I have no idea what "Viking Hands" are and searching only gave me tattoo hand images. I'm guessing they are the spring loaded clamp looking things that lift the roof?


My idea may be stupider than most but could you use a concentric cam type system to lift the roof?
Either attached to a long lever you manually pull around to provide the leverage or even some sort of motorised system to rotate them. A motor would likely require gearing to provide enough torque.

A simple scale system to weigh the required lifting effort, 1 Newton is the same as 101.97162129779 grams.

EDIT: Sorry, I thought it was approximately 100 grams based on a 5 Newton scale I purchased recently but some STUPID conversion site this morning gave me 1KG per Newton.
I feel so stupid, at least I look the same so it's probably a great match....
