Yes, I know that the AMX-30 isn't and wasn't the heaviest tank around. The truck could handle 40000 kg (88105 pounds) on the pallet.

Google: Tidelium Ampliroll
I think the full name was: Tidelium 40 Ampliroll T 40 A,
the prototype was made by Creusot-Loire.

AFAIK, the Tidelium 40 used components from the Willeme TG200 :
