Advantages of a Tunnel Container
A tunnel container comes with double doors on both ends making it easy to access cargo from either side. This makes it ideal to store large items such as vehicles and machinery.
Often used for site security as turnstiles with dual entry points are also ideal for self storage containers and where the installation of a partition may split the 20ft units into two 10ft ones.
Easy Accessibility
The primary distinction between tunnel containers and conventional shipping containers is tunnel containers have doors at both ends. This double access point makes loading and unloading cargo easier. It's a major benefit for businesses that have particular requirements in terms of storage and transportation.
Our client needed a space to store large equipment and tools to keep their railway site. We repurposed two shipping containers as cabins and put an access door on one of the long sides. We installed PIR insulation and heaters to make the area ideal for all-year-round use. We also added lighting, double sockets, and a power supply.
Tunnel containers are now the ideal space to keep their valuable equipment safely hidden from view by the public, whilst still giving their employees access to maintenance and repairs. The containers are positioned on a raised platform in order to shield their contents from weather damage and to prevent flooding.
We can place electric or manual rollers to create a secure entrance point for customers who have an ongoing need for tunnel containers. This is a great option for sites where security checks must be carried out when individuals enter and leave the area.
Tunnel containers can also be fitted with a retractable roof to create an enclosed environment which is completely weatherproof and waterproof, defending against the elements during transit or storage. This is especially useful for businesses dealing with materials that are sensitive such as pharmaceuticals or food, which require an appropriate temperature.
Our clients have used their tunnel containers for a wide variety of purposes, from housing and retail to on-site office space and even as booths for trade shows.

Easy Stuffing and De Stuffing
It is a major undertaking to fill and de-stuff shipping containers. It requires planning, warehouse workers and the proper equipment to ensure that the job is done well and quickly. It also takes up a lot of space in the facility for stuffing as well as the warehouse that receives the container.
The most important factor when packing the container is to ensure that all the items you require can fit comfortably inside the container. This will reduce the risk of the damage to your cargo caused by shifting or compression during transportation. You will want to allow enough space for handling and inspecting your goods. Make sure the container is sealed and all doors are closed.
Another benefit of a tunnel container is that it permits you to access your items from both ends. This is important because it allows you to easily get your items in and out of the container. This feature is particularly useful when you're using the container for a storefront or for security purposes.
The one-trip tunnel shipping container comes with standard double doors at both sides of the container, making it simple to load and unload cargo from either end of the container. This makes it ideal to store large, heavy items, such as vehicles and machinery. In fact, many self storage businesses use these containers as a cost efficient method to store and rotate items that they don't require regularly. Portable Space is also able to weld steel bulkheads to the container, resulting in two storage compartments that are separate for your goods if you want an extra secure solution.
The tunnel shipping container can be used to transport dangerous products or materials. It's a safe and convenient alternative to moving the goods in a van or truck and protects the contents from pests and weather. It also offers better security for valuables and sensitive equipment. It's an excellent option for shipping less than container loads (LCL), which can help reduce the possibility of goods being damaged or lost in transit.
Easy Unloading and Loading
If you're looking to transport cargo with easy access, a tunnel container is a great option. They come with a double cargo door at both ends which makes it much easier to unload and load cargo. Additionally, they're often significantly cheaper than side-opening containers. This makes them an excellent alternative for transporting heavy, bulky cargo.
Another way that tunnel containers can help your business is by providing you with more storage capacity. They're typically larger than the standard sizes of shipping containers which means they can store more cargo. Furthermore, they can be easily modified for a specific use. For example, they can be made into car carrier containers, which is used to transport cars.
Tunnel Containers are also a popular choice to be used as a temporary bridge or ticket entrance for large events. Portable Space can weld in steel bulkheads to create two distinct 10ft storage compartments in the 20ft tunnel container, which is a more cost effective solution than buying two standard containers. This is ideal for self-storage companies that want to provide their customers with more convenient access to their site.
These containers are also ideal for construction sites. They can be modified to provide a secure way through a construction site with both ends of the container being open and locked. This allows workers to easily move through the tunnel while keeping any unwelcome traffic out of the area.
You can convert tunnel containers for security by installing a turnstile, or a checkpoint for security that is manually secured as users enter the container. Tunnel containers can be purchased from the manufacturer or second-hand and then converted for certain purposes for example, retail or on-site housing.
Tunnel containers are a versatile option that can be used for a variety of different purposes, including storage, shipping and conversion.
