Bid-Well Launches MT Series for Material Movement
Since 1961, Bid-Well has worked with contractors on some of the most complex bridge paving projects across the globe. This deep, hands-on experience has shaped the development of the MT Series, a solution born directly from the challenges and insights gathered on jobsites. “Bridge construction is more than paving, so Bid-Well is more than a paver. The MT Series is our answer to the evolving needs of contractors who demand smarter, safer, and more adaptable material movement solutions,” explained Mark Rhead, sales manager at Bid-Well.
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.
Performance capabilities of the MT Behemoth are equally impressive. Lifting heights range from 6 to 30 m, with lifting speeds reaching up to 6.4 m/min. The system supports a maximum load of 6.8 t across 3 trollies and, in certain engineered configurations can span up to 36.5 m, 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. Added to this, the MT Series has been designed to integrate with Bid-Well bridge pavers and truss configurations, making it the only configurable material movement system on the market. “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,” concluded Mr. Rhead.

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.”
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.
