According to the 2015 pneumatics manual, at 60 psi something of this size could lift 170 lbs. The volume needed would be ~113.1 in^3, or 1853.4 ml. This would mean we'd need four air tanks to fill one piston. Doesn't seem /too/ terrible. It's definitely doable.
Get single acting pistons if you can, otherwise you'll need 8 tanks.
