Thrust is FORCE.
If you had, for example, 10,000 pounds of thrust available then that would be sufficient to be able to hold up an object weighing 10,000 pounds. If you had 10,001 pounds of thrust then you could RAISE a 10,000 pound object off the ground, and then hold it above the ground.
So a 747 with 60,000 pounds of thrust per engine (or about 27,300 kilograms if you prefer) could LIFT a 27,299 kilogram lorry off the ground and HOLD up.
747 has four engines each with about 60,000 pounds (27,300kg) of thrust you say? Well thats a total of 4 x 60,000 = 240,000 pounds (or 109,000 kg if you like).
If it helps with perspective, most articulated lorries have a gross vehicle mass of about 40,000 kilograms, or 40 tonnes.
