If you have some sort of linear slide mechanism to locate and support the tote and gripper weight, the 2x 3/4" cylinders should be able to move it back and fourth. I would not trust supporting the weight of a tote axially on the cylinder rod itself. The 3/4" bore cylinder rods are not very hard to bend (especially with a longer stoke length). After they are bent they probably will not be able to be returned to original working order.
