Shipping Container Tunnel
Shipping container tunnels commonly referred to as double door containers, come with standard double doors at both sides of the container, which effectively creates a tunnel once opened. This makes it easy to access and greatly enhances the ease of loading and unloading cargo.
Tunnel containers are now available in a 'one trip' condition and are suitable for a range of conversion and storage projects. Many clients use tunnel containers to create small storage units for safe storage by dividing the space.
