Tunnel Container Uses

Tunnel containers are also known as double door shipping containers, they have the same dimensions as a standard ISO container, but the difference is that they open at both ends. This allows for quick access to the cargo and is useful for those who use the container for storage or conversion project.

Transport

Tunnel containers are ideal for a variety of purposes. The dual entry points provide easy access to equipment and other materials from either end which makes it easier for palletised goods to be moved using a forklift, and also makes the management of stock flow easier. tunnel shipping container containers are often used as temporary bridges at construction sites, or as ticket entry points for festivals or other events.

They are also an excellent solution for self storage. By erection of an iron bulkhead partition the 20ft tunnel container can become two 10ft units, increasing the ROI. Tunnel containers can be modified in many ways. They can have internal lighting and side windows which makes them more suitable for business.

Double doors at both ends of the container are ideal for the storage of large or bulky items. This is particularly useful for warehouses, where it is difficult to access large machines and vehicles inside the standard shipping containers. You can save lots of time by not having to constantly move the container.

Tunnel containers can be fitted with cooling and heating systems, which allows them to be used for temperature controlled storage of items such as foods, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and electronic equipment. They can also be fitted with ventilation to avoid condensation.

Like standard shipping containers tunnel containers are available in both 20ft and 40ft tunnel containers sizes. They are ISO shipping standards and CSC plated to be used for international freight. They can also be made weatherproof by adding insulation.

They can be affixed to tracks or truck frames or transported on flat-bed or chassis trucks. They're also a great option for law enforcement equipment as they can be easily moved between bases and can stop the identification of high value equipment such as command and control centers or mobile operating theatres. They can also be transported with a range of weaponry including missile launchers. The Container City in Cholula, Mexico is an excellent example of how the old sea containers can be turned into galleries, restaurants, workshops - and homes!

Stores

Double-end doors containers, also known as Tunnel Containers, allow access to the storage items at both ends of a container. This allows for simple loading and unloading as well as full use of the storage space. This makes these units ideal as self storage facilities, giving access to both sides of the container without having to unload items. This is especially useful for those who store larger, bulky or awkward items like machinery and heavy equipment.

In addition the tunnel container's design allows them to be easily converted into offices or other storage spaces that are secure. Tunnel containers, unlike open side shipping containers, can be opened from both ends and locked at the other end. They are great for constructing offices on site and even housing, if required.

These shipping containers can be used to store specialised items. For instance military units could make use of containers to transport expensive systems to temporary locations such as command and control centres or mobile theatres of operation, making it unnecessary for these costly systems to be transported by roads.

Similarly, specialised industrial equipment like turbines and generators can be shipped similarly. This allows for the rapid deployment of critical infrastructure in areas where it is needed and drastically reduces the time and expense associated with the installation of fixed infrastructure.

These units are able to be fitted with a temperature control system and a thermal insulation if you are shipping a dangerous cargo such as chemicals or biological materials. This allows the unit to maintain an extremely low temperature, which will prevent any loss of food.

These units are able to be fitted with tarp covers that can be removed that offer additional flexibility when loading and unloading. This allows large or heavy cargo that would not fit in traditional shipping containers to be transported, like huge machinery wood, construction materials or other large items. These units can be fitted with lockboxes of high security that block entry from above.

Stuffing & De Stuffing

Logistics professionals employ different terms to describe how cargo is prepared for transport and then moved along a supply chain. These terms include container stuffing and de-stuffing. These terms refer to the process by which goods are placed into or removed from containers for shipping. Understanding these concepts will aid any business that uses shipping containers for distribution or storage to grow.

Stuffing a container tunnel involves strategically placing freight in order to maximize space and meet specific logistic needs. To prevent damage in transportation, loading and packing techniques that are specifically for the cargo are required. It is important to place the heaviest cargo on the bottom and stack lighter items on top. Also it is essential to take appropriate security measures to prevent cargo from shifting during transit. Optimizing the container load helps reduce shipping, handling and labour costs and ensures compliance with regulations to ensure safe transportation.

Upon arrival at the destination, container de-stuffing or unloading is a vital step to maintaining the efficiency of the supply chain. This process removes excess freight from a container for shipping, and requires careful inspection to identify any signs of water damage or other physical damage that could threaten the integrity of the cargo. De-stuffing can only be accomplished when the logistics company and shipper can communicate effectively and adhere to all applicable regulations.

Refurbished tunnel containers are a cost-effective solution for businesses that require a safe and secure access point to their site. These containers can be converted into a turnstile, or an entry checkpoint that is manually operated to restrict access to areas in the facility. These containers are popular for temporary bridges as well as ticket entrances for large events.

While a tunnel container isn't the most popular kind of container for shipping, they're becoming increasingly popular in multimodal logistics applications. They're perfect for shipping and storing, as the doors are double-ended, allowing access from either end. They are frequently used for self storage by organisations who require dual access to their stock. Portable Space can weld steel bulkhead partitions into a 20ft container to create two separate 10ft storage compartments. This is much cheaper than buying new storage containers.

Security

Tunneling is a method used to establish a direct connection between two points on the network. It encapsulates packets that use one routing protocol that is integrated into other protocols to ensure that routers on either side of the tunnel can directly connect to one another.

This allows multiple applications to use the same infrastructure. For instance, a company can build tunnels to connect its internal resources and the internet. This can help them maintain the same security standards for all employees and customers. The company can protect sensitive data from being accessed by using tunnels.

Despite being constructed of steel, container cargo loads are still vulnerable to theft. Thieves have become sophisticated in their tactics, and they can often get inside a container by removing its doors or hinges. Therefore, it is essential for companies to implement security measures to stop their containers from being stolen.

One method to accomplish this is to put a lockbox on the doors. These are welded steel shrouds that are able to fit around the lug that holds the padlock on the door of the container. they make it extremely difficult to get into the padlock area using bolt cutters. In addition, companies can add an alarm with a high security level that will notify them when someone tries to cut into the lockbox.

Installing the turnstile, or manual entry checkpoint with secured access is another method to enhance security. This is particularly useful for events that have large crowds. It can be used to keep guests safe from rain and wind, while security personnel can inspect the people as they enter the venue.

Shipping containers are available in a variety of sizes and conditions. This lets businesses find the container that best fits their needs. For instance, some are designed for heavy items, such as machinery and vehicles. Some containers have doors on both ends to facilitate loading and unloading. There are refrigerated containers that can be used for transporting fresh food items.
