PrimeStorage F2, T-type

The BCM PrimeStorage F2, T-type is a manual storage system designed for flatbed dies. It is one of the most trusted manual storage solutions in the corrugated industry. Designed for optimal space utilization and long-term performance in environments with limited floor space. Its robust construction, user-friendly operation, and smart design make it a highly efficient and cost-effective alternative to fully automated systems.

Optimized space and smart operation

This double-rack layout with an overhead-mounted, manually oprated crane is ideal for facilities with sufficient space where a single-rack setup may not provide enough capacity. The crane supports 360-degree rotation, enabling tool delivery in any surrounding direction—eliminating the need for dedicated garages. When not in use, the crane can be “parked” higher up to allow free passage in front of the storage.

Advanced software and safety features

While this PrimeStorage system is manually operated and does not include the automated software of SmartStorage or AutoStorage solutions, it is engineered with smart design elements that support safe and efficient handling.

Every BCM PrimeStorage includes:
• Camera-assisted operation for accurate lifting and lowering
• Easy to use – easy to teach
• Highly versatile functionality
• Numbered signage for efficient tool organization and identification
• Safety-first design: operators must work alone in the aisle during crane operation

The storage structure is built primarily from galvanized steel, while the crane and crane rails are constructed using a combination of aluminum, galvanized steel, and powder-coated steel for long-lasting durability and mechanical precision.

Operator-guided efficiency

The crane is fully guided by the operator. It moves manually along the overhead rails, while vertical sleigh movement is motor-assisted for efficient lifting and lowering. This enables the operator to handle tools smoothly and safely—especially in tall storage setups.
A camera monitor supports precise positioning of the gripper when picking up or placing dies, minimizing the risk of collisions or damage.

Efficient tool handling with trolleys

The storage trolleys are designed to hold three cassettes or three double-dies or four single-dies as standard.
Customized trolleys are available. Each cassette contains a complete die set for production (cutting die, stripping die, guillotine board, and printing drawing).
The trolleys are mounted on wheels and designed for easy maneuvering by a single operator.

During operation, the operator brings the trolley directly into the storage area and places it within arm’s reach. This minimizes walking distance, reduces physical strain, and significantly enhances efficiency during loading and unloading.

For manufacturers looking to improve organization, safety, and handling of flatbed dies and rotary dies —without investing in full automation—the BCM PrimeStorage F2, T-type offers a proven, high-performance solution.
