Retractable aluminium tunnels
With the aluminium retractable tunnels from Giulio Barbieri, VLP offers you a solution for situations where a three-dimensional closure is required. These tunnel tents offer you a closed cabin that prevents the spread or entry of dust, sparks, noise, stench or moisture. These foldable tunnels are multifunctional, both indoors and outdoors. Think, for example, of a storm-proof storage, work tent or airlock between two buildings.

Options
The retractable tunnels consist of a framework of aluminium arches, equipped with pantographs and quick releases, covered with a flame-retardant PVC tarpaulin. The front and rear of the tunnels can be closed off with a one- or two-piece industrial curtain. A retractable tunnel runs on nylon wheels with bearings, pneumatic rubber tires or nylon wheels on a storm-resistant rail. Larger versions of an aluminium retractable tunnel are supplied with a storm-resistant rail by default.
Possible dimensions
The retractable tunnels are available in a wide range of sizes. The span of an aluminium retractable tunnel is a maximum of 12 metres, the clearance height is a minimum of 1.5 meters up to a maximum of 5 metres. The length of the tunnel is available in any desired size. When retracted, the tunnel is, depending on the type, approximately 10 to 20% of the extended tunnel length. The opening and closing of an aluminium retractable tunnel need to be done manually. If you are looking for a motor-driven system, we refer you to our steel retractable tunnels.
Applications of a retractable tunnel
The retractable tunnels can be used for various purposes, such as;
- A work tent
- As a garage
- As a boathouse
- As container cover
- As a draught lock in front of or between buildings
- As a flexible spraying or washing cabin
- When used under an overhead crane
- As a quarantine area that meets phytosanitary requirements
In addition, a retractable tunnel is regularly used to remove asbestos. By using a retractable tunnel, you can easily create a closed space between a building and container.
Optional PVC fabrics
The canopy of an aluminium retractable tunnel can be produced out of different kinds of PVC-fabrics, such as;
- Gauze
- Insulating materials
- Flame-retardant materials
- Soundproof materials
- lightproof materials
You can also choose to install windows of crystal-clear material in the roof, walls or curtains when choosing a standard PVC or gauze canopy.
