Tunnel Bags

Tunnel Bags: Rapid, Safe, Single-Operator Handling for Forklift Efficiency

The Tunnel Bag is a specialist FIBC meant to radically simplify the handling and loading process and make it much quicker and safer for the forklift operator. Rather than using the traditional four-loop system, the Tunnel Bag has two parallel tunnels, which are made of heavy-duty fabric and built into the base system. The special design of this type of forklift enables the bag to be firmly seated on the two tines and to be firmly seated in the tines within a short time without having to position any of these loops manually, and allows this one to be handled very efficiently after installing the tines on its two tines and the handling to be done by only one operator.

Engineering for Expedited Logistics: The Tunnel Mechanism

The main benefit of the Tunnel Bag is that the continuous design of the bag is simple to use and accelerates the transfer process without compromising the structural integrity of the bag.

Superior Barrier and Durability

High-Definition Graphics

The quality of printing is the key difference maker. BOPP film is compatible with Reverse Rotogravure Printing (printing on the reverse side of the film) with as many as 8 or 10 colors in a photographic, high-definition finish. This degree of graphic quality can not be attained on normal woven fabric. It allows branding intricacy, expressive logos, specifications, and a high-impact retail presence, and it will make the Jumbo Bag more than a container: it will be a marketing tool.

Single-Operator Handling

The overall functional advantage is that only one forklift operator can enter the tunnels, grab the bag, and move it without the operator leaving the cab and without any assistance to get the loops to the right place. This feature is essential to high-throughput logistics centers, eliminating the cost of labor and dramatically accelerating the speed of the loading and unloading processes. This becomes particularly beneficial to Single-Trip FIBC Bags, where speed is the key.

Structural Integrity and Stability

Tunnel Bags are commonly erected on the strong base of U-Panel Jumbo Bags or Four-Panel Jumbo Bags in order to maintain the highest degree of structural stability. This design ensures that the bag is able to keep its cubic shape to stack high and densely, as well as have expedited handling of the tunnel system. The load-bearing capacity and the Safe Working Load (SWL) are certified to the same level as the traditional loop bags.

Operational Advantages and Safety Benefits

Enacting the application of Tunnel Bags directly translates to safety, speed, and general flow of the logistical process.

Enhanced Safety and Reduced Strain

Doing away with the necessity of personnel physically adjusting, hooking, and controlling lifting loops to the forklift tines can greatly diminish the potential of injury. The safe fit of the tines to the tunnels also reduces the risk of the bag slipping, swinging, and falling during transit, which is a significant issue when using the heavy 2-tonne or Heavy-Duty Jumbo Bags.

Optimal for High-Volume Movement

Tunnel Bags can be used in repetitive volumes of high speed, where efficiency is required, like:

  • Staging and De-Staging: A quick transportation of materials in and out of production lines into staging in a warehouse.
  • Truck Loading/Unloading: Massively reducing the turnaround time of trucks at distribution centers and ports.
  • Controlled Access: The tunnels make sure that the bag is picked up on the correct axis and the operator does not damage the material or the bag as a result of trying to pick up the bag on the incorrect axis.

Targeted Applications

Tunnel Bags are the packaging type that should be used in all situations where speed, efficiency, and safety during lifting are at the top of the agenda.

Building and Construction

It was used to move bulk sand, gravel, and construction aggregates rapidly from site to site.

Warehousing and Logistics

This is necessary for bulk materials, which must be subject to incessant internal circulation or optimised loading onto pallets and racks.

Agricultural Commodities

This is applied to grains and seeds in which high handling rates are needed during the peak harvesting and planting periods.
