Easy Access
Tunnel shipping containers come with two double doors at each side, making it easier to access items stored than a container with only one set of doors. This makes them extremely popular with self storage companies who use them to create separate storage areas for different kinds of items, for example, boxes and tools in one area and furniture or machinery in the other.
