Dual Access

Temperature-Sensitive Goods

The storage of the most dangerous items such as explosives or liquids that ignite is best stored at temperatures that are optimal. Any fluctuations in temperature can alter their stability, and lead to a fire or release toxic fumes. When storing temperature-sensitive hazardous goods, it's essential that container terminal facilities are equipped with the appropriate monitoring equipment to track and identify any anomalies or deviations from set temperatures.

These fluctuations can often be difficult to identify, particularly during the busy hours of a day. This is the reason it's vital that container terminals utilize a system that can provide real-time temperature monitoring across all reefer containers within their facility. This allows staff to react swiftly to any issues, preventing any potential risks.

Tunnel containers are a practical option when it comes to transporting and storing temperature-sensitive goods. Double doors are situated at both ends of the container, which makes it easier to load and unload during transport and storage. They can be used to store large objects such as machinery or vehicles.

The solid end is removed, and a new set of double doors are welded in place, allowing two-way access. These modified containers are commonly used on construction locations where heavy machinery needs to be able to pass over and under.

Some container terminals even convert their tunnel shipping container tunnel containers to function as a secure entrance to the site with a turnstile, or a manually-operated security checkpoints as visitors go through. Although these conversions aren't offered in a standard size however, they can be customized to meet specific requirements and are extremely cost-effective as compared to the construction of an entire facility from scratch.
