TUNNEL SHIPPING CONTAINERS
Tunnel containers, otherwise known as Tunneltainers / double door containers / Double End Door Containers, make loading and un-loading really easy! If you are loading by forklift, this unit type can prevent you having to enter the container. However, the key benefit to a tunnel container is that the doors on both ends mean that you do not have to unload all of the cargo from the container to access the stored items at the other end!
EASY ACCESS CONTAINERS
Tunnel containers are equipped with two sets of cargo doors; one set at the front and one set at the end. The easy access provided by two sets of cargo doors makes this container type ideal for storing palletised equipment, bulky items and for easily managing stock flow. One of the things we often hear about 40ft containers is that it can be difficult to access items at the back of the unit. Tunnel containers eradicate this problem completely with their dual access points. Tunneltainers are often used as temporary bridges during construction and are commonly used on self-storage sites with a fitted steel bulkhead to split the unit into two 20ft containers, or to use as large multi-stores.
CERTIFIED CONTAINERS
Tunnel containers, like all other standard shipping containers, are manufactured in China using COR-TEN steel with 28mm marine ply wood flooring set on steel cross members. They are certified to meet ISO regulations and are CSC plated*. The units hold 4 vents, two forklift pockets and each door leaf is fitted with two steel locking bars. The cargo doors are also fitted with a steel lockbox for extra security**.
* Please let us know if you are shipping the container to ensure the validity of the CSC plate is sufficient for the unit’s onward journey.
** Specifications may vary depending on manufacturer. Please ask for further details.
