SHORT STROKE MAST-RAISING SYSTEM
A system for raising a mast includes a primary cylinder and an actuator. The primary cylinder has a first end coupled to the mast and a second end coupled to a lifting base. The primary cylinder actuates from a retracted position to an extended position to at least partially raise the mast. The actuator actuates from a retracted position to an extended position to at least partially raise the mast, thereby moving the first end of the primary cylinder or the second end of the primary cylinder toward a pivot point between the mast and the lifting base.
