Shipping container tunnels, also called double-end doors, are standard double-doors on both ends of containers. When opened they form a tunnel. This facilitates easy access and greatly improves the ease of loading and unloading cargo.
Tunnel containers are now available in a 'one trip' condition and can be used to complete a variety of conversion and storage projects. Many customers utilize tunnel containers to build small stores to store their items in a secure manner by dividing them down the middle.

For instance many of our clients use them to keep their staff and guests safe from wind and rain during security checks at big events such as concerts and festivals. Two tunnel containers laid end-to-end can keep a large number of people safe from the elements while they wait to be scanned or checked for entry.
Recently, we transformed two tunnel containers into an inviting gift shop for a railway heritage site. The shipping container tunnel was fitted with double sockets and lighting to allow year-round usage, using PIR insulation and heaters. The client was so pleased with the results, that they ordered a second container to create a bigger shop!
