Tunnel containers can be purchased in a "one-trip" condition that can be used for a variety of storage or conversion projects. They are utilized by a variety of clients to create small safe storage spaces, simply by partitioning the middle.
Easy Access
Tunnel shipping containers have two double doors on each side making it much easier to access items stored than a container with only one set of doors. Self-storage companies appreciate them due to the fact that they can be used to create storage areas for various items. For example boxes and tools are stored in one section while furniture and equipment are kept in another.
Tunnel containers are great for businesses that need to store bulky or large objects, e.g. automobile dealerships, construction firms and manufacturing firms. The dual entry points of tunnel containers mean that the contents of a tunnel container may be loaded and unloaded in a shorter amount of time than a standard container. This increases productivity, reduces costs and prevents costly delays.
Dual access points make tunnel containers useful for loading and taking away large objects, which are too large to fit in one door. Furniture, heavy machinery and cars. They can accommodate forklift ramps and hand dollys, which are very useful when working in a crowded setting.
Tunnel containers are weatherproof and can be used outdoors in a variety of different places. For example our customers use tunnel containers to keep their employees and guests out of the rain and wind when security checks are conducted at large events such as festivals and concerts. Two tunnel containers arranged between each other can keep dozens safe of the rain and wind while they wait for their turn to be scanned or checked in.
Recently, we renovated two tunnel containers into a cozy gift shop for an historic railway site.

Easy Storage
The capacity to store cargo inside containers for shipping is among the most important advantages of tunnels. In contrast to a standard container which requires you unload everything to access the rear, tunnel containers allow the possibility of opening either end of the box for storage. This helps you manage inventory and saves time when loading or unloading.
Tunnel containers also come with standard double doors on both walls, making them ideal for storage of cargo. This feature will also keep the pests out of your storage space. This is important when you're storing perishable items or hazardous chemicals.
Because of their dual entry points, tunnel containers are also ideal for conversion into self storage units. By simply putting an internal partition through the middle of a shipping container can create two separate 10ft storage spaces, which is perfect for businesses that need to move their stock around without having to unload everything from both ends. Many of our customers use tunnel containers to serve as 'passages' at music festivals and other events that allow them to funnel crowds into specific areas.
The flexibility of a shipping container tunnel is what makes it efficient for a variety of applications. They can be transformed into anything from portable offices to workshops, warehouses and much more. Storage is made simpler with the double-end access system seals, weatherproof seals, and the capacity to store the container.

This is particularly crucial for perishable goods or chemicals that can be affected by extreme temperature fluctuations. Shipping containers can keep dust and moisture out as well which can significantly increase the longevity of your stored goods.
Easy Loading and Unloading
When loading cargo into the tunnels of shipping containers, it's important to stack items vertically where feasible and secure them with straps or load bars.

It's a good idea also to place heavier items at the bottom of container and lighter items at the top. Keep flammables out of other objects, and also any items that could be contaminated with liquids.
The double doors at both ends of a tunnel container allow easy access to items in the middle of the container, which is where you may have difficulty with a standard shipping container. Tunnel containers are ideal for storing both personal and business inventory. Many self-storage companies use these containers too. They break them into half to create two smaller stores and provide them easy access on both sides.
In addition to the dual door access of tunnel containers, they can be modified as easily as any other type of shipping container. You can also include windows and lighting according to what you require. They can also be transformed into offices, workshops or retail spaces.

However, before you start building your home in a tunnel it's important to understand that the process of remodeling and converting the inside of a shipping container isn't quite as simple as simply putting up some walls. There are a number of different steps that you should consider such as hiring a professional in construction who is specialized in shipping container conversions.
Choosing the right shipping container is an additional process, as it has to be the same size as the other container you're planning to connect. In the event of a mismatch, you could face structural problems in the event that the containers aren't lined up correctly. It's also essential to select containers that are in good shape, as older containers can be vulnerable to rust and other damage during storage and transport.
It's also worth assessing the purpose you intend to use the tunnel shipping container for prior to purchasing it.
