Very good observation, one I had myself since it would have a major bearing on hole placement. Luckily I get by the Greg Smith showroom in Indianapolis regularly for business and was in there a half a dozen times with a pad of paper and tape measure prior to starting the project, GREAT guys by the way. I once took a plumb bob with me and laid a tape measure on the ground cycling the lift up and down a few times, the rectangular platform (at least on the Atlas) did not move forward or back, vertical movement was true.
