Just seen a French registered freightliner heading west on the m26 pulling a 45’ box. You should be able to have a look as I would imagine it will be parked at leatherhead shortly.
He may find vosa not as lenient on length laws as their French cousins.

Can use longer units on containers because the trailer is only 40’ long, the container is the load and is aloud to overhang be 2.5’ 
Well good luck to him , looks cracking. But I would think he was still overlength with a bonnet like that. No doubt somebody on here will have more idea about exact lengths.
There used to be a firm in Lyon that used yank trucks delivering cattle from Lyon over into Italy every night.
This waqs in the 90s though , they had full length livestock trailers on. Looked the business with all the extra lights and went like stink too.

The quote says it was pulling a 45. Can only pull 40s with a bull nose. No overhang allowed. A bloke in Tilbury has a canadian volvo and had to have a psk cut down as they (vosa) said he was too long with a slider! He had to get the box right behind the cab
You could use it on a Tank,Bulk Tank or Tipper,and maybe Low Loader too
