Tunnel Containers - How to Load a Shipping Container
Tunnel containers are shipping containers that have double doors on both ends rather than one end. They can be purchased as new 'one-trip' containers or converted second-hand storage containers.
The dual access points make them ideal for storing items and equipment. Items can be pulled easily from either side, without the need to move items. If required, tunnel containers can be divided into two storage units that are secure.
Ease of Loading and Unloading
A well-organized approach can make the difference when it comes to loading shipping containers. It will help protect objects, avoid damage and maximize space. Containers can be filled in different ways depending on what's being stored or shipped. It is possible to stack boxes vertically in order to increase their height. However, it's crucial to secure the boxes with loads-securing materials like straps to tie down or bracing wood. Depending on the kind of container, it may be helpful to fill empty spaces with dunnage bags or inflatable airbags to stop any movement during transport.
When you're packing your cargo for a cross-country move or an international shipment, a proper organization will ensure that your goods arrive in good condition and on time.

If you're seeking a container for shipping with dual entry points, then you might want to consider a tunnel-container. These containers are designed with doors on both sides, so that you can unload cargo from either side without having to do it all at once.

When the container arrives at its destination, you'll employ forklifts or cranes to remove it. The location where it's to be offloaded should be clear of any other heavy vehicles and away from crowds. It's also important to make sure that you have the necessary equipment to offload the container, such as cranes or a flatbed trailer.
It's a good idea examine the vehicle after you've empty it. Check for signs of wear and tear, such as corrosion on the chassis as well as damage to the doors and handles. Make sure that the doors can be closed and opened easily and are securely in place. You should also examine the interior for moisture or water damage that could affect your cargo.
Accessibility
Shipping containers can be a hassle to get to and from the point of delivery. This can be a huge problem for truckers who are trying to meet deadlines or finish the job. We could reduce costs and time by building tunnels constructed of shipping containers along the routes that truckers use frequently.
This issue can be resolved by using tunnel containers, often referred to as double door containers. These containers are one-trip shipping containers with double cargo doors on each end instead of just the front. This makes it easier to load and unload bulky items or heavy equipment.

Stores
Tunnel containers, also known as double end door shipping containers are a great solution to storage. Double doors at both ends provide easy access to both sides of the shipping container, which is particularly useful when it comes to storing large or bulky items such as furniture. Many self storage companies use these types of containers as they are able to easily divide them into smaller stores by constructing a partition wall which allows them to construct two storage containers that measure 10 feet for the same price of one 20ft tunnel container.
Shipping container tunnels are available in both brand new 'one trip' condition and as used containers that have been refurbished. They are typically constructed from a standard container with the solid end being removed and a set of double doors that are welded to each end (as opposed to a single end).
These shipping containers are faster to load and take less time than side-opening containers. They are great for storage, transport, and even for conversion into mobile offices or living spaces.
They are weatherproof and corrosion-resistant which means you can store your equipment and items without fear in any setting. The ventilation system helps stop the build-up of moisture, keeping your contents safe from condensation. Double doors allow for easy loading and transport of larger items.
Tunnel containers are utilized by a wide range of industries, from construction to retail. They're also a favorite among militaries as they can be quickly moved to temporary sites, such as bases or training grounds. Modifications can be made to the structure, like the addition of a control room, theatre, or other features, to allow for specialized equipment.

It's a creative and fun way to recycle old steel, while being a valuable resource for the local community. They're so popular that a lot of containers remain in place after their journeys are complete, reducing the amount of truck traffic through the city, and reduces pollution.
Conversion
The tunnel container, also referred to as double door shipping containers or one trip 40ft containers, features cargo doors at both ends, instead of just one. This greatly increases their accessibility, and makes loading and unloading more efficient. This is particularly beneficial when storing large items like plant machinery since it avoids the need to reverse the digger from the container.
These containers can be transformed into walkways or tunnels thanks to their double cargo doors at both ends. 20 ft tunnel containers use these containers to create a safe walkway for workers to walk around machinery in the plant, and we have even helped clients to adapt tunnel containers into boiler rooms or water treatment plants.
Another use for tunnel containers is to function as a turnstile, or manually-operated entry checkpoints. This is a great method of directing visitors to security or ticket inspection. It can also be fitted with lighting so that everyone passing through can always be seen.
Tunnel containers are an excellent choice for trade shows and events due to their strength and size. They are easy to transport from one location to the next and can be customized by adding windows, lighting and other features to appear individual and stand out from the crowd.
