you need more ratio -- not power

The van door motors have plenty of power to move the bridge around in a reasonable timeframe.

What you probably need is more ratio from the motor shaft to the arm.

I don't know if you can do anything at this late date but if you can get more turns of the motor shaft for the same travel of the arm, but if you can it will give you the "umph" you seem to want.

Good luck.
