Tunnel Shipping Container
Also known as double door shipping containers, tunnel containers come with two cargo doors at each end. This makes them ideal for large items.
The 2013 KOBE Biennale saw the designers Masakazu Shirane and Saya Miyazaki create an ethereal container tunnel. Zipper Architecture is the first instance of Zipper Architecture where the surfaces can be closed and opened like windows.
Ease of Loading and Unloading
If you're shipping items or using a shipping container for storage purposes it is essential to make sure your cargo is properly secured. Otherwise, you risk damages to your belongings as well as the possibility of your shipment falling during transport. To avoid these issues, it's important to use load-securing materials to keep your items in place. This includes load bars and straps wood bracing, plywood bracing, and even a dunnage bag.
While there are several types of shipping containers on the market tunnel containers are particularly useful for transportation and storage because they offer ease of access to the cargo inside. Tunnel containers have double doors at both sides, making it easy to unload and load items. This makes them an excellent option for loading vehicles such as snowmobiles and motorbikes.
Tunnel containers are also popular to store items, like machinery and heavy equipment. Dual entry points allow you to move heavy equipment in and out of the container without having to reverse your tractor or vehicle. They're also ideal for onsite storage as they can be altered with a partition down the middle to create two useable units from one container.
In addition to having two standard double doors on both ends of the walls, tunnel containers have an additional door in the side (long) wall. This allows them to have the same accessibility as storage containers that are open-side but at a lower cost.
Tunnel containers can also be fitted with side windows and lighting. They can be used as a storage area or office. This kind of change can be extremely cost-effective, especially if you need to store a large amount of equipment.
Tunnel shipping containers can also be fitted with a refrigeration system, which is an effective way to preserve temperature-sensitive goods. These containers are also known as refrigerated ISO containers or reefer containers. They can be utilized in a variety of ways, including cold storage and distribution of food.
Improved Security
When it comes to storing sensitive or valuable items security is of paramount importance. While shipping containers are secure by design, there are additional features that can be installed to increase security. Modification options include steel window bars as well as alarm systems. These options can be placed inside and outside of the container to make it harder for anyone who is not authorized to gain access.
A tunnel container can be equipped with a high-security lock. This locks the door and prevents anyone else from opening the door. A locking box can be used to protect the lock, enhancing security by stopping tampering. A crossbar lock is a good addition to the doors of the container which makes it harder for anyone to open the door off.
Shipping container tunnels are extremely versatile and can be altered to accommodate a variety of needs. For example, they can be used as a workplace or workshop, offering an environment that is safe for workers working in dangerous environments. They can also be adapted to suit a variety of different kinds of equipment and machinery. They can also be fitted with a fork pocket and ventilation systems which makes them easy to transport on large industrial forklifts.
Contrary to standard ISO shipping containers that have doors on one side, tunnel container features double cargo doors at both ends. This provides easy and efficient access, which is essential for storing vehicles and heavy equipment. These attributes make the tunnel shipping container a great solution for applications that require an unbeatable level of flexibility and efficiency.
In the past the units were used as ballistic shelters for people working in hostile environments. Specifically, they were shipped to Erbil in Iraq where the threat of terrorist attacks was a constant fact. The ballistic shipping containers were designed and built by local engineers in collaboration with workers to provide a safe refuge from their workplaces. They also provided quick access to emergency supplies. The containers were made from high-quality Corten Steel known for its strength and durability.
Versatility
A tunnel shipping container has double cargo doors at both ends. These containers are also referred to as tunnel boxes with double doors. They allow easy access to the interior of the container from either end. This makes them more flexible and accessibility. These storage units can be used as tunnels or be modified from standard containers. The solid end of the standard container is removed and new double doors are welded in place, allowing two-way access to the interior.
Tunnel containers are very popular for storing massive machinery or equipment. It is possible to load and unload heavy equipment quickly without having to reverse your vehicle or risking losing cargo. The dual-end doors permit easy rotation of your stored items, which is essential for high-frequency applications such as construction or steel work.
Tunnel containers are not only extremely versatile, but also cost-effective. They are typically less expensive than traditional storage solutions and can be transported easily via flatbed trucks, or trains. Additionally they can be outfitted with the latest security features or ventilation systems that meet your specific requirements and needs.
Security is also improved by the dual-end doors of a tunnel container. They let you monitor your stored items from both sides. This will help reduce the possibility of theft and loss. This feature is particularly useful when it comes to storing expensive equipment or materials.
In addition to being highly efficient tunnel shipping containers are extremely durable and long-lasting. They are made of corten steel, which is one of the most durable metals on the planet. These steel-framed containers are built to withstand the rigors of ocean travel and a lifetime of use.
Whether you're in search of a secure storage solution for your business or home, a tunnel container can provide the perfect solution. They're not just sturdy and affordable, but they are also flexible enough to transform into a stunning living room or a cozy home office. And with their modern, sleek design they will certainly enhance the appeal of your home or business.
Cost-Effectiveness
Compared to conventional shipping, tunnel containers come with several benefits that can help businesses save money. One major benefit is that they don't require the use of cranes. This will save businesses a significant amount of money, particularly when they need to lease cranes for loading and unloading cargo frequently. They can also be stacked higher than standard shipping containers. This helps to save space in storage yards and lowers shipping costs. Furthermore they are an excellent choice for businesses that need to store and transport large machinery.
Contrary to conventional shipping containers that are used for shipping, the tunnel container features double doors at both ends. This makes them easier to access things stored in storage, as opposed to standard containers that only have doors on one side. It also speeds up the handling of containers at the port, and increases efficiency. This can help reduce delays and costs associated with container arrangements on ships.
A tunnel container is a good choice for transporting equipment and machinery. Our customers have used tunnel containers to transport everything from generators to water treatment plants to tents and awnings for roadshows. The double-end entry allows for easier and faster loading of equipment and other supplies.
They can be modified to suit various needs and are available in a 'one-trip new condition. For instance, you could convert a tunnel container into a mobile security office by adding a turnstile or manual secure entry checkpoint. You can also convert them into retail and food stands for markets or events.
Tunnel containers can also be used to store plant equipment and provide employees with easy, secure access. We've even seen them transformed into office spaces, providing an economical way for companies to accommodate their employees when they are working. They are easy to move from one location to the next, thereby saving time and money on setup. They can also be outfitted with a retractable roof to provide additional protection against harsh weather conditions.
