Advantages of a Tunnel Container

This double access point allows loading and unloading cargo a lot easier. It's a major benefit for businesses that have particular requirements in terms of transportation and storage.
Our client required a space to store large machinery and tools for the maintenance of their railway-centric site.

We also added two sockets lighting, a 16A supply.
Tunnel containers are the ideal workspace for storing their valuable equipment away from the public but allowing their employees to easily access it to perform maintenance and repair. The containers are set on a raised platform in order to protect their contents from weather damage and to prevent flooding.

Simple Stuffing and De Stuffing
Stuffing and de-stuffing shipping containers is a major operation. It requires planning, warehouse personnel and the proper equipment to ensure the task is done well and quickly. It also takes up a lot of space in the packing facility and the warehouse that receives a container.
The most important factor when stuffing the container is to make sure that everything you require can be easily fit into the box. This will reduce the risk of the damage to your cargo caused by compression or shifting during transportation. It is important to leave enough room for the handling and inspection of your cargo. Make sure the container is sealed and all doors are shut.
The tunnel container also permits you to access the goods from both ends. This is important because it saves time and makes it easier to move your items in and out of the container. This feature is especially beneficial if the container is being used as a storefront, or for security reasons.
The standard double doors are situated on both ends of a one-trip tunnel shipping container. This makes it simple to load and unload cargo. This makes it perfect for storing large, bulky items, such as machinery and vehicles. Self-storage companies make use of these units to store and rotate goods that they don't use on a regular basis. Portable Space is also able to weld steel bulkheads into the container, resulting in two separate storage compartments for your items if you require a more secure solution.
The tunnel shipping container can be used for transporting hazardous goods or other materials. It is a convenient and secure alternative to transporting items in a truck or van because the container shields the contents against insects and weather. It also provides better security for expensive items and sensitive equipment. It's an excellent option for shipping smaller than container loads (LCL) which will reduce the possibility of goods being damaged or missing during transportation.
Easy Unloading and Loading
Tunnel containers are the best option if you're trying to transport cargo that requires access to the area. They feature a double cargo door at both ends, making it much easier to unload and load cargo. In addition, they're usually cheaper than side-opening containers. This makes them an excellent alternative to transport heavy, bulky cargo.
Another way tunnel containers can benefit your business is by providing 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 modified for a specific use. For instance, they can be converted into a car carrier container, which is used to transport cars.
Tunnel Containers are also a popular choice for their use as a temporary bridge or ticket entry point at large events. Portable Space can weld in steel bulkheads to create two separate 10ft storage compartments within the 20ft tunnel container to provide the most cost-effective option than purchasing two standard containers. This is also ideal for self-storage businesses who wish to offer their clients better site access.
These containers are also great for construction sites. The container can be modified to give security for a construction site. Both ends are able to be opened and lockable. This allows workers to 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 manual secure entry checkpoint at the time that users enter the container. Tunnel containers can be bought new from manufacturers or purchased second hand and converted to specific purposes for example, retail or on-site housing.
Tunnel containers are an extremely versatile option for a variety of applications, from shipping to storage and conversion. They are available in a variety of sizes and are transported via rail, road or sea. They're also CSC-plated and ISO-certified, meaning they meet international standards for intermodal transportation. This makes them a great option for your next project. Contact container tunnel ideas to discuss your options if you're interested.
