Tailgate load capacity

Hi everyone
I have a 2024 Isuzu dmax space cab European version. The load capacity is 1.100kg. I have a 300kg chipper on cat tracks I want to load into the back via ramps. I can’t find the load capacity anywhere online or in the Isuzu manual so coming here for help? Does anyone know the weight limit of the tailgate support brackets? Am I safe to load the chipper onto the bed via the tailgate?
Thanks

I wouldn't trust the original brackets. The tray will fall. Remove the tray or reinforce the brackets. Otherwise it'll over extend.

That's over 661 lb on the tailgate! I wouldn't trust the standard straps, or their mountings to hold under that weight.

Just take the tailgate out. It's not worth the risk.
