7 Simple Tricks To Totally Enjoying Your Tunnel Containers
Tunnel Containers The key feature of tunnel containers, as the name implies is the double door design at both ends of the container. This significantly improves accessibility and makes them ideal for storage and handling of goods. You can also turn them into self-storage units by adding a partition. We have helped customers use them for storage of plant machinery and secure access to the site with turnstiles. Dual Access A tunnel container is an alternative to the typical shipping container, with double doors at both ends. Also known as a double end door container' or tunnel container, these containers provide access to stored items from both ends. Dual-end access allows cargo to be loaded and unloaded from either side of the container. This is perfect for transporting heavier or larger goods that would need to be backed into and out of the box. Double-end access eliminates the need to empty the entire container in order to access the items that are buried inside, which saves time and reducing the chance of damage. This innovative feature makes tunnel containers flexible and adaptable. They can be used for a diverse variety of storage and transportation needs, including being converted into living spaces or mobile offices. These containers are made of rugged, corrosion resistant Corten steel and can endure the toughest weather conditions. If you want an extra secure solution We can join steel bulkheads to one of the long sides, resulting in two separate storage compartments of 10ft. This makes them ideal for self storage businesses who want to increase security by separating their customers' items into separate areas. Our double-end door containers are also popular for use as ticket entry points at large events, as they're easily able to accommodate crowds of people while keeping them dry. Our 20ft double door tunnel containers feature fork pockets that are suitable for industrial forklifts. This means that they can easily be stacked or lifted at the corners of each side. We've also installed PIR insulation and heaters to these units which makes them suitable for year-round storage. If you're looking for a more bespoke container solution We can also create custom-sized tunnel containers that meet your exact specifications. We can make containers in double-sided and single-sided versions, as well as different lengths. However a custom-sized tunnel container will cost more than an ordinary shipping container, so we suggest selecting the one that is closest to your needs. Temperature-Sensitive Goods The most dangerous products like explosives, flammable liquids and organic peroxides, must be stored at the right temperature. Any fluctuations in temperature can alter their stability, and lead to 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. In many cases these fluctuations can be difficult to spot, especially during a hectic workday. This is why it's essential that container terminals utilize an instrument that provides real-time temperature monitoring for all reefer containers in their facility. This allows staff to react swiftly to any issues, preventing any potential risks. Tunnel containers are a practical option when it comes to transporting and storing temperature-sensitive goods. They feature double doors at both ends, which improves accessibility and speeds loading and unloading operations when warehousing and transportation. They can also be used to store bulky items like machinery and vehicles. The modified containers are typically constructed from a standard 20ft or 40ft shipping container. The solid end is removed, and a new set of double doors welded in place, creating two-way access. They are often used at construction sites, where it is necessary to pass over and under heavy equipment. Some terminals convert their tunnel shipping containers to function as a secure entry point to the site by installing a turnstile or an automated security checkpoint when visitors go through. Although these conversions aren't offered in a standard size but they are easily made to meet the specific needs of the customer and are highly cost effective compared to constructing an entire facility from scratch. Tunnel containers are generally only available in a new “one-trip” condition, as their owners create them specifically for a particular purpose and then hold onto them. This makes them a highly desired product for those wanting to expand their business or storage capacity in warehouses 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 If you're looking to store space for your cargo, a tunnel container is an excellent option. These containers come with double doors on both sides of the container, in contrast to conventional dry storage containers, which have one door at the end. This lets you access your storage container from either side. This allows you to load and unload items. COG Containers LTD is especially beneficial for a container which is intended to store items you require frequent access to equipment or machinery equipment. This means you don't have to shift your vehicle in and out of the storage container continuously and risk damaging both the container as well as your vehicle. You can also utilize a tunnel container for store goods that you need to keep at a specific temperature. The refrigerator and thermal tunnel containers are perfect for this, as they are temperature controlled and will keep the goods inside at a specific temperature. A tunnel container is an ideal solution for a workshop or garage. It lets you access all areas of your workspace without the need to move furniture. The dual doors at each end also let you move into and out of your storage container quickly, in the event of need. One trip tunnel containers can be constructed from new with two sets of double doors, or adapted from a conventional shipping container. In the latter scenario the solid part of the container is removed, and two doors are welded in place at each end of the container. Shipping containers like these are usually only available as new , in a condition that is only one-trip, because their owners have built them for a specific reason and don't want them to be sold. Some companies offer refurbished tunnel containers. These refurbished containers are tested to ensure they are safe to transport and can be sold along with a warranty that is extended. Easy Transportation The double cargo doors on both sides of tunnel containers allow you to easily load and unload items from either end. This makes them ideal for transporting all types of general and bulk cargo, including specific goods like cars or motorbikes. These containers are also used as makeshift tunnels on construction sites due to their durability, safety, and ease of modification. Shipping containers with double doors can be fantastic storage. The ability to access both sides of the container eliminates the need to completely unload goods or even remove a section of the container to access the contents stored in the back, which will save time and money. Additionally, the doors on both ends can be locked to prevent any unauthorized access. These containers are very robust, and since they're made from corten steel, they're designed to withstand harsh weather conditions.
