So the pair of overlapped cylinders from green to yellow are probably to tilt the yellow bit down to ease the gear entry from the loading station. The four long stroke, small bore cylinders (plus linear rods!) from red to (probably) green are either to get the gear mechanism over the bumper into the wall for loading a gear, or maybe for putting it in place? There's the sideways one under the gear to
pivot the blue wings open/closed on those hinges, I'm assuming that one has a bushing instead of a pin in the end of the cylinder.
And then the four in the corners of the chassis which are probably brakes.
That's definitely a lot of air consumption, even if you're regulating down since most of those probably don't need 60psi.
