time by not having to constantly move the container.

Tunnel containers can be outfitted with heating and cooling units that allow them to be used for temperature-controlled storage containers for items like pharmaceuticals, food, and chemicals. They can also be fitted with ventilation systems to avoid condensation in the goods.

Tunnel containers are available in 20ft and 40ft sizes, the same as traditional shipping containers. They meet ISO shipping standards, are CSC plated for international freight and can be weatherproofed with the addition of insulation.

They can be transported on flat-bed chassis or flat-bed trucks, or mounted on a truck frame or tracks. They are also a great option for law enforcement equipment as they can be easily moved between bases and may stop the identification of expensive equipment like command and control centers or mobile operating theatres. They can be shipped with various weapons, including missile launchers. Container City in Cholula is a great illustration of how an old sea container can be transformed into workshops, restaurants galleries, or even homes!

Stores

Double end doors containers, also referred to as Tunnel Containers, allow access to the items stored on both sides of the container. This makes it easier to gain access for loading/unloading and allows for the full utilization of the storage space. This makes these containers ideal as self-storage facilities, giving access to both sides of the container without having to unload items. This is especially beneficial for those who have to store massive, bulky or awkward objects such as machinery and heavy equipment.

The tunnel container design allows these containers to be easily converted into offices or storage spaces that are secure. Tunnel containers unlike open-sided shipping containers can be opened from both ends with the doors locked. They are great for constructing offices on-site and even housing, should it be required.

These shipping containers can be used to store specific items. For instance military units could make use of containers to transport expensive systems to temporary sites like command and control centers or mobile theatres of operation, which eliminates the need for these expensive systems to be moved by roads.

Similarly, specialised industrial equipment such as generators and turbines can be shipped in this way as well. This enables rapid deployment of critical infrastructure in areas where it is required significantly reducing the time and expense associated with the installation of fixed infrastructure.

These units can be outfitted with a temperature control system and thermal insulation in the event that you are shipping dangerous cargo, such as biological or chemical materials. This lets the unit maintain the temperature at a lower level, thus preventing any loss or damage.

These containers can be outfitted with tarp covers that can be removed, which provide extra flexibility when loading and unloading. This permits tall or bulky cargo to be transported that would otherwise not fit in standard shipping containers, like timber, construction materials or large machines. For extra security, these units can also be fitted with a high-security lockbox that blocks access from the top of the container.

Stuffing & De Stuffing

When it comes to shipping and storage logistics professionals employ various terms to describe how cargo is readied for transportation and then moved through a supply chain. These terms include container tunnel stuffing and de-stuffing. These terms refer to the process through which goods are taken out of or loaded into containers for shipping. Understanding these concepts will aid any business that uses shipping containers for storage or distribution to succeed.

Stuffing a container tunnel involves strategically placing cargo in order to maximize space and meet specific logistic requirements. To prevent damage in transit, packing and loading techniques that are specific to the cargo are required. It is essential to place the bulkiest cargo on the bottom and stack lighter items above. Additionally, it is important to use appropriate security measures to prevent the cargo from shifting during transport. Optimizing the load of the container also helps to reduce shipping and handling costs per unit and ensures that the container is in compliance with regulations for safe transportation.

Unloading or de-stuffing of containers is an essential step in maintaining the efficiency of your supply chain. This process removes excess freight from a shipping container and requires careful inspection to identify any signs of water damage, or other physical damage that could affect the integrity of the cargo. Regulatory compliance and effective communication between the logistics company and the shipper are essential to a successful de-stuffing operation.

For companies who require a secure and secure site access point, a refurbished tunnel container is an effective and cost-effective solution. These containers can be transformed to a turnstile or an entry point that can be manually controlled to block access to restricted areas within the facility. These containers are used for temporary bridges and as ticket entrances for big events.

Tunnel containers aren't the most popular kind of shipping container, but they're becoming more popular for multimodal logistics. They're ideal for storage and shipping, since their doors that are double-ended allow access from either side. They're often utilised to store items in self-storage by companies that require two access points to their inventory. Portable Space can weld steel bulkhead partitions inside a 20ft container to create two separate 10ft storage compartments. This is a lot less expensive than buying new storage containers.

Security

Tunneling is one way to establish an instant point-to-point connection over the network. It encapsulates packets using one routing protocol that is integrated into other protocols, so that routers on either side of a tunnel can be directly connected to each other.

This allows multiple applications to share the same infrastructure. For instance, a business can have tunnels for internal and public internet resources. This will allow them to ensure that they have uniform security policies for their employees and customers. The company can also protect sensitive data from being intercepted through tunnels.

Despite being constructed of steel, container cargo loads are still vulnerable to theft. Thieves have become quite sophisticated in their tactics and can break into a container by removing its doors or hinges. Therefore, it is essential for companies to implement security measures to stop their containers from being stolen.

Installing a lockbox onto the door is one way to achieve this. They are welded steel shrouds that fit around the lug of the container door that holds the padlock. They make it difficult to reach the area of the padlock using bolt cutters. Companies can also add a high security alarm that alerts the company if someone attempts to cut through the lockbox.

Installing turnstiles, or a manual entry checkpoint that has secure access, is another way to increase security. This is particularly helpful when people are able to enter in large numbers. It is a great way to keep guests away from the rain and wind, while allowing security personnel to check people's entry into the venue.

Shipping containers are available in various dimensions and conditions. This allows businesses to choose the container that best fits their requirements. For instance, some are designed for bulky items like machinery and vehicles. Some are equipped with doors on both sides which make them easier to unload and load. There are even refrigerated container that can be used to transport fresh food items.
