Tunnel Containers - How to Load a Shipping Container
Tunnel containers are shipping containers with double doors on both ends instead of one end. They are available in new 'one trip' containers or converted secondhand storage containers.
They are perfect to store equipment and goods due to the dual access points that mean that items can be easily removed from either end without having to move them around. If required tunnel containers can be divided down the middle into two secure storage units.
Ease of Loading & Unloading
When it comes to loading shipping containers, a well-organized method can make all the difference. It will safeguard objects, reduce damage, and make the most of space. Containers can be filled in different ways based on the items being stored or shipped. You can stack boxes vertically in order to maximize their height. However, it is important to secure the boxes using load securing material such as straps to tie down or bracing wood. Filling empty spaces in containers with dunnage or inflatable airbags can be helpful, depending on the kind of airbag you're using.
If you're packing your cargo for an international shipment or for a cross-country move an organized system will ensure that all your items arrive intact and on time. Organising your shipping container ahead of time will save you time and money in the end So, take the time to think through your plans before organizing your cargo.
If you're looking for a shipping container with dual entry points, then you might want to consider a tunnel-container. These containers are specially designed to have doors on both sides, so you can access cargo from either end without having to unload everything simultaneously. This makes it easier to load and unloading, which is great for busy port operations.
This container is ideal for transporting goods that would not fit in the standard container. For example construction materials, timber, and other building materials. With a cover that can be removed and a doors on both sides of the container, it is a cost-effective option for the shipments that are not transportable.
Once the shipping container is at its destination, it will be offloaded with cranes or forklifts. The ideal location for the container to be offloaded is away from other heavy vehicles and away from crowds. It is also important to ensure that you have all the equipment needed to empty the container. This includes a crane or a flatbed.
It's a good idea inspect the vehicle after having emptied it. Examine for signs of wear and tear such as corrosion on the chassis, and also damage to the container doors and handles. Be sure that the doors can open and close easily, and are securely secured. Also, you should check the interior for water or moisture damage that could affect the cargo.
Accessibility
Shipping containers can be a hassle to travel to and from the point of delivery. This can be a major issue for truckers trying to meet deadlines or complete the task in a timely manner. We could cut costs and time by building tunnels constructed of shipping containers along routes that truck drivers travel the most often.
Tunnel containers, also referred to as double door containers, are a great solution to this problem. These containers for one trip are typical shipping containers with double cargo doors at each end instead of just the front. This makes it much easier to load or unload bulky objects or heavy equipment.

Stores
Storage is made simple with tunnel containers, also known as double door shipping containers.

This is particularly useful when it comes to storing bulky or large items such as furniture. Many self storage companies use these containers because they are able to easily split them into smaller stores by constructing partition walls which allows them to construct two separate storage containers of 10 feet for the same price of one 20ft tunnel container.
Shipping tunnels for containers are available in a brand new 'one-trip' condition or as recycled second-hand containers. They are typically constructed from a standard container, with the solid end removed and two doors welded in at each end (as as opposed to a single-ended end).

They are weatherproof and resistant to corrosion, so you can store your equipment and other items in peace in any climate. The ventilation system prevents moisture accumulation and shields your items from condensation. The double-doors also allow for easy access, facilitating the loading and transportation of larger objects.
Tunnel containers are used in a variety of industries, from construction to retail.
