40ft Tunnel Container (One-Trip New, Double Doors Each End)
The 40ft Tunnel Container (Double-End Door Shipping Container) is a specialized intermodal container featuring full-opening double doors at both ends. Also known as a "Tunnel Container," this layout eliminates the "first-in, last-out" loading limitation of standard single-door containers, providing dual-sided access to load, unload, or inspect equipment and inventory from either direction.
Delivered in One-Trip New condition (having carried a single cargo load from the factory overseas to minimize transit costs), this container is in pristine structural and cosmetic shape. Constructed from high-strength Corten steel, it comes factory-equipped with high-security weld-on lockboxes on both door sets, heavy-duty door gaskets, multiple air vents, and 28mm marine-grade plywood flooring. The dual-door architecture makes it a top choice for commercial job sites, self-storage operators, partitioned storage units, and custom architecture projects requiring walk-through capability.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
1. Dual-End Access & Tunnel Architecture
Double Doors at Both Ends: Full-sized ISO swinging double doors on both front and rear header frames for effortless, two-way access.
No Trapped Cargo: Easily retrieve items stored in the middle or back without unloading the entire container.
Ideal for Partitioning: Perfect for dividing down the middle into two separate 20ft secure storage compartments with independent private entries.
2. One-Trip New Quality & Security Build
Cor-Ten Anti-Corrosive Steel: Heavy-gauge corrugated steel sides, roof panels, and corner posts designed for decades of exposure.
Dual Security Lockboxes: Factory-installed steel lockboxes on both door sets to shield padlocks against bolt cutters and tampering.
Weatherproof & Sealed: Multi-lip EPDM rubber door gaskets, high-level air vents to prevent condensation ("container rain"), and sealed 28mm marine plywood floors.
