There should be a cylinder or triangular plastic finger a couple of inches before the charging ramp which should pulse the slowing switch as the lift rides over it. This will start to slow the carriage provided it has already travelled around 2′ (the travel distance is important as it prevents the lift slowing when moving away from the stop in the opposite direction). The end of the rail should have a sprung finger towards the front and a sloping charge ramp bottom rear. The sprung finger should contact the side panel of the lower trunion which activates the limit switch. Should the lift travel too far up the charging ramp the ultimate limit switch is activated due to the charge pickup being pushed in fully.
