Freezing Water and Ice Damage

[squints]

Beware of extra holes from the manufacture in your newly installed lift

We discovered a beam on our new lift that was getting deformed from water entering and freezing... If you see a hole where water can enter be sure to create a drain hole.

Its hard to tell from the photo but you can see a crease in the center of the beam where the ice is causing it to bulge out. The rusty holes on the top of the beam came like that from the factory. We drilled a drain hole where you can see the water dripping out.
