High cube containers are taller than standard shipping containers, giving you extra storage height. Unit Group offers high cube containers that are perfect for storing bulky equipment or materials that require additional space.

If you need extra headroom without compromising on footprint, a high cube container could be the right choice.

Double Door (Tunnel) Containers

Double door containers, also known as tunnel containers, feature doors at both ends. This design makes loading and unloading much faster, as items can be accessed from either side. At Unit Group, we provide tunnel containers to businesses looking for maximum efficiency in handling stock. They are ideal for sites where quick movement of goods is essential. Choosing a double door container also reduces the need for unnecessary handling, helping save time and effort.

These containers simplify loading and unloading, cutting down labour time and improving workflow on busy sites.
