McIntosh & Son Automated Storage Project

McIntosh & Son needed a smarter storage and material handling solution to support peak seasonal demand, improve output and help their team provide on-demand customer service during busy harvesting and seeding periods.

DMD delivered a turnkey material handling package that combined automation, high-rise racking, specialised jumbo racks and integrated equipment, creating a more efficient storage system for a high-pressure regional operation.

This was an automation-led solution designed for the way the client’s operation worked.

Project Snapshot

Client: McIntosh & Son
Location: Katanning, Western Australia
Project: Automated Storage
Scope: 4 Hänel Lean Lifts, high-rise racking, specialised jumbo racks and material handling integration

The Client’s Challenge

During peak harvesting and seeding periods, McIntosh & Son experiences a major increase in customer demand. The team needed a storage system that could help improve output during these high-pressure periods and support faster customer service.

Inventory control was also a key requirement. McIntosh & Son needed to ensure goods were available when customers needed them, while keeping the warehouse organised, accessible and efficient.

DMD’s Warehouse Solution

DMD supplied a turnkey material handling package designed to improve storage density, access and operational flow. The installation also took place on a new build site, which required careful coordination. Materials and installation equipment arrived on time, installation stayed on schedule and other contractors on site were not impacted.

The solution included:

• 4 Hänel Lean Lifts
• High-rise racking
• Specialised jumbo racks
• Integrated material handling equipment

By combining automated storage with practical racking and material handling systems, DMD helped McIntosh & Son create a smarter warehouse environment that could better support busy seasonal periods.

The Outcome

The project delivered a more efficient storage and handling system designed to support faster access, improved output and better inventory control.

• Improved operational flow during peak demand periods
• Supported on-demand customer service
• Improved access to inventory
• Automation increased storage efficiency
• Installation without disrupting other site works
