jarring when lift gets to bottom of descent

How do you soften the impact of the lift getting to the end of its downward travel. The order picker I have kinda slams the frame against the legs when it gets to the bottom. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

First check lift chain adjustment
Then see if any limit switches are broken misalignment
