Shipping container tunnels commonly referred to as double end door containers, have normal double doors on both ends of the container, which effectively creates a tunnel when it is opened. This facilitates easy access and greatly improves the ease of loading and unloading cargo.
Tunnel containers can be purchased in a 'one-trip' condition which is suitable for many storage or conversion projects. Many clients use tunnel containers to build small stores for safe storage by dividing them down the middle.
Easy Access
With two standard double doors at both ends tunnel shipping containers give an easier access to stored items than a normal container with one set of doors. Self-storage companies love them because they can create different storage areas for various things. For example, boxes and tools are stored in one section while furniture and equipment are stored in another.
Tunnel containers are perfect for businesses that require to store large or bulky objects, e.g. car dealerships, construction companies and manufacturing companies. The dual entry points of tunnel containers ensure that the contents of a tunnel container can be loaded and unloaded in less time than a standard container. This helps to increase efficiency, reduce costs and avoid costly delays.
The dual access points make tunnel containers incredibly efficient for loading and unloading large items that are too big to fit through a single door e.g. Furniture, heavy machinery and cars. They are able to be used to accommodate forklift ramps and hand dolly ramps which are extremely beneficial in busy work environments.
Tunnel containers are weatherproof and can be used outdoors in many different places. For example many of our clients use them to keep their staff and guests out of the wind and rain during security checks at big events like festivals and concerts. Two tunnel containers placed end-to-end will keep dozens of people out of the wind and rain while they wait for their turn to be checked in or scanned.
Recently, we converted two tunnel containers into an inviting gift shop for a railway heritage site. By using PIR insulation and heaters, the shipping container tunnel was fitted with lighting and double sockets for year-round use. The customer was so happy with the results, that they ordered a second container to expand the shop!

Easy Storage
One of the most significant advantages of a shipping container tunnel is that it is simple to store cargo inside. Contrary to a standard container which requires you to unload everything to get to the rear end tunnel containers allow you to open up each end of the container for storage. This makes it easier to manage inventory and reduces time when loading and unloading.
Tunnel containers also come with double doors that are standard on both ends walls, which makes them ideal for storage of cargo. This feature also keeps pests away from your storage. This is important for storage of perishable items or hazardous chemicals.
Due to their dual entry points, tunnel containers are also ideal for converting into self-storage units. By simply putting an internal partition down the middle of a shipping container will create two separate 10ft storage spaces, which is perfect for businesses that need to easily rotate their stock without having to take everything from both ends. Many of our customers utilize tunnel containers to serve as "passages" at music festivals and events, allowing them to funnel crowds into a specific area.
The flexibility of a shipping container tunnel is what makes it so effective for a variety of applications. They can be converted into anything from portable offices to workshops, warehouses and more. Storage-wise their double-end access and weatherproof seals aid to reduce movement within the container, minimizing the risk of damage.
Shipping containers are made from corrosion-resistant Corten steel, which means they're able to withstand tough environments and frequent transport without difficulty. They can also withstand strong winds, and if they're covered, will shield your items from snow, rain and dust.
The walls and roof of the tunnels of shipping containers help to protect the stored goods and keep temperatures steady. This is especially crucial for perishable products or chemicals that could be affected negatively by extremes in temperature. Shipping containers can also keep moisture and dust out, which will increase the lifespan of your stored items.

When loading cargo into the tunnels of shipping containers, it is essential to stack items vertically when possible and secure them in place with straps or load bars. It is crucial to stack the containers vertically to ensure that they do not move and cause damage when they are transported via rail or by sea. It is a good idea to place heavier items at the bottom of container and lighter items at the top. Keep flammables clear of other objects, and also any items that could be contaminated by liquids.
Double doors at the ends of a container tunnel allows easier access to items in the middle, where access to a standard shipping container may be difficult. Tunnel containers are ideal for storage of inventory, both for commercial and personal use. They are also utilized by a variety of self storage companies who partition them down the middle to create two smaller stores, allowing easy access from both sides (where the standard container would only have one entry point).
In addition to the dual door accessibility tunnel containers can be modified as easily as any other type of shipping container. This means you can include lighting and even windows, according to your requirements. They can also be transformed into workshops, offices or retail spaces.

Based on your budget, you can incorporate many extra features to create an individual and comfortable living space.

However, prior to building your home for your tunnel container it is important to keep in mind that the process of converting and remodeling a shipping container isn't as easy as putting up some walls. It is important to consider a number of factors, including hiring an expert in shipping container conversions.
The container you choose for shipping must be the same size as other shipping container that you are planning to connect. In the event of a mismatch, you could face structural problems if the containers aren't lined up properly. It's also important to choose containers that are in good shape, as older containers can be vulnerable to corrosion and other damages during storage and transport.
It's also worth considering what you'll use the tunnel shipping container for prior to buying it. For example, if you're using it to build a warehouse, it may be best to get a large cube container that is large enough to hold plenty of extra room. This will provide plenty of room to store and move items around. It also makes it easier to connect multiple shipping containers, if needed.
