Tunnel Containers
The most important characteristic of tunnel containers as the name implies is the double doors at the two ends of the container. This greatly improves access, making them ideal for storage and goods handling.
They can also be converted into self-storage units by adding an enclosure. We have assisted customers to utilize them for storage of plant machinery and secure site access with turnstiles.
Dual Access
A tunnel container is an altered version of a standard shipping container with double doors at both ends. Also known as a double end door container' or 'tunnel container' these containers let you access stored items from both ends.
The dual-end access allows cargo to be loaded and unloaded from both sides of the container. This is ideal when you're moving larger or bulkier goods which would otherwise have to be backed in and out of the container.

The most dangerous products, such as explosives, flammable liquids, and organic peroxides require storage at the right temperature. Temperature fluctuations can lead to a variety of issues, including flame and toxic fumes.

These fluctuations can often be difficult to spot, particularly in a busy workday. This is the reason it's vital that container terminals have a system that can provide real-time temperature monitoring for all reefer containers within their facility. This allows personnel the ability to respond quickly in the event of any abnormalities and prevent any risk.

Double doors are found at both ends of the container, which makes it easier to load and unload during transport and storage. They can be used to store large items such as machinery or vehicles.
