Can Double Door containers be customised?

Yes, double door containers can be customised to meet specific needs. Customisations may include: Lockboxes: For added security. Roller doors: For easier access. Shelving or racking: To organise contents. Ventilation systems: To maintain airflow.

What are the benefits of using a Double Door Container?

Some of the many benefits of using a double door container include: Increased accessibility: Allows loading and unloading from both ends, improving efficiency and flexibility. Time-saving: Saves time when accessing the container, especially in busy environments. Space-saving: Can be placed in areas with limited access, as either door can be used without repositioning the container. Versatility: Ideal for businesses requiring frequent access or rotating stock.

When should I consider a Double Door Container instead of a standard one?

While a standard single door container has doors at one end only—making access limited to that side—a double door container opens at both ends, offering far more flexibility. You should consider a double door container if you need quicker access to items, plan to store long or bulky goods, or want the option to load and unload from either end. They’re ideal for improving workflow in busy environments, or when storing goods that are frequently moved, whereas single door containers are better suited to long-term storage where regular access isn’t required.

Are Double Door Shipping Containers less secure?

Double door containers from Container Traders offer the same heavy-duty security as a Standard Container. They are built with robust Corten steel and are wind and water tight. Lock boxes can be added on both doors for added security.

Are there Used Double Door Shipping Containers?

Double Door Shipping Containers are often ordered for specific purposes rather than general freight, so they are almost always bought new. Because the Standard 20ft Shipping Container is the standard for international freight, Double Door Shipping Containers are considered specialised equipment and rarely appear on the used market. When someone does own one, it is usually because they need it for a specific task, meaning they tend to hold onto them. Most Double Door Containers we provide at Container Traders are New Build Containers to ensure you get the functionality you need without the long wait for rare used stock.

Is it worth buying a Double Door Shipping Container?

We definitely think it is worth the investment if it’s in your budget. You can access items at the rear without having to empty out the entire contents of the Shipping Container. They are an affordable and highly practical upgrade that saves you a lot of time.

What is a Double Door Shipping Container?

A Double Door Shipping Container (tunnel container) features double doors on both ends rather than just one. This design is perfect for drive-through loading and easier inventory access. At Container Traders, we offer a large range of 20ft and 40ft sizes.

Customer Reviews

“It is a bit of a minefield buying a container. I did my research and the guys at Container Traders Pty Ltd came out on top. Excellent communication, safe payment and my container arrived yesterday. It was seamless! I would highly recommend. Thanks Sam and Lachlan.”

Paula M.
Great service throughout the process from enquiry, purchase and delivery. Easy to deal with, competitive pricing and skilled cheery operators. Made our move across Australia easier than anticipated and now we have a good storage unit.

K.S
“We were very happy with all our dealings with Sam from Container Traders. He was extremely patient and very easy to work with. The container was just as he described. The delivery was very smooth and we were very happy with the whole process!“

Christine S.
“We needed a 40ft container quickly for my business, Fork Force Australia. Right from my initial contact the entire transaction was seamless and smooth. Nick was in contact almost straight away and made everything run great. They even delivered our container earlier than expected. I would highly recommend these guys.”

Steve D.
Amy was fantastic. She was able to assist with all my questions, and I was very happy with the quoted price. Very fast delivery, they even delivered it from Sydney to Canberra on the same day I paid for it! If you’re lucky enough to get Amy, you won’t be disappointed. Container Traders was by far the best place I tried, unlike the other companies.
