Tunnel Containers - How to Load a Shipping Container

tunnel shipping containers containers are shipping containers with double doors on both ends instead of just one side. They are available as new 'one-trip' containers or converted second-hand storage containers.

They are great to store equipment and goods due to the dual access points that allow items to be easily picked up from either end without needing to move them around. Tunnel containers can also be divided in the middle to create two storage units that are secure in the event of need.

Ease of Loading & Unloading

A well-organised approach can make all the difference when it comes to loading a shipping container. It can help protect the items, prevent damage and maximise space. Containers can be filled in various ways based on what's being transported or stored. You can stack boxes vertically in order to increase their height. However, it's important to secure the boxes using loads-securing materials like straps for tie-downs or bracing wood. Filling empty spaces within containers with inflatable airbags or dunnage could be beneficial, depending on the type of container.

When you're packing your cargo for a cross-country move or an international shipment, a well-planned and organized process will ensure that your goods arrive in good condition and on time. Getting your shipping container organized ahead of time will save time and money in the end So, take the time to plan carefully before organising your cargo.

If you're looking for a shipping container that has two entry points you should consider a tunnel container. They are constructed with doors on both sides, to allow you to load cargo from either side without having to do everything at once. This allows for faster loading and unloading, which is great for busy port operations.

This container is ideal for transporting items that aren't able to fit into a standard container. For example timber, construction materials and even wood. With a removable cover and doors on both sides of the container, it is a cost-effective option for shipments that would otherwise be impossible to transport.

Once the shipping container is at its destination, you'll employ forklifts or cranes to unload it. It is recommended that the location where it's being offloaded must be free of other vehicles that are heavy and away from the crowds. You should also ensure that you have the necessary equipment to unload the container. This includes a crane or flatbed.

After you've filled your container, it's a good idea to give your vehicle a thorough inspection before heading off. Check for signs of wear and tear, like corrosion on the chassis as well as damage to the doors and handles. Ensure that the doors can be closed and opened effortlessly and are securely held in the correct position. You'll also want to examine the interior for water damage or moisture that could affect the cargo.

Accessibility

Shipping containers can be a hassle to transport to and from the location. This can be a major problem for truckers who are trying to meet deadlines, or just get the job done efficiently. We could reduce costs and time by creating tunnels constructed of shipping containers along routes that truck drivers use most often.

This problem can be solved by using tunnel containers, often referred to as double door containers. These one trip containers are basically standard shipping containers that have a set of double cargo doors at each end (instead of just the front). This makes them accessible, especially to load or unload bulk items or heavy equipment.

The dual entry ports in tunnel containers also make it difficult to break into. The doors are equipped with an enclosed lockbox that is constructed of steel on the right and overlaps the staple welded on the left. This stops anyone from being able reach into the container simply by opening the door.

Storage

With double doors at both ends, they allow easy access into the containers on both sides without the need to move things around to gain access. This is particularly useful for storing bulky or heavy objects like furniture. These containers are utilized by a variety of self-storage businesses because they are easily divided into smaller stores with the addition of a partition wall. This allows them to create two separate storage units of 10 feet for the cost of one 20ft container.

Shipping container tunnels are available in both brand new 'one trip condition and in used containers that have been refurbished. They are usually built from a standard container, with the solid end being removed and a set of double doors that are welded to each end (as as opposed to a single end).

With double-end access the shipping containers accelerate loading times and reduce time when compared with side-opening containers. They are perfect for storage, transport, and even for conversion into mobile living spaces or offices.

It's a creative and fun way to recycle old steel, while serving as a valuable resource to the local community. They're so popular, in fact, that many of the containers remain on site after their journeys have been completed, reducing the amount of truck traffic through the city, and reducing pollution.
