Tunnel Containers
The main characteristic of tunnel containers, as the name implies is the double door design at both ends of the container. This significantly enhances access and makes them ideal for storage and handling of products.
COG Containers LTD can also convert them into self-storage units by incorporating the partition. We have also helped customers use them to house plant machinery and provide secure site access using turnstiles.
Dual Access
Tunnel containers are an alternative to the typical shipping container, with double doors at both ends. Known as a 'double end door container' or tunnel container, these containers provide access to stored items from both ends.
Dual-end access lets cargo be unloaded or loaded from either side of the container. This is perfect for transporting larger or heavier goods that would need to be moved into and out of the box. Double-end access eliminates the need to empty the entire container in order to reach goods buried deep inside, which saves time and reducing the chance of damage.
This nifty feature is what makes tunnel containers so flexible and versatile. They can be used for a wide range of storage and transport needs, including being converted into living spaces or mobile offices. Because they're constructed of robust, corrosion-resistant Corten steel they are able to endure even the most extreme weather conditions.
If you're looking for a more secure solution We can join steel bulkheads to one of the long sides, resulting in two storage compartments that measure 10ft. Self-storage companies can make use of them to separate their customers' belongings into different areas, which increases security. Our double end door containers are also popular as ticket entry points at large events because they're easily able to accommodate lines of people while keeping them dry.
Our 20ft double-door tunnel containers feature fork pockets that can be used with industrial forklifts. This means that they are able to be stackable or lifted at the corners of each side. We've also fitted PIR insulation and heaters to these units which allows them to be used for year-round storage.
We can manufacture tunnel containers in custom sizes to meet your precise specifications if you require a more bespoke solution. We can produce them in both double-sided and single-sided versions and also in various lengths. However a custom-sized tunnel container is more expensive than a standard shipping container, so we suggest choosing the size that is closest to your needs.
Temperature-Sensitive Goods
Most dangerous goods like explosives, flammable liquids, and organic peroxides, must be stored at the right temperature. Any fluctuations in temperature can affect their stability, and could cause a fire or release toxic fumes. When storing temperature-sensitive hazardous goods, it's essential that container terminal facilities are equipped with the appropriate monitoring equipment to track and identify any anomalies or deviations from set temperatures.
These fluctuations can often be difficult to identify, particularly during a hectic workday. This is why it's essential that container terminals use an instrument that provides real-time temperature monitoring of all reefer containers in their facility. This gives personnel the ability to react quickly in case of any abnormalities and prevent any risks that could arise.
Tunnel containers are a practical option when it comes to transporting and storing temperature-sensitive goods. Double doors are situated at both ends of the container, making it easier to load and unload during transportation as well as storage. They can be used to store large objects like vehicles and machinery.
These modified containers are usually made from a standard 20ft or 40ft shipping container, the solid end is removed and new double doors welded in place, resulting in two-way access. These modified containers are commonly used on construction locations where heavy machinery needs to be passed over and under.
Some terminals convert their tunnel shipping containers to be used as a secure entrance to the site with a turnstile, or a an automated security checkpoint when visitors go through. While these conversions aren't available in standard sizes however, they can be customized to meet specific requirements and are extremely cost-effective as compared to the construction of an entire facility from scratch. Tunnel containers are usually only available in a brand new 'one trip' condition because their owners design them specifically for a specific use and then retain them. This makes them a desired product for those looking to expand their business or warehouse storage capacity without having to invest in a brand new refrigerated facility. They are also a very economical solution for those who want to store temperature-sensitive goods over long periods of time, or for transporting large volumes of cargo over long distances.
Convenient Storage
A tunnel container is an excellent option for storing your cargo. These containers have double doors at both ends, unlike standard dry storage container which only has one door. This means you can access your storage container from either side which allows for more convenient access and quicker loading and unloading of items.
This dual entry point can be particularly beneficial when storing goods that require frequent access, such as machinery and equipment. This means that you don't have to constantly reverse vehicles in and out of the container, which can cause damage to your vehicle as well as the container.
You can also keep your items in a tunnel container when you require an appropriate temperature. The refrigerated and thermal tunnel containers are great for this because they come with temperature controls to ensure that the goods stored inside are kept at a certain temperature.
In addition to allowing easy access for your workers, a tunnel container is a great solution for garages or workshops because it allows you to access all areas of your workspace without having to move objects around. Dual doors at either end let you quickly enter and exit your storage container if needed.
One-trip tunnel containers are available as new constructions that come with two sets of double doors, or modified shipping containers. In the second case, the solid end is removed from the container and a pair of double doors is attached to each end.
These containers are usually only available in new one-trip condition, because their owners have designed them for a specific reason and will not want to sell them on. However, you can still purchase refurbished tunnels from companies that offer this type of container. These containers that have been refurbished are tested to ensure that they are safe for transportation and are sold with an extended warranty.
Easy Transportation
The double cargo doors on both ends of tunnel containers allow you to easily load and unload items from either end. These containers are ideal for transporting general and bulk cargo, as well as specific items such as automobiles or motorbikes. These containers are commonly used to construct temporary tunnels on construction sites because of their durability, safety and ease in modification.
Shipping containers with double doors can be excellent storage. The ability to gain access to both sides of a container will save you time and money by eliminating the requirement to remove the entire container or section to access the items that are stored in the back. The doors on both sides can also be locked to prevent unauthorised access.
These containers are constructed of corten steel and are designed to withstand harsh conditions. They are wind and watertight, and feature ventilation to ensure that airflow is maintained. These features can safeguard your goods from moisture and reduce the chance of loss or loss or.
Based on your needs depending on your needs, you can select from several options for tunnel containers. Open top containers, for example, have a bow-top that can be removed to make loading heavy and large cargo more convenient. Side-open containers come with doors that are placed on the side of the container making them ideal for storing smaller items. A refrigerated ISO container, or reefer, has a regulated temperature and can be used to store temperature-sensitive goods.
These containers are available in new and refurbished options in sizes of 20 and 40 feet with doors on both ends to make loading easy. These containers can be customized to meet your requirements but will cost more than a standard double-end door container.
