Description
20ft Tunnel Container — Double End Doors, One Trip
A tunnel container has full hinged cargo doors at both ends rather than one. That gives you two things a standard container cannot: drive-through loading, so pallets go in one end and out the other without shuffling, and the option to split the box into two independently secured halves.
The second point is why self-storage operators buy these. Partition the middle and you have two 10 ft stores, each with its own doors, its own locking bars and its own lockbox — two lettable units from one delivery and one footprint.
These are one-trip containers, so the shell has carried cargo exactly once: clean paint, unmarked floor, new seals. Both ends carry twin locking bars and a factory-fitted lockbox as standard, and the unit remains CSC plated to 30 tonnes gross, so it can still be shipped as freight rather than used only as a static store.

Two Openings, Two Lockboxes
The detail that matters on this unit is that both ends are fully specified: hinged double doors, two locking bars per door and a factory-fitted lockbox at each end. That is what makes the self-storage split practical — a dividing bulkhead turns one 20ft box into two independently secured 10ft stores, each with its own full-width opening and its own lockbox. For single-tenant use it simply removes dead space, because nothing ends up buried at an unreachable back wall.
Loading and Handling
- Forklift work. Pallets can be loaded from one end and drawn out from the other, so stock rotation does not mean unloading the whole unit.
- Airflow. Opening both ends creates a genuine draught through the unit, useful when working inside or airing it after loading damp goods.
- Positioning. Forklift pockets on both sides allow repositioning without a crane; just leave door swing clearance at both ends when siting.
- Load capacity. CSC plated to a 30 ton maximum gross weight, on a 28mm marine plywood floor over steel cross members.
Compare Before Ordering
For long loads or a walk-through workshop, the 40ft one-trip tunnel container doubles the run, and the fully fitted 40ft tunnel container mobile workshop arrives with benches, racking and electrics installed. If a single opening is all you need, the standard 20ft one-trip container costs less.
