A 40ft standard tunnel double-door shipping container is a specialized steel container designed with double doors on both ends. This tunnel-container design allows straight-through access from one side to the other, making loading and unloading faster and more efficient.
Unlike standard containers with only rear doors, this model allows cargo to be loaded from either end without moving other items inside. This makes it a practical solution for warehouses, construction projects, logistics operations, or as a storage container where goods need to be accessed quickly.
The cargo container is built from corrosion-resistant Corten steel, reinforced with structural cross-members and fitted with marine-grade plywood flooring. Both door sets are equipped with heavy-duty locking bars and weather-resistant rubber seals to protect the cargo from moisture, dust, and external damage.

Pelican Containers provides nationwide delivery within 2–5 business days, depending on location and container availability.
Our available delivery methods include tilt-bed delivery, where the container slides off the truck directly onto the ground. This method is ideal for most residential and commercial locations with open space. We also offer flatbed delivery, where the container arrives on a flatbed truck and requires a forklift or crane on-site for unloading.
To ensure a smooth shipping container delivery, your site should have:
A clear access path at least 12–14 ft wide
Level, stable ground for container placement
No overhead obstructions such as power lines or tree branches
Enough space for the truck to maneuver during unloading
Our drivers provide a 30-minute call-ahead before arrival so you can prepare the site for delivery. Our team remains in touch with you throughout the container buying and delivery process to help you plan.

Please note that the warranty does not cover normal cosmetic wear, such as minor dents, paint fading, or surface rust that may appear over time. Damage caused by misuse, heavy impacts, or unauthorized structural modifications is also excluded.
Each container is inspected before delivery. This ensures the container you receive is structurally sound, weather-resistant, and ready for immediate use.
