A tunnel-container is manufactured from a standard shipping container but has double doors at both ends (double ender). From a standard 20 ft or 40 ft shipping container, the solid end of the container is cut off leaving it open, then a new set of double doors is welded in place creating a two-way access. A 'tunnel' can also be constructed from a high cube container, for clients needing the additional height.
