I have no practical experience with such aircraft, but I have a brief comment that may perhaps be helpful.
That said, (and if I've understood you correctly), the E110 Bandeirante flight manual suggests that this mechanism is to be used to raise the gear on the ground in an emergency, and will cause major damage to the undercarriage system.
The E110 was designed with military applications in mind, and in some cases it may be better to raise the gear during the landing roll than slide off the end of the too-short strip - eg if there's a cliff at the end...
