I'm using the actuator that says its good for 270lb

I'm using the 4rth pully system from here
Pulley diagram
I'm using it to lift 40 lbs
So from the diagram I figured that to lift 40 lbs I need an actuator to handle 160 lbs 4 times what I want to really lift
I'm finding that it struggles to even lift 40 lbs
What am I missing
