Ramp strength

I have a 2008 mega-lite by Extreme 25st. I just got my new xp4 turbo s rzr and it’s just over 2000lbs with fuel and some tools. Can’t seem to find anything of the ramp captivity or cargo capacity. Bought it used a year or so ago. I have hauled similar weight inside with full water tanks, fuel, etc for a 5+ hr trip without any issues. When I test fit the rzr in yesterday the rear ramp seemed to flex a lot!! Was thinking I could add a couple ramps to help out when loading and unloading if needed. Hope someone here might know the captivity of the rear ramp door. Thanks

    There's a sticker on my ramp. 3000lbs but I wouldn't trust it with that much.

    Back in the day, all of the wide body haulers had ramps rated to 3000lbs.
    Not sure about the lite versions.
    I put my 2800lb sand rail in/out all the time.
    Granted, only 1 set of tires is on the ramp at any 1 time.

    Thanks. My rzr is 149 inches long. So only one set of tires at a time for me as well.

    According to the brochure it was rated for 2500#
    2008 Extreme Mega-Lite Brochure

    Now the questions become; can it really handle that much weight and since its 10 years old has it degraded at all and needs additional support.
