What Are Tunnel Containers?

But what is a tunnel container? Simply, it’s a shipping container unit that’s been built with a full set of doors at both ends.

The name comes from the ‘tunnel’ that’s created when both sets of doors are open. The double doors allow loading and unloading from both ends of the unit, and 40ft, 20ft and 10ft tunnel containers are the most popular sizes for a range of applications.

ModCon offers both new and refurbished tunnel containers, with optional custom features, partitions and full container conversions to suit your usage intent, sector and budget.

Advantages of Using a Tunnel Shipping Container

Tunnel containers are a popular and practical solution for many different uses, including faster stock rotation and flexibility in loading and unloading goods at warehouses.

By adding a wall in the middle, they can be used by self-storage companies as two separate units, and they make great secure entrances to large outdoor sites like festivals.

Shipping containers are inherently very strong and weather-resistant, making them suitable for demanding environments like construction sites or rural locations.

They’re easy to transport and position too, and the expert engineers at ModCon can customise your unit with lighting, insulation, shelving and many other upgrades.

Use Cases for Tunnel-Tainers

Storage and Logistics: The dual-door design allows for a seamless "first-in, first-out" stock rotation system.

ModCon can fit out your tunnel container with partitions and shelving, making it a highly efficient and organised unit for managing inventory and simplifying access to your goods, whatever the nature of your business.

Construction Site Shelters: These robust and secure structures make tunnel shipping containers an ideal solution for many purposes around construction sites.

They can be converted into weatherproof walkways or as secure passages for workers, and fitted out with ModCon’s signature anti-vandal features for total peace of mind.

 Pop-Up Retail and Event Tunnels: The unique and robust look of tunnel containers offers an eye-catching solution for pop-up shops and retail locations.

ModCon’s expert team can fully convert your unit into a branded exhibition tunnel or event entrance too, complete with custom lighting, flooring and a bespoke interior fit-out.
