single cab 130 payload will depend on the body fitted [have to account for the actual body & mountings weight]

copied from LR UK website Defender 130 page doesn't mention tippers as they would be a LRSV [special vehicles] conversion. but for ----

Dropsides

The Defender 130 Dropside in either Single or Double cab format provides huge load carrying capacity and a whole lot more. The corrosion resistant body is constructed from aluminium with zinc plated catches and corner pillars. The totally flat, wheelarchless load floor with hinged removable side boards, back boards and corner pillars all make for fast and easy load management. With a payload of 1200kg through, class-leading towing capability of up to 3500kg and optional tipper functionality, this is a truly remarkable load carrier.

so max payload will be around 1200kg or 1.2 metric tonnes.

& you can't go any higher than the existing chassis Max gross weight, as stamped on the VIN/Chassis plate, note the rear axle gross weight too, that will restrict how much you can dump in the body.
