Tunnel Containers for Easy Access Storage

Looking for a tunnel shipping container with flexible dual access? At S Jones, we supply and convert high-quality tunnel containers, also known as double door containers, for sale across Great Britain.

Designed with cargo doors at both ends, these versatile units allow fast, efficient loading and unloading.

Why Choose a tunnel Container?

With doors at both ends, tunnel containers allow fast loading and unloading, enabling forklifts to drive through or goods to be accessed without delay.

This improves site efficiency, particularly where workers need frequent access to tools, machinery or stock.

Their dual-entry design also supports flexible storage layouts, so items can be organised and retrieved quickly. Built from durable Corten steel, tunnel containers are secure, weatherproof, and designed to withstand heavy use and UK weather conditions.

FAQs

What is a tunnel container?

A tunnel container, also called a double door container, is a shipping container fitted with doors at both ends. This allows easy loading and unloading from the front and rear, making it ideal for sites where quick or frequent access is required.

What sizes do tunnel containers come in?

Tunnel containers are most commonly available in 20ft and 40ft sizes. Both options provide secure, weatherproof storage and can be supplied as new (one-trip) or used units, depending on your budget and requirements.

What are tunnel containers used for?

These containers are widely used across industries such as construction, logistics, retail, events, and manufacturing. They are particularly useful for storing tools, equipment, and stock that needs to be accessed regularly without unloading the entire container.

Are tunnel containers secure?

Yes, tunnel containers are built from strong Corten steel and can be fitted with additional lockboxes, padlocks, and security features to protect your goods. They are also designed to withstand harsh UK weather conditions.

Can tunnel containers be customised?

Absolutely. We offer a wide range of container modifications, including electrics, insulation, lighting, shelving, and custom paintwork, so your tunnel container can be adapted for specific site needs.
