Tunnel Container Uses

The tunnel container is also known as a double door shipping container. They have the same dimensions as standard ISO containers, but they are opened at both ends. This allows access to cargo easily and is an excellent feature if you are using containers for storage or conversion projects.

Transport

A tunnel container is ideal for a variety of uses. Dual entry points allow you to access equipment and materials at either end. This makes it easier to transport palletised loads with forklifts and also makes it easier to manage stock flow. Tunnel containers are often used as temporary bridges at construction sites, as well as ticket entrances to events like festivals.

They also provide a great option for self-storage. By installing an iron bulkhead partition, one 20ft tunnel container can become two 10ft units, increasing the return on investment. Tunnel containers can be modified in various ways, including lighting for the interior, and side windows - making them more suitable for businesses.

Double doors at both ends of the container make it ideal for storage of large or bulky items. This is particularly beneficial in warehouses, as it can be difficult to get large machinery and vehicles inside the standard shipping containers. It will save a significant amount of time since you don't have to continually shift the container and allow you to continue moving your merchandise throughout the day.

Tunnel containers can be equipped with heating and cooling systems, which allows them to be used for temperature-controlled storage of products such as foods, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and electronics. They can also be fitted with ventilation systems to prevent condensation within the products.

Tunnel containers are available in 20ft and 40ft sizes, the same as regular shipping containers. They are compliant with ISO shipping standards, are CSC plated for international freight and are weatherproof by adding insulation.

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

Storage

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

In addition to this the tunnel container's design permits these units to be easily converted into offices or other secure storage spaces. Contrary to open side shipping containers, which must be completely unloaded to gain access to the contents, tunnel shipping container containers can simply be opened from both ends and closed again. They are ideal for creating offices on site and even housing, if required.

These shipping containers can be used to store special items. Military units can make use of them to transport expensive systems to temporary locations like command and controls centres or mobile operating theaters, thereby eliminating the need to move these systems by road.

This method can be used to transport special industrial equipment, such as turbines or generators. This allows for the rapid deployment of critical infrastructure to regions where it is required in order to reduce the time and cost associated with installing fixed infrastructure.

If you are looking to ship a more dangerous cargo, such as biological or chemical substances, these units can be equipped with specialized thermal insulation and a controlled temperature control system. This allows them to maintain a constant low temperature and avoid any loss during transit.

These units are able to be fitted with tarp covers that can be removed which offer greater flexibility when loading and unloading. This allows for tall or bulky cargo to be transported that would otherwise not fit in conventional shipping containers, such as construction materials, timber or large machines. These containers can be outfitted with lockboxes with high security to prevent entry from the top.

Stuffing & De Stuffing

When it is about storage and shipping, logistics professionals use a variety of terms to describe how cargo is readied for transport and moved through the supply chain. Container stuffing and destuffing are words that describe the process of removing or loading goods from a container. Understanding these concepts will assist any company that relies on shipping containers for distribution or storage to succeed.

Stuffing a container tunnel involves strategically placing freight in order to maximize space and meet specific logistic needs. To avoid damage during transit, packing and loading techniques that are specific to the cargo must be used. It is crucial to place the bulkiest cargo on the bottom, and place lighter items on top. Also it is crucial to use the appropriate security measures to stop the cargo from shifting in transit. Optimising the container load also helps reduce shipping and handling costs per unit and ensures compliance with regulations for safe transport.

When the container arrives at its destination the container is unloaded or de-stuffing is a vital step to maintaining supply chain efficiency. This process involves removing any excess freight from a container and involves a careful inspection for any signs of physical or water damage that could affect the integrity of the cargo. De-stuffing is only feasible when the logistics company and shipper communicate effectively and adhere to all applicable regulations.

Refurbished tunnel containers are a cost-effective option for businesses who need an unsecure and secure entry point to their premises. These containers can be converted into a turnstile, or a manual entry checkpoint to restrict access to areas of the facility. These containers are also popular as bridges for temporary use, and for use as ticket entrances at large events.

Tunnel containers aren't the most well-known type of shipping container tunnel container, but they're becoming more popular for multimodal logistics. They are ideal for both storage and shipping, because their double-ended doors allow access from either end. They're often utilised for self storage by businesses who need dual access to their stock. Portable Space can weld in steel bulkhead partitions that convert a 20ft tunnel container into two storage compartments that measure 10ft each and is a lot less than buying new storage containers.

Security

Tunneling is one way to set up direct point-topoint connections across networks. It encapsulates packets using one routing protocol within other protocols, meaning that routers on either end of the tunnel can connect directly to each other.

This permits different applications to use a common infrastructure. For example, a company can use tunnels to access public internet and internal resources. This will allow them to have the same security standards for all employees and customers. The company can protect sensitive data from being stolen by using tunnels.

Despite being made from steel, container cargo loads are still susceptible to theft. Thieves have become quite sophisticated in their methods and are able to take a container and break it into pieces by taking its hinges or doors off. This is why it's crucial for businesses to take measures to prevent the theft of their containers.

One way to do this is to put a lockbox on the doors. These are steel shrouds that fit around the lug that holds the padlock to the door of the container. they make it extremely difficult to access the padlock area with bolt cutters. Companies can also add an alarm with high security that will notify the company when someone tries to cut through the lockbox.

Installing the turnstile, or manual entry checkpoint with secured access is another way to increase security. This is particularly helpful in events where people are able to enter in large numbers. This can be used to protect guests from wind and rain while allowing security to conduct inspections at the event.

Shipping containers are available in different dimensions and conditions. This lets businesses find the right one to meet their needs. For instance, some are designed to accommodate bulky objects like machinery and vehicles. Some are equipped with doors at both ends, which makes them easier to load and unload. There are even refrigerated container that can be used for transporting fresh food.
