Tunnel Container Uses

Tunnel containers are also referred to as double door shipping containers, they have the same dimensions as the standard ISO container but the distinction is that they open at both ends. This feature gives easy access to the cargo and is beneficial for those who use the container for storage or conversion project.

Transport

Tunnel containers can be used for a variety of different reasons. The dual entry points provide easy access to equipment and other materials from either end which makes it easier for palletised goods to be moved by forklifts, and makes the management of stock flow easier. Tunnel containers are often used as temporary bridges on construction sites, and as ticket entrances to festivals and other events.

They also make ideal for self-storage. By building a steel bulkhead, a 20ft container can be divided into two 10ft units. 20ft tunnel container can maximize the return on investment. Tunnel containers can be customized in a variety of ways. They can include internal lighting and side windows which makes them more practical for business.

The double doors on both sides of the container make it perfect for storing bulky or larger items. This is particularly useful in warehouses where it can be hard to fit huge machinery or vehicles into regular shipping containers. It will save you a huge amount of time since you don't have to constantly reposition the container, allowing you to keep moving merchandise throughout the day.

Tunnel containers can be fitted with heating and cooling systems, allowing them to be used for temperature controlled storage of products like food, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and electronics. They can also be fitted with ventilation systems to prevent condensation within the products.

Tunnel containers are available in 20ft or 40ft sizes, just like standard shipping containers. They are compliant with ISO shipping standards, are CSC plating for international freight use and can be weatherproofed by the addition of insulation.

They can be transported on flat-bed trucks or chassis or mounted on a truck frame or tracks. They're also a great option for law enforcement equipment since they are able to be transported between bases and can hinder the identification of high value equipment such as command and control centres or mobile operating theatres. They can be shipped with various weapons, including missile launchers. Container City in Cholula is a wonderful example of how an old sea containers can be transformed into workshops, restaurants galleries, and even homes!

Storage

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 allows for easy loading and unloading as well as full utilization of the storage space. These units are ideal for self-storage facilities since they permit access to both sides without the need to take items off. This is particularly beneficial for those who need to store bulky, large or awkward objects such as machinery and heavy equipment.

The tunnel container's design allows for these units to be converted into offices or storage spaces that are secure. Unlike open side shipping containers, which must be completely unloaded to gain access to the contents, tunnel containers can simply be opened from both ends and the doors locked shut again. They are great for constructing offices on-site and even housing, if needed.

The containers can also be used to store specialised equipment. Military units can make use of containers to transport expensive equipment to temporary locations like command and control centres or mobile operating theatres, which eliminates the necessity to transport these systems by vehicle.

This method can be used to transport special industrial equipment like generators or turbines. This allows for rapid deployment of critical infrastructure to areas where it is needed which 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 an insulation for thermal purposes if you are shipping a dangerous cargo, such as biological or chemical substances. This allows them to keep a constant low temperature and avoid any loss during transit.

These units can be fitted with removable tarp covers, which provide extra flexibility when loading and unloading. This permits large or heavy cargo that would not fit into the standard shipping containers to be transported, including large machinery or construction materials, such as timber or other heavy items. These containers can be fitted with high security lockboxes that block entry from above.

Stuffing & De Stuffing

When it is about storage and shipping logistics professionals employ various terms to describe how cargo is readied for transport and moved through a supply chain. Container stuffing and destuffing are words that describe the process of loading or removing items from a shipping box. Understanding these concepts will help any business that uses shipping containers for storage or distribution to grow.

Stuffing a tunnel container involves strategically placing freight to maximize space and meet specific logistics needs. Depending on the nature the cargo, specific packing and loading methods must be used to prevent damage during transport. This includes placing heaviest items on the bottom, stacking lighter ones on top, and using appropriate securing methods to prevent cargo from shifting in transit. Optimizing the load in the container can help reduce handling, shipping and labour costs and ensures compliance with regulations to ensure safe transportation.

Container de-stuffing, or unloading is a crucial step to ensure the effectiveness of your supply chain. This involves removing excess cargo from a container. It also requires a careful examination for any signs of physical damage or water damage that could affect the integrity of the cargo. De-stuffing is only possible in the event that the logistics provider and shipper communicate effectively and comply with all regulations.

Refurbished tunnel containers are a cost-effective alternative for businesses that require an unsecure and secure entry point to their site. They can be converted to a turnstile, or an entry checkpoint that is manually operated to prevent access to restricted areas in the facility. These containers are popular for temporary bridges as well as ticket entrances for large events.

Tunnel containers aren't the most sought-after kind of shipping container, but they're gaining in popularity for multimodal logistics. The double doors are ideal for storage and shipping, as they can be opened from both ends. Self-storage is a popular option for businesses that want to have access to their inventory. Portable Space can weld in steel bulkhead partitions, converting the tunnel container of 20 feet into two storage compartments that measure 10ft each that are much less expensive than buying new storage containers.

Security

Tunneling is a method to establish a direct connection between two points on a network. It encapsulates the packets using a single routing protocol in conjunction with other protocols, so that routers at either end of the tunnel can directly connect with each other.

This allows different applications to share the same infrastructure. For example, a company can use tunnels to access internal and public internet resources. This will help them to maintain uniform security policies for all employees and customers. With the use of tunnels, a company can also safeguard sensitive information from being stolen on the public network.

Container cargo loads, even though they are made of steel, are still vulnerable to theft. Thieves have become quite sophisticated in their tactics and are able to get inside a container by removing its doors or hinges. Therefore, it is essential that businesses take measures to stop their containers from being stolen.

The installation of a lockbox to the door is one way to achieve this. They are welded steel shrouds that fit over the lug of the container door which holds the padlock. They make it difficult to get into the padlock's area using bolt cutters. Additionally, businesses can put in a high-security alarm that will alert them when someone tries to cut the lockbox.

Another method of increasing the security of tunnel containers is to put in a turnstile or manual secure entry checkpoint. This is especially useful in events where people are entering in large numbers. It can help keep guests out of the rain and wind while security personnel can check people's entry into the venue.

Shipping containers come in different dimensions and sizes which means that businesses can find the one that best suits their requirements. For instance, some are designed to accommodate bulky objects like vehicles and machinery. Some containers have doors at both sides to make loading and unloading easier. There are even refrigerated container that can be used to transport fresh food.
