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

Fact of the week
Bluetooth is named after the 10th-century Viking king, Harald Bluetooth, who united warring tribes in Denmark and Norway. In 1997, Jim Kardach from Intel gave the name to the technology because of its ability to unite different communication protocols, just as Harald united various tribes.
