All of this also implies lubricants, hydraulic fluids, tires and other spares and repair facilities for the vehicles.

For a larger supply base, probably a dozen or so carrying vehicles, another dozen or so forklifts and some type of overhead crane system for the pallets/smaller containers.

The vehicles could be scattered in three vehicle bays (at the beginning, middle and end of the tunnel). I can see the end of tunnel vehicle bay being used as a maintenance point.
