What Is a Shipping Container Tunnel?
COG Containers or tunnel containers are shipping containers with double doors at each side. When opened, they look like an open tunnel.
They're very popular for storage, and with two access points, it allows for easier rotation of stocks in and out. Portable Space can also weld in steel bulkheads to create 2 separate 10ft storage units from one tunnel container.
Easy Access
A shipping container tunnel is a container for cargo that has double doors on both sides of the container. This nifty feature allows you to unload and load goods. It also allows you to get to items at the back of the container without having to move anything else out of the way.
These containers are ideal for industrial and warehouse environments where quick and easy access to material is important. They are also popular with self storage businesses that often divide tunnel containers to create two distinct storage units. These containers are ideal for storage that is secure, since they have two entrance points. This allows you to rotate and access the items stored in storage.
The containers can be purchased brand new or used, and the majority have a door at one end and standard double doors on the other. The shipping containers are available in 20ft and a 40ft size. We have a wide choice of both in our locations across Florida and Nashville TN.
The majority of our inventory is brand new, one trip containers that are cargo-worthy and in great condition. However there are some used tunnel containers that are in good shape and these can be a great option for those who are on a tight budget. We can also custom order these double door containers to meet your specific requirements.
We've also seen inventive ways to use these containers, including turnstiles. These allow security personnel to inspect individuals as they come and go from the site. This is a great option for construction sites with a lot of workers who come and go throughout the day. It's also a great method to keep track of who is working at the site and what their duties are.
Another fantastic use for these containers is as temporary bridges. These containers are a great alternative to building a bridge, and they cost a fraction as much. They are also eco-friendly since they are made from recycled steel, and can be reused following the event.
Convenient Storage
A convenient storage space is a must, whether you're remodeling a home, cleaning out the clutter, or remodeling your office. Portable storage containers are delivered right to your doorstep, which makes them an easy solution to manage short-term storage needs. Before you choose the container take into consideration your storage requirements and how much space you will need to fit your items. Keep these suggestions in mind will aid you in making the best choice for your long-term or short-term storage.
Convenient Double Door Tunnel Access
The tunnel container is built with double doors at both ends, unlike standard shipping containers that have doors that open from the sides. This makes it easier to access and facilitates a smoother flow when loading/unloading.
This feature is essential for an easy transportation process when you are using the container to transport heavy equipment or vehicles. The tunnel-like design allows for quicker access to the stored items at the back of the container, without the need to remove the contents from both ends.
A tunnel shipping container can be used as self-storage containers as it can be divided down the middle into two separate units. The dual entry points make the container accessible for when you want to rotate your inventory or replenish your shelves.
Tunnel containers are taller than standard containers. This increases storage capacity and makes it easier to access taller items. These containers are constructed from corrosion-resistant Corten Steel, which ensures long-lasting durability. Additionally, they are waterproof and windproof, protecting your belongings from the harsh weather conditions.
The containers are highly versatile and can be used them for any storage or conversion project. For instance, you could transform a tunnel container into a mobile office, a workshop, or even a living space. Additionally, you can customize your tunnel container to fit your specific needs with many different transformation materials.
If you're planning to bury a tunnel container underground, it's important to consult with an expert in container modification before making any structural modifications. The underground structure has to be adequately ventilated and insulate, and proper precautions must be taken to ensure that the container isn't damaged or contaminated by ground moisture. Additionally, the underground structure should be designed to take advantage of the fact that the floor of the shipping container is much thicker than its roof.
Temporary Bridges
The Key Bridge Response Unified Command created the third channel temporarily to allow "commercially important vessels" to travel through. The new channel is a 35-foot deep alternative route through the crash site. It will likely remain open until the mangled steel of the Dali cargo ship is removed.
These types of temporary structures are often found bridging rivers or areas of uneven terrain on construction sites, and they can also be used to reroute road traffic during construction projects. They can be rolled out in a matter of hours, and they are flat-packed for easy transport and storage. Smaller versions can be used by pedestrians to ensure that they are safe crossing construction sites.
These structures can be made bigger to cross rivers or railways, and are even designed for use on highways. They are often utilized to redirect traffic around impassable obstacles or to provide heavy vehicles access to remote oil or mining sites. The bridges are constructed in sections that can be joined together as required, and typically come packed as a set of pre-made components that can be assembled on site.
Certain bridges can be shielded from the smack of large vessels through a raised seafloor, and "fender systems" that protect them from the impact of waves or debris. Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge is an instance. Its tower base is an island of rock that is protected around it.
Double door tunnel containers are a great method for businesses to manage ticket check-ins at events. They can keep people out of direct sunlight and rain as they check-in. These containers can be divided into different zones of security, and are great for festivals, concerts and sports games. They can also be used to temporarily store items to keep equipment and other items away from the elements. They can be used to create more space for a concession stand.
Security
The security of a shipping container is an important security concern. These sturdy structures guard goods from harsh weather and thieves. Containers have strong locking mechanisms but they can be smashed by criminals who are ruthless and have the proper tools. Fortunately, there are many preventative measures and deterrents that can be implemented to safeguard your possessions.
A shipping container, for instance could be equipped with an internal security system such as CCTV that can monitor and track movement within the premises. This is particularly beneficial when you use your container for storage, such as a company or other company that needs to keep track of its inventory. These units can be fitted with alarms that sound if someone tries to gain entry into.
A lock that is impervious to tampering is a different way to deter theft. This type of lock is able to secure a door a container without the need for keys, making it more difficult for criminals to access your belongings.
A floodlight can also be used to deter criminals. It can be activated by any movement within the area of the shipping container. The lights can also function all night long, providing light for any intruders and helping to deter them from the premises.
Another option to increase security is to buy an Tunnel shipping container, also referred to as a double-door container. These are single-trip containers that have the standard double doors on both ends of the container, instead of only on the front. This makes them much more convenient for loading and unloading cargo. This also means you don't have to unload everything when you need to access something in the back of the unit. Businesses and organisations who use their containers to store equipment and machinery such as boiler rooms and machinery stores are fond of tunnel containers. They are also used for temporary bridges and ticket entrances for large events.
