Instead of drilling the main support rails which I am sure would void any warranty, lawsuit or insurance claim.
Why not cut down either a 4X4 post or some square steel tubing that can be placed under the post supports? Strap it to the upright with tie-downs so that if the lift should release, it will come down and rest on the post/tubing?
