Tunnel Containers - How to Load a Shipping Container

Tunnel containers are shipping containers that have double doors on both sides rather than one end. They are available in new 'one trip' containers or converted secondhand storage containers.

They are great to store equipment and goods due to the dual access points that allow items to be easily removed from either end without needing to move them around. Tunnel containers can also be partitioned across the middle to create two storage units that are secure if required.

Ease of Loading & Unloading

When it comes to loading shipping containers, a well-organised approach can make all the difference. It can help protect the items from damage and maximize space. Containers can be filled in a variety of ways based on what's being transported or stored. For example, you may stack boxes vertically to maximize their height, however it is essential to secure them in place with load securing materials like tie-down straps or bracing plywood.
