Shipping Container Tunnel
Shipping container tunnels, also called double end doors, have the standard double-doors at both ends of the container. When opened they create tunnels. This facilitates easy access and greatly enhances the ease of loading and unloading cargo.
Tunnel containers can be purchased in a 'one-trip' condition which is suitable for various storage or conversion projects. Many clients use tunnel containers to build small stores for secure storage - simply by dividing the space.
Easy Access
With two standard double doors at both ends tunnel shipping containers provide much easier access to storage items than a standard container with just one set of doors. Self-storage businesses love them because they can be used to create storage areas for various objects. For instance boxes and tools can be kept in one area while furniture and equipment are kept in another.
Tunnel containers are ideal for businesses that need to store bulky or large objects, e.g. automobile dealerships, construction firms, and manufacturing companies. Due to their dual entry points tunnel containers can be loaded and unloaded more quickly than standard containers. This improves productivity, decreases costs and avoids costly delays.
The dual access points also make tunnel containers extremely useful for loading and unloading heavy items that are too big to be accommodated in a single door e.g. furniture, heavy machinery and vehicles. They can accommodate forklift ramps and hand dollys which are extremely helpful for working in a noisy setting.

Recently, we converted two tunnel containers into an inviting gift shop for a railway heritage site. The tunnel for the shipping container was equipped with double sockets and lighting for year-round usage, using PIR insulation and heaters. The customers were so pleased with the results that they've since ordered another container from us to build an even bigger and better shop!

They are also used by numerous self-storage businesses that partition them down the middle to create two smaller stores, giving them access from both sides (where the standard container would only have one entry point).
