Robot Pit Lift

I was wondering if using the pneumatics from the kit to build a cart for the robot would be possible. The idea would be to build an electric pump truck, in theory. We would power the wheels using electric motors, always on full power, just turned on/off through a power button. But to lift the robot + platform up to amost 4' with pneumatics? How possible is that?

You could start at the minimum height of...2', and use a cylinder with a 12" push, gear it in a way that it will lift double that, with a 130 pound weight ontop. Am I crazy, or is it realistic with the pneumatics supplied?

Thanks!
