The logistics industry in Latvia has witnessed significant infrastructure development over recent years, with DHL establishing itself as a major player in the Baltic region’s supply chain network. One of the most comprehensive warehouse equipment projects undertaken in the capital involved the complete relocation and installation of storage systems for DHL Logistics Latvia, demonstrating the scale and complexity of modern warehouse operations in Riga.
VVN successfully executed a comprehensive warehouse equipment project for DHL Logistics Latvia that involved dismantling, relocating, and reassembling an extensive pallet racking system. The project required meticulous planning and professional execution to ensure minimal disruption to ongoing logistics operations while transitioning equipment to new warehouse premises. This type of large-scale warehouse relocation showcases the growing demand for flexible logistics solutions in the DHL Riga operations, reflecting the company’s commitment to optimizing its storage infrastructure throughout the Baltic region.
The warehouse equipment installation encompassed a total capacity of 12,000 pallet positions, representing one of the largest storage system projects completed for a logistics provider in Latvia. This substantial storage capacity enables DHL Riga to manage significant inventory volumes efficiently, supporting the company’s role as a leading express shipment and logistics service provider in the Baltic states. The scale of this project demonstrates VVN’s expertise in handling complex warehouse solutions for major international logistics companies operating in the region.
The pallet racking systems installed in the DHL Riga warehouse facility were designed to maximize vertical storage space while ensuring safe and efficient access to stored goods. Modern warehouse shelving solutions allow logistics companies to optimize their storage capacity by utilizing the full height of warehouse buildings, which is particularly important in urban areas where horizontal space comes at a premium. VVN provided specialized pallet racks adapted to standard EPAL-EUR pallets measuring 1200 x 800 mm, Finnish pallets at 1200 x 1000 mm, and industrial pallets sized 1200 x 1200 mm, ensuring compatibility with diverse cargo types handled by DHL operations.
The HX series pallet racking system implemented in this project features modular components that can be reassembled and reconfigured as business needs evolve. This flexibility proved essential during the relocation process, as all components could be disassembled from the original location and reinstalled in the new warehouse premises without compromising structural integrity. The shelving systems are manufactured according to international construction standards and carry GS safety certification from TÜV Rheinland, confirming compliance with strict German and European quality regulations.
VVN’s comprehensive service approach included not only the supply of warehouse equipment but also professional dismantling, packing, transportation, and assembly services. The company’s experienced installation teams ensured that every component was carefully handled during the relocation process to maintain the integrity of the storage systems. This turnkey approach to warehouse equipment projects allows logistics companies like DHL Riga to focus on their core business operations while relying on specialized experts to manage the technical aspects of storage infrastructure.
The assembly process involved precise configuration of pillar and beam arrangements, storage level positioning, and rack aisle layouts tailored to DHL’s specific operational requirements. Professional installation ensures that warehouse shelving systems can withstand long-term loads and maintain cargo safety throughout years of intensive use. VVN’s installation teams work efficiently to minimize downtime during warehouse transitions, understanding that logistics operations require rapid turnaround times to maintain service continuity.
DHL’s investment in expanded warehouse facilities reflects the broader growth of logistics infrastructure in Riga and throughout Latvia. The company has demonstrated commitment to developing advanced cargo handling capabilities, including construction of new processing facilities at Riga Airport with automated sorting systems. These investments position DHL Riga as a regional logistics hub capable of handling increasing volumes of express shipments and e-commerce deliveries throughout the Baltic states.
VVN has established itself as a preferred supplier of warehouse equipment for leading logistics companies operating in Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania. The company’s ability to deliver integrated storage solutions, combined with over ten years of experience in the warehouse equipment industry, makes it a trusted partner for businesses requiring professional storage infrastructure. From initial consultation and warehouse design through delivery and installation, VVN provides comprehensive support that ensures optimal utilization of warehouse space and maximizes operational efficiency.
The successful completion of the DHL Logistics Latvia warehouse project exemplifies the high standards of quality and professionalism that characterize modern warehouse equipment installations in the Baltic region. As logistics companies continue expanding their operations in response to growing e-commerce demand and international trade, reliable storage infrastructure becomes increasingly critical to maintaining competitive advantage in the market.
