Tunnel Shipping Containers for Sale

Tunnel Shipping & Storage Containers for Sale or Hire

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!

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.

We have the following specifications of tunnel containers available:

• 20ft tunnel container
