Overview
What is a 40ft high cube double-door tunnel container?
A 40ft high cube double-door tunnel container is a 9’6” tall high cube shipping container designed with doors on both ends. This configuration allows cargo to be loaded from one side and unloaded from the other without moving items inside the container, making container loading and unloading faster and more efficient.
The high cube version provides 1 foot of additional vertical space compared to standard containers. The additional height makes it easier to store stacked pallets, tall equipment, large machinery, or racking systems.
Built from durable Corten steel construction, this container includes reinforced cross-members, marine-grade plywood flooring, secure locking bars, and weather-tight door seals. It serves as a reliable, weatherproof container ideal for shipping, ground storage, and container-modification projects.

Delivery Methods
Best for Level Ground
Tilt Bed Delivery
Our most common delivery method for 20-foot and 40-foot containers. The truck's bed tilts toward the ground and the container slides off the rear, no crane or forklift needed on your end.
Multiple units
Flatbed delivery
A cost-effective option, especially when delivering multiple containers at once. Keep in mind you'll need a forklift or crane on-site to unload, the truck doesn't carry lifting equipment.
For tight spaces
Crane truck delivery
The truck's onboard crane lifts and places the container exactly where you need it over fences, into narrow yards, or onto uneven ground. The best option when access to your site is limited.

Taking a moment to send a big shot out to the Pelican Container Family…. I’m building a shipping container home using 45’ shipping containers. This project started when I purchased 4 boxes from conexwest who sold me (4) 45’ boxes for 6990.00 each (😳) only for 2 of them to be damaged with holes in the structure. They refunded 1 & refused to refund the other. To keep my project from being delayed during the damaged box dispute. I needed a total of 4 boxes to complete the project. I doubled back to conexwest & purchases 2 more boxes @ 6690.00 for 2 with delivery. This purchase was made on 11/23. Conexwest refused to deliver my boxes from purchase date to 9/15/25 only to refund me 9/16/25 after heing contacted by the new station about my order for the purchase made 11/23. I was without a box and came across Pelican Containers… the price I saw was totally fair. I reached out and was contacted by Roselle, she is absolutely perfect to work with. I wasn’t sure at first yet Roselle’s communication is top notch! The delivery was quick! The driver of the box was awesome! The transport team was very cool and flexible. The box showed up just as a used box should some rust… some dents…. Yet WWT for sure Cargo worthy… I’m very thankful and I will ALWAYS USE PELICAN CONTAINERS for my shipping continue purchases!
Roselle thank you and your team & as we shared we will continue this business relationship for the time to come!

Valery was a pleasure to work with! She went above and beyond to locate, secure, and ship a flat rack container that suited our needs. We were on a tight schedule, and her diligence and efforts allowed us to purchase and take delivery of the container in just a few short days. She was a key factor in making our project a success! Thanks again, Valery and Pelican Containers!

We were looking for a unique style of container. The one we originally committed to purchasing was sold before we closed the deal. We ended up with a very nice container that had all the characteristics we required, but had a hinged double door on the side. It worked out nicely and Reniel Villar was true to his word. The 4 rating (still very good) was not a 5 due to timing and circumstance. We wood buy from Pelican again. Also, the logistics company's driver was spectacular.
