40ft Tunnel Shipping Containers
40ft Tunnel Repainted and Fitted with Roller Shutter
Overview
A 40ft tunnel container gives you a full-length storage or conversion space with the benefit of access at both ends.
The dual access layout saves time on stock handling, equipment loading, and working across separate areas inside the container. Built from high-strength Corten steel, all 40ft tunnel containers are fitted with two sets of cargo doors, lock boxes, marine ply flooring, and full weatherproofing. Available in standard height, these units are a practical solution for bulk storage, event logistics, split-use conversions, or walkthrough screening setups.
With almost double the internal volume of a 20ft unit, a 40ft tunnel container is ideal for projects that need to store larger items, split internal layouts, or create public-facing spaces with secure zones.

FAQ
Yes, the extended internal space makes it ideal for fit-outs like combined office/storage units, or multi-purpose on-site setups.
Absolutely. Both sets of cargo doors function independently, allowing you to load from either end. This setup is particularly useful for long stock items or volume-heavy goods.
You’ll need suitable space for a 40ft container plus vehicle access. Allow around 25m in length for delivery and 3–4m of clearance at both ends for full door access. We’ll confirm delivery requirements when you enquire.
Unmodified 40ft tunnel containers are available for both hire and sale. For any conversion work, such as partitioning or internal fit-outs purchase is required.
