Bidwell MT Behemoth
MT Behemoth is a Bid-Well material handler engineered to move materials in bridge construction projects.
A stationary power unit serves as the central source of energy and operational control, driving 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.
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.
Lifting heights range from 20 to 100 feet, with lifting speeds reaching up to 21 fpm. The system supports a maximum load of 15,000 pounds across three trollies and, in certain engineered configurations can span up to 120 feet, with longer configurations available through factory consultation.
Operators can choose between remote and pendant control options, and tandem lifting is supported for complex lift scenarios.
