Tunnel Containers
As the name suggests, the key feature of tunnel containers is the dual door design on each side of the container. This greatly improves access and makes them ideal for handling and storage of items.
They can also be converted into self-storage units with the addition of the partition. We have helped customers use them for storage of plant machinery and secure site access with turnstiles.
Dual Access
A tunnel container is an alternative to a standard shipping container with double doors at both ends. These containers are also referred to as a "double door end container" or a "tunnel-shaped container". They provide access to the storage items at both ends.
The dual-end access allows cargo to be loaded and unloaded from both sides of the container, which is ideal for transporting bulkier or larger items that would otherwise need to be backed into and out of the container. The double-end access removes the necessity of unloading the entire container in order to get to goods stored deep within, which can be time-saving and decreases the chance of causing damage during transportation.
This unique feature makes tunnel containers versatile and flexible.
