What Is a Shipping Container Tunnel?
Double end door containers, also known as tunnel containers, are shipping containers with standard double doors on both ends - when open they're like a tunnel!
With two access points, they are very popular for storage. It is easier to rotate the stock into and out. Portable Space can weld steel bulkheads to a tunnel container to create two separate storage containers of 10 feet.
Easy Access
A shipping container tunnel is an end-to-end container with double doors. This feature makes it much easier to load and unload goods. This feature lets you reach items in the back of the container without moving any other items.
Because of the accessibility, these containers are great for use in warehouses and industrial applications where it's important to have quick and easy access to all the necessary materials. Self-storage businesses can also use them to create two separate units. These containers are ideal for storage that is secure, since they have two entrance points. This allows you to rotate and access the items within storage.
These shipping containers are available either new or used. They come with double doors and a door at one end. Shipping containers are available in 20ft and 40ft size. We have a large selection in both Florida and Nashville TN.
The majority of our inventory is brand new, one-trip containers that are cargo-worthy and in very good condition. We do have a few used containers that are in excellent condition and could be a good alternative for those on a tight budget. We can also customize these double-door containers to meet your needs.
These containers can also be used in innovative ways, such as turningtiles. This lets security personnel inspect people as they come and go from the site. This is an excellent solution for construction sites with numerous workers coming and going throughout the day. It's a great method to know who is at the site and what their responsibilities are.
Another great use for these containers is as temporary bridges. These containers are a great alternative to build bridges and cost a fraction of the price. They also provide an environmentally friendly solution as they are made of recycled steel and are reusable after the event is over.

Contrary to conventional shipping containers with side-opening doors, the tunnel container design features double doors on both ends. This improves accessibility and facilitates an easier flow of loading and unloading.
This feature is crucial for an easy transportation process when you use the container to transport large vehicles or heavy equipment. The tunnel-like design lets you to access the items in the back of the box without having to remove it from both ends.
A tunnel shipping container can also be used for self-storage containers since it is able to be divided into two separate units. The dual entry points make the container easy to access for when you want to move inventory around or replenish your shelves.
Comparatively to standard containers tunnel containers provide a foot of extra height, thereby increasing storage capacity and allowing easier access for taller items. These containers are made from corrosion-resistant Corten Steel, which ensures durability. They are also water- and windtight, protecting your items from the harsh weather conditions.
Shipping containers are highly versatile and can be used for any type of storage or conversion. For instance, you could transform tunnel containers into a mobile office, a workshop, or even a living space. You can also modify your tunnel container using a range of conversion materials to meet your needs.
If you're planning on burying a tunnel container underground, it's important to consult with an expert in container modification prior to making any structural changes. The underground structure needs to be adequately ventilated and insulated. Proper precautions should be taken to protect the container from becoming damaged or infected. The underground structure must be designed to take full advantage of the fact the the shipping container's roof is thicker than the floor.
Temporary Bridges
The damaged steel and roadway of Baltimore's collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge may remain blocking the shipping lane to the port of the city but the Key Bridge Response Unified Command has opened a new temporary channel that allows "commercially essential vessels" to move through. The new channel is a 35-foot deep alternative route through the crash site. It will likely remain open until the mangled steel of the Dali cargo ship is removed.
These temporary structures are a great way to reroute road traffic, or to bridge rivers and uneven terrain on construction sites. They can be set up within a matter of hours, and they are flat-packed for easy transport and storage. Smaller versions are specifically designed specifically for pedestrians, and aid in ensuring that pedestrians can safely cross construction sites.
The larger versions of these structures can be used to cross rivers or railway lines, and can even be rated as fully highway rated. They are commonly used to reroute road traffic around obstacles that are impassable, or to give heavy vehicles access to remote mining or oil sites. These larger bridges are built in sections which can be joined in any way required, and generally are packaged as a set of pre-made parts to be assembled on-site.
Some bridges can be protected from the pounding of large ships using a raised sea floor and "fender systems" which shield them from the force of waves or debris. Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge is an instance. The tower's base is a rock-island that protects it.
For companies that need to manage ticket checks for events, a double-door tunnel container is a convenient way to keep people away from rain and direct sun while they check in. These containers can be split up to create different security areas and are ideal for festivals, concerts or sports games, among other large gatherings. They are also suitable for temporary storage, keeping equipment and supplies out of harm's way. They can be stacked to make more space for a concession stand.
Security
The security of a shipping container is no little concern. These sturdy structures guard items from the harsh weather as well as thieves. Even though containers are made with strong locking mechanisms, they are able to be breached if criminals are determined enough and possess the proper tools. Fortunately, there are many preventative measures and deterrents which can be implemented to safeguard your possessions.
For example, a shipping container can be equipped with security systems, such as CCTV that monitor and record the movements of the premises. This is particularly beneficial when you use your container for storage such as a company or other company that needs to keep track of its inventory. These units can be fitted with alarms that alarm if someone attempts to break in.
A lock that is impervious to manipulation is another method to prevent theft. This type of lock is used to lock the door on a container without the need for keys. It makes it harder for thieves to gain access to your possessions.
Additionally an inclusion of a floodlight may be a visual deterrent for criminals. It can also be activated by movement within the area of your container. These lights can also work all night, providing illumination for any intruders, and helping to deter them from the area.
A double-door shipping container or a Tunnel shipping box is an additional option to increase security. These are one-trip containers that come with the standard double doors on both sides of the container, rather than only on the front end. This makes it much easier to load and unload cargo. You don't have to unload the entire unit to get to something at the back. Tunnel containers are popular with businesses and other organizations that utilize their containers for storing equipment and machinery, like boiler rooms or machinery stores. They can also be used as temporary bridges or ticket entrances during large events.
