Easy loading and unloading
If you're shipping items or using a container for storage, it's important to make sure your cargo is secured properly. In the absence of proper security, you could cause damage to your possessions and the possibility of your shipment falling in transit.

These containers are often called refrigerated ISO containers or reefer containers. They can be used in a variety of ways including cold storage and fresh food distribution.
Enhanced Security
Security is paramount when it comes to the storage of sensitive or important items. While shipping containers are highly secured by design, there are many additional features that can be put in place to increase security. These modifications include steel window bars, alarm systems and cameras for surveillance. These options can be put in both inside and outside the container, making it more difficult for anyone who is not authorized to gain access.
A tunnel container can also be fitted with an additional high-security lock. The lock locks the door and stops anyone who is not authorized from opening the door. The lock can also be secured by a locking box which further increases security by stopping tampering. A crossbar lock system may be added to the lock, which extends across the doors of the container, making it more difficult to pry them open.
