Maybe I'm just crazy (OK, OK - stop nodding your heads), but why not just go ahead and install the lift? Yes, there's a chance that you'll hit one of the in-floor heating tubes. But can it not be repaired?
Given that you have no idea of the spacing, depth or layout of the lines, seems there is little other option. Would probably cost a lot less to repair a line than to keep waiting on these guys anyhow.
One other option would be to try witching the lines.
And finally, what about injecting an additive into the heating liquid? Kinda like adding dye before an MRI. Might be able to add tiny metal dust and use a sump pump to circulate it through the lines, then find those lines using a metal detector. If you do not know much about metal detectors, then look up metal detecting clubs or coin collectors or treasure hunters in your area. Put an ad in the local paper looking for an experienced metal detectorist. Or maybe go to www.treasurenet.com and ask on there. I used to see people go there and ask if a detectorist could look for a ring or some other lost item. One person even asked if someone could go underwater to find a set of keys.
If the floor has steel reinforcement, then use copper or aluminum dust. A good detectorist can filter out the iron signals.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
