Agreed that Boytcho is a very pleasant gentlemen to deal with.
I didn’t notice the bending as shown in your photographs. I lifted from a different contact point than you did which did not place the lifting puck in the center of the aluminum deck.
I suspect in your case a 4x12 inch strip of quarter inch steel plate underneath the pucks would’ve successfully spread the load to avoid the bending
I love how it is so easy to store it in nooks and crannies. Also no hydraulic lines to deal with.
