40-Foot Double Door Container: Maximum Accessibility (Tunnel)
The 40-foot Double Door container (commonly known as a Tunnel Container ) is a unique storage and transportation solution, characterized by a full opening at each end. Unlike the standard container, which has only one pair of doors, the 40' DD model offers pass-through access, revolutionizing the management of goods flow and the layout of storage spaces.
Why choose a 40' Double Door container?
The usefulness of a "Double Door" is not just a matter of opening, it is a lever for operational efficiency for businesses and individuals.
1. Inventory management in FIFO (First In, First Out) mode
Thanks to its two access points, the 40-foot Double Door container allows for First In, First Out (FIFO) loading . You can load your goods from one side and unload them from the other, thus avoiding having to empty the entire container to access items stored at the back.
2. Simplified Loading and Unloading
Bilateral access significantly reduces handling. It is the ideal solution for storing vehicles , long industrial parts , or for creating a secure passage on a construction site (protective tunnel).
3. Modularity and Layout
Its symmetrical structure makes it a perfect base for development projects:
- Self-storage: Creation of separate booths divided by a central partition.
- Workshops: Facilitated natural ventilation and dual access for machines.
- Events: Public access or open stand on both sides.

FAQ: Everything you need to know about the 40-Foot Double Door Container
What is a 40-foot Double Door container?
Answer: A 40-foot Double Door (or DD) container is a standard 12-meter-long shipping container with functional doors at both ends . This configuration, called a "tunnel," allows access to the contents from both sides, facilitating through loading and inventory management.
What are the dimensions of a 40-foot Double Door container?
Answer: The exterior dimensions are identical to a standard 40-footer: 12,19 m long, 2,44 m wide, and 2,59 m high . The usable interior space is approximately 12,03 m long. Cubner also offers this model in a High Cube (HC) version to gain an additional 30 cm of headroom.
What is the difference between a standard container and a Double Door container?
Answer: The main difference lies in access. A standard container has a single wall of doors and a fixed welded floor. The Double Door eliminates this floor to install a second pair of doors , thus eliminating the "hold" effect and allowing for the smooth flow of goods.
Is the Double Door container as secure as a classic model?
Answer: Yes. At Cubner, our Double Door containers are equipped with robust locking bars and weatherstripping on each door. For optimal security, we recommend installing a lock box on both openings to prevent any attempted break-in.
Why use a 40' Double Door container for storage?
Answer: It's ideal for FIFO (First In, First Out) storage . It allows you to load equipment from one side and retrieve it from the other without having to move the entire stock. It's also the preferred solution for storing vehicles or creating secure access routes on industrial sites.
Is it possible to convert a Double Door container?
Answer: Absolutely. Its symmetrical structure facilitates conversion into two-tone workshops, paint tunnels, or self-storage units separated by a removable central partition. Cubner carries out these custom modifications in its workshops.
