The actuators have a cylinder and a rod, and the cylinder has an upper end and a lower end. The cylinders are connected to the support frame in a diametrically opposing relationship to one another and with the lower ends of the cylinders extending downwardly beyond the lower end of the support frame and spaced apart from one another a distance sufficient so that the lower ends of the cylinders are positioned on opposing sides of the blowout preventer when the support frame is connected to the blowout preventer.
