Shipping Container Tunnel
Shipping container tunnels, also known as double door containers, come with normal double doors on both sides of the container, which effectively creates a tunnel once opened. This facilitates easy access and greatly increases the convenience of loading and unloading cargo.
Tunnel containers are available in a new 'one trip' condition and can be used for a wide variety of conversion and storage projects. They are used by numerous customers to create small, safe storage spaces, simply by splitting the middle.
Easy Access
With two standard double doors at both ends tunnel shipping containers give an easier access to storage items than a normal container that has only one set of doors. This makes them extremely popular with self storage companies who utilize them to create separate storage areas for various kinds of items, for instance, boxes and tools in one section and furniture or equipment in the other.
Tunnel containers are also suitable for companies that need to store or transport large or bulky items e.g. Construction firms, car dealerships and manufacturing firms. Due to their dual entry points tunnel containers can be loaded or unloaded faster than standard containers. This can help increase productivity, cut costs and avoid costly delays.

They can easily accommodate fork lift ramps as well as hand dolly ramps that are very useful in busy work environments.
Tunnel containers are weatherproof and can be used outdoors in a variety of different locations.
