It is a wonder of mine why 2 post lift manufacturer's do not (from the factory) attach a few sections of Unistrut to the lift points and paint to match the column color.... makes too much sense. Instead, we have to come up with ways ourselves, normally with drilling and tapping the columns. Of course you could put stick-on hooks, zip-tie stick-ons, etc.... but for heavier weight items it leaves you scratching your head..
And at the same time, some manufacturer's void a warranty if you drill/modify a lift column. My Forward DP10A leaves a lot to be desired as far as add-on mounting options. Is anyone aware of a way to secure Unistrut to a column without drilling? I was thinking a c-clamp style grab attachment of some sorts. I'm a mechanic - not an industrial maint. tech. My main goal is to secure a junction box to the lift in an effort to have a kill switch of some sorts. Another pet peeve of mine, the dinky push button switches are garbage with no built-in safety of a simple on/off switch. Any insight on non-drill applications or what you did would be appreciated.
