New & Used Double-Door (Tunnel) Containers For Sale

Double-door shipping containers, also known as Tunnel Containers, are shipping containers with doors on both ends acting like a tunnel with an entry and exit point. They are commonly used on construction sites and for projects that require loading from both ends. With doors at both the front and back, this container provides easy access to store, retrieve, and organize goods or materials. With some modifications (e.g. adding a partition), these containers can be used to create separate storage spaces or container offices, or even to establish a pair of retail kiosks.

  • I would definitely use Boxhub again. Ordering was easy and delivered on the date specified. The delivery driver Dave was awesome. I ordered a 40 foot container. It took sometime but he got it in place. Definitely a two thumbs up . If you need a container just remember. There are a lot of scams out there. They take your money and don't ever deliver. Boxhub maybe a couple hundred more. To me it was worth it not to have a headache. Thanks Boxhub !!!

  • We are very pleased with our BoxHub experience. The process was easy, and setting up delivery was a breeze. We worked with Steven J at BoxHub, Elizabeth set up delivery and Leon was our delivery driver. Everything went smoothly and the containers are exactly what Steven said they would be. Elizabeth gave us Leon's name when scheduling and he called us the evening before hand as promised. Leon maneuvered his truck on our challenging driveway/hill with grace and a smile, then dropped the containers exactly where we needed them. Thank you for doing as you say you will.
