That's an interesting data point. The 8" GSO Dob (that a lot of people will be familiar with) weighs about 10kg for the rocker box and 10kg for the tube. So, both parts of the 12" Dob will weigh as much as the entire 8" Dob.
Also, keep in mind, what you can and cannot carry doesn't just depend on its weight. I could carry a 20kg tube easily, but a 20kg rocker box not so much, because of its awkward shape.
