Question about horseboxes

[Blaise]

Do they have an average length (e.g are all 7.5 tonne boxes 'X' feet long, are all 5.5 tonnes ones 'Y' feet long?) I'm asking as i need to move one of my girls but the yard i'm on has a very tight corner to enter the driveway. My friends box just about fits down ok, the box is 25ft long and i think is 5.5 tonne but i'm not sure. The man i usually use to transport my horses has a 7.5 tonne and i'm worried he wont be able to fit down (currently trying to get hold of him to find out how long his box is!) She doesn't load very well so walking her to the end of the drive & loading on road isn't an option as we'd be blocking off a narrow lane for X amount of time and definitley wont go in a trailer so cant get someone with a trailer to move her (not that i know anyone...) So are all boxes of the same weight a similar length or do they all vary?

It does depend on the lorry not the weight. Why not find someone with a 3.5 - 6.5 ton as they would be shorter.

most 7.5 tonne lorrys are about 25 ft long = 5 ft cab and 20 ft box, its rare to find longer because of weight.. the sub 7.5s can be as long overall because of the bonnet even if the horse area and living is shorter..
