Hello I've ordered a 9000 lb 2 post lift from Team lift in Texas. From the photos it would appear that the top 2 feet or so is a cable chase and pulley support. When I ordered I knew I was 2 inches short but thought I could pop my ceiling up the 2 or 3 inches I need to clear. Now that I'm poking and prodding I see that there's mechanical in the joist bay that's over the lift position. So- before I get all nervous and start planning on lowering the floor, I thought I'd consider cutting down the cable chase by 3 inches. When I ordered it they told me they could make it shorter - and I should have had them do it but now it's supposed to ship on Wednesday and I don't want to hold that up. So -having both the technology and skill to do a cut and weld - is that a feasable plan. This would be easy to determine once it's delivered but If I have to do concrete work to prep for installation I'd like to know that asap so I can start on it this weekend.
Anything else to consider with this install? Others here with experience?
Thanks Peter
