How big are these lorries? 40 to 50 tonnes empty !!

We have done some research on low loaders. They are about 16.6m is 54'6" or so. VERY LONG AND VERY HEAVY - we are talking 40 to 50 tonnes!!!! And that is when they are empty! This is more than double, and close to triple when laden, compared to a double decker bus weighing 15 tonnes!
have called http://www.hallplanthire.co.uk/forhire.php?item_id=1381
and the one illustrated is 40T and is 44'.
You measure from the front of cab to the back, that is the standard. Then
you usually mention the tonnage -- which CROSSRAIL HAVE SLYLY OMITTED FROM THEIR OFFERING!
