Dual Access

Tunnel containers are modified version of standard shipping containers that have double doors on both ends. These containers are also known as a "double end door container" or a "tunnel-shaped container". They provide access to the stored items on both ends.

The dual-end access allows cargo to be loaded and unloaded from both sides of the container, which is ideal for transporting heavier or bulkier items that otherwise would need to be backed into and out of the container. Double-end access eliminates the requirement to empty the entire container to access the items that are buried inside, which saves time and reducing the risk of damage.

Temperature-Sensitive Goods

The most dangerous products like explosives, flammable liquids, and organic peroxides, must be stored at optimal temperatures. Temperature fluctuations can cause many issues, including fire and toxic fumes. When storing temperature-sensitive hazardous goods, it's essential that container terminal facilities are equipped with the appropriate monitoring equipment to track and identify any anomalies or deviations from set temperatures.

Sometimes these fluctuations can be difficult to spot, especially in the middle of a busy day. Container terminals must use a system to monitor the temperature of all reefer containers in their facility. This allows personnel to react promptly to any anomalies and avoid any risk.

Some container terminals convert their tunnel shipping containers into secure entrances for their site with a turnstile installed as people pass through. Although these conversions aren't offered in standard sizes, they can be easily made to meet the specific needs of the customer and are highly cost effective as compared to the construction of an entire facility from scratch.
