I stripped some 10AWG copper and wrapped it around the frame and it lays on the floor pretty stealthy under the stepladder in the rear. So far no shock but I have to investigate further.
Shocking has to do with ground resistance also: it has to be below a certain limit to avoid shock even with your above arrangement.I stripped some 10AWG copper and wrapped it around the frame and it lays on the floor pretty stealthy under the stepladder in the rear.

Rubber tires on carpeted surface will build up a static charge. A piece of bare #12 copper wire attached to the lift's frame and trailing on the floor may be enough to dissipate the charge, maybe not.

For the infinitesimal amount of money involved, you could install it permanently and do the next renter a small favor.... You could use this on a Rental if you used some sort of removable Clamp.
Sure, why not? Leather is skin, and skin is conductive. Come to think of it, I probably have a few old leather belts kickin' around that are overdue to be repurposed.... BTW, some older aircraft like a DC-6 have leather straps for grounding.
