Our shipping container tunnels allow access to stored goods from both ends, so you can get the supplies you need without unloading the entire container. These tunnel containers for rent and sale are not only a storage unit, but also a throughput solution that helps solve access and workflow challenges.
The primary benefit of a tunnel container is the ability to move freely through your storage instead of being limited to a single entry point. You can access what you need from either end using the double doors.
Item Security: The steel build and 13-pound Eagle Lock® help secure cargo from weather, damage, and theft. Contents insurance and damage waiver options are available for additional protection.
Easy Access: The double doors allow straightforward access from either side.
Dolly and Forklift Ramp Compatibility: These containers support dolly and forklift ramp entry, making it easier to move heavy and bulky items in and out.
Organized Storage: Pipe racks, shelving, and other optional storage solutions can customize the interior and streamline your storage space.
These drive-through containers have many use cases.
Construction: Logistics and construction teams can move goods through the container and load cargo without unloading other stored items.
Retail: Both-ends-open containers support retail stores and distribution businesses that need organized storage with fast access from either end.
Walkways: A tunnel container can also serve as a covered walkway or temporary passageway between structures. Personnel can walk through the container while staying protected from dust, debris, and adverse weather.
The double door container is more than a standard storage container with doors. It is a flexible workflow tool that offers better access and organization.
Double-Sided Access: These containers have doors on both ends, making it possible to enter from either side or use the container as a temporary covered walkway.
Durable Construction: The all-steel exterior and marine plywood flooring offer strong protection for stored cargo.
Weather-Resistant Design: The double door container is sealed to help protect the interior from snow, rain, dust, and other environmental elements.
Customizable Organization: Tunnel containers can include options such as open sides, roll-up doors, personnel doors, and interior partitions to support your access and storage needs.

No. Our 40′ containers are delivered on a tilt-bed trailer, which is too large for tight residential streets and driveways.
We don’t transport loaded containers. Any container moved by our trucks has to be empty. If you need to relocate a loaded container, you’ll need to empty it before we pick it up — or arrange separate specialty transport.
Every container has a place for you to attach your own padlock. You can use any commercial padlock, but we strongly recommend our 13-pound heavy-duty Eagle Locks for serious protection. Standard padlocks are easy targets. A proper container lock makes a real difference in whether your contents stay where you put them.
Not required, but we strongly recommend it. Having someone on site means you can point the driver to the exact placement spot, confirm door orientation, and flag any access issues before the container is set. If you can’t be there, leave clear written instructions and mark the placement area.
Built to ISO shipping standards using 14-gauge corten steel panels, welded steel framing, marine-grade plywood floors, and heavy-duty cam-locking cargo doors with rubber gaskets. Corten is a weathering steel that resists rust. Every unit is inspected before delivery to make sure it’s wind and watertight.
A ground-level storage container has two doors at one end with four vertical locking rods running top to bottom. To open: raise the latch above the handle on the right-side door, then rotate the handle to swing the locking rods free. Pull the right door open first, then the left. Closing is the same steps in reverse.
On a tiltbed or Landoll trailer. The driver backs into position, tilts or slides the container onto the ground, and sets it in place. The whole thing usually takes 15 to 30 minutes on a prepared site. No crane needed.
Beyond the container footprint itself, you need maneuvering room for the delivery truck. A 20 foot delivery typically needs about 100 feet of straight, level approach. A 40 foot needs about 120 feet. Overhead clearance of 14 feet or more is required. If your site is tight, send photos to your sales rep and we’ll assess feasibility before delivery day. Our delivery page walks through site prep step by step.
A standard 20 foot container measures roughly 19’4″ long x 7’8″ wide x 7’10” tall on the inside — about 1,170 cubic feet of usable storage. Enough room for the contents of a two- to three-bedroom home, or a serious amount of commercial inventory or tools.
A standard 40 foot container measures roughly 39’5″ long x 7’8″ wide x 7’10” tall on the inside — about 2,390 cubic feet of usable storage. A 40 foot high cube adds another foot of height, bringing total capacity to about 2,694 cubic feet.
A storage container sits at ground level, is made of steel, and is built for long-term on-site storage. A storage trailer sits at dock height on wheels, has a wood floor, and is built for loading and unloading with a forklift or pallet jack at a dock. Containers are the right pick for secure ground-level storage — available across our full branch network. Trailers are the right pick when dock access matters — stocked at select branches based on regional demand.
