As Robbie said don’t cut the join, you’ll trash the lift. With the right tools and knowledge you would cut an end and then refit all the necessary parts.
You can alter the stopping position by moving the white plastic brackets bolted to the underside of the rail further down the rail, but mark where you’re removing it from and do not operate the lift without it fitted and never refit it higher than the marked point or you will set off safety gear and get in quite a mess. This way you can use the lift on a shorter staircase without risking someones health.
