Shipping Container Tunnel
Shipping container tunnels also referred to as double-end door containers have normal double doors on both sides of the container, which creates a tunnel when it is opened. This makes it easy to access and greatly improves the convenience of loading and unloading cargo.
Tunnel containers are available in new 'one trip' condition and are suitable to complete a variety of storage and conversion projects. Many customers use tunnel containers to build small stores to store their items in a secure manner by dividing the space.
Easy Access
With two standard double doors at both ends tunnel shipping containers give the most convenient access to items stored than a normal container that has only one set of doors. This makes them extremely popular with self storage companies who utilize them to create separate storage areas for various types of items - for example, boxes and tools in one, and furniture or machinery in the other.
Tunnel containers are also ideal for companies that require storage or transportation of large or bulky objects e.g. automobile dealerships, construction firms and manufacturing companies. The dual entry points of tunnel containers ensure that the contents of a tunnel container can be unloaded and loaded in a shorter amount of time than a standard container. This improves efficiency, lowers costs and prevents costly delays.
The dual access points make tunnel containers extremely useful for loading and unloading heavy items that are too large to fit through a single door e.g. furniture, heavy machinery and vehicles. They can accommodate hand dollys and forklift ramps which are extremely useful when working in a busy working environment.
Since they are made of weatherproof steel, tunnel containers can be utilized in a variety of outdoor locations. For instance many of our clients use tunnel containers to keep their employees and guests out of the rain and wind when security checks are conducted at large events like festivals and concerts. Two tunnel containers set from side-to-side can keep dozens of people from the elements whilst they wait to be checked into.
Recently, we renovated two tunnel containers into a cozy gift shop to a railway heritage site. With the help of PIR insulation and heaters the tunnel for shipping containers was equipped with lighting and double sockets to allow for year-round use. The customers were so pleased with the results that they have since ordered another container from us to make an even bigger and better shop!

Easy Storage
One of the most significant advantages of a shipping container tunnel is that it is easy to store cargo inside. In contrast to a standard container which requires you to take it off everything to access the rear tunnel containers permit you to open either end of the box to store your items. This makes it easier to manage inventory and saves time when loading and unloading.
Tunnel containers also come with double doors standard on both walls, which makes them ideal for storage of cargo. This feature can also help keep pests from your storage, which is crucial for those who plan to store hazardous chemicals or perishable products.
Tunnel containers are ideal for self-storage units because of their dual entry points. A shipping container can be divided into two separate storage spaces of 10 feet by creating an internal partition. This is ideal for businesses who need to rotate their stock without the hassle of unloading from both ends. Tunnel containers are also utilized by many of our customers as 'passageways' at music festivals and events that help funnel crowds through a specific space or gap.
The versatility of the shipping container tunnel is what makes it an efficient solution for wide range of applications. They can be used as portable warehouses, workshops, offices, and more. Storage is made easy by the double-end access and weatherproof seals as well as the ability to store the container.
Shipping containers are made from corrosion-resistant Corten Steel which means they are able to endure extreme environments and frequent transport. COG Containers LTD can also withstand high winds, and if they're covered, will shield your items from rain, snow and dust.
The insulated walls and roof of the tunnels of shipping containers help to protect the stored goods as well as keeping temperatures stable. This is particularly important for perishable items or chemicals that can be affected by extremes in temperature. Shipping containers can also keep dust and moisture out, which will increase the longevity of your stored items.
Easy Loading and Unloading
When loading cargo into the tunnels of shipping containers, it's important to stack items vertically whenever feasible and secure them in place with straps or load bars. It is crucial to stack the containers vertically so they won't shift and cause damage when the containers are transported via railway or sea. It is a good idea to place heavier items at bottom of container and lighter ones on top. It is also important to keep flammable items from other items as well as anything that could be affected by liquids, for example chemicals.
Double doors at each end of a tunnel container make it easier to access items that are located in the middle, which the standard shipping container might be difficult. Tunnel containers are great for storage of inventory, both for commercial and personal use. They are also utilized by a variety of self-storage companies that divide the containers in half to create two smaller stores, allowing them access from both sides (where a standard container would only have one entry point).
In addition to the dual door access tunnel containers can be modified just as easily as other types of container for shipping. This means that you can add windows and lighting, depending on your requirements. They can be converted into retail, office or workshop spaces.
If you're in the market for a tunnel for your shipping container or any other storage solution, it is important to conduct a thorough inspection prior to buying. This includes ensuring that the container is in a good and dry condition and free of holes, tears or scratches. Examine the corner posts for damage and make sure all locking mechanisms are in good shape. You'll need to make sure that the container is equipped with an active CSC plate, and is able to be loaded for international transport.

They're also a preferred option for container home conversions because they are able to be easily adapted to include doors, windows as well as interior walls that divide the outdoor spaces.
The unique characteristics of the tunnel shipping container make it a great option to create a unique and distinctive home. Depending on your budget you can add different features to create a unique and comfortable living space. From doors, windows, and terraces to electricity and plumbing and more, you can turn your new home into a distinctive and practical artwork that stands apart from the traditional homes.
Before you begin the process of building your tunnel container home it is essential to keep in mind that the process of renovating and changing the shape of a shipping container is more than just putting up walls. You must consider a range of factors, including hiring an expert in shipping container conversions.
The shipping container you choose should be the same size as other shipping container that you intend to connect. Otherwise, there's a chance of structural problems in the event that the containers aren't arranged properly. It's also important to choose a container that's in good shape, as older containers can be vulnerable to rust and other damage during transit and storage.
Before purchasing a tunnel shipping container, you must think about what you intend to use it for. For instance, if you're using it to create a warehouse, it may be best to purchase a large cube container that is large enough to hold plenty of extra room. This will give you more space to move around and store items, as well as making it easier to connect several shipping containers together if necessary.
