Size and what fits
A 5-ton lorry is a 17-ft lorry: the cargo space is about 17 × 6.5–7 × 7 ft (about 5.1 × 2.0 × 2.1 m) and it carries about 4,000–5,000 kg, depending on the company.
- Fits: a family house (terrace or semi-detached), a big office, or a large load of goods or materials.
- For an apartment, a 3-ton lorry is often enough. For bulk goods and long hauls, see the 10-ton lorry.
Good to know
- A 5-ton lorry usually needs a Class E licence; most people hire it with a driver.
- Three or four crew are usual for a house move.
- Say if the road is narrow or the lorry can't park close: a 17-ft lorry needs space to turn and park.
