Advantages of a Tunnel Container
A tunnel container is fitted with double doors at both ends. This makes it easier to load and unload cargo from either side. This makes it ideal for the storage of large objects like automobiles and machinery.
Their dual entry points make them perfect for self-storage containers, where the partition could be constructed to divide the 20ft units in two 10ft ones.
Easy Accessibility

This double access point allows loading and unloading cargo simpler. It's a major advantage for businesses with specific requirements regarding transportation and storage.
Our client needed a place to store large machines and tools to maintain the operation of their railway-centric facility. We repurposed two shipping container cabins and put an access door on one of the long sides. We fitted PIR insulation and heaters to make the area ideal for all-year-round use. We also added lighting, double sockets, and a 16A power supply.
The tunnel containers now provide the perfect space to keep their valuable equipment safely stored away from the public, while providing their employees with easy access to maintenance and repairs. The containers are set on a raised platform to prevent flooding and protect the contents from inclement weather.
For customers who have an ongoing requirement for a tunnel container, we can put either manual or electric roller shutters on the side of the container to create an entry point that is secure. This is a great option for sites that require security checks to be carried out when individuals enter and leave the premises.
Tunnel containers can also come with a retractable roof in order to create a secure environment that is fully waterproof and windproof, shielding against the elements during transport or when in storage. This is particularly useful for companies with sensitive materials that need to be kept at a steady temperature, such as pharmaceuticals or food products.

The most important factor when filling containers is to make sure that all the items you require fit comfortably within the box.
