Whether navigating overhead power lines or transporting deck pans, rebar, and forms, the MT Series delivers an efficient and cost-effective solution for material movement, with features that simplify even the most complex of lifts.”
The first model launched in the MT Series is the MT Behemoth, engineered to deliver powerful, precise material movement for bridge construction. At its core is a stationary power unit that serves as the central source of energy and operational control. This unit drives the machine’s travel, trolley movement, elevation adjustments, and any powered accessories, whether hydraulic or electric. The machine frame is constructed from ultra-high strength weathering steel, offering durability and longevity.
Supporting this system is a generator that supplies power to up to three contiguous material transport trollies and their hoists. These trollies, housed within the material transport hanger frame, are the primary carrying apparatus of the machine. Each trolley is connected to the Bid-Well’s standard chain power transmission system, providing smooth and consistent movement across the span.
To maintain stability and distribute weight effectively, the MT Behemoth features an 8-wheel bogie system. This design minimizes stress on rails or overhang brackets, while the ultra-powered leg system controls the machine’s elevation via a hydraulic motor-driven ACME screw.
Concluding, Mark Rhead adds, “The MT Series is a direct result of decades of experience working alongside contractors on complex bridge paving projects. We’ve listened, learned, and engineered a solution that addresses real challenges in material movement with the reliability and adaptability Bid-Well is known for.”
