Abstract

A materials handling vehicle (10) including a load handling assembly (40) having a mast assembly (28), and a fork carriage assembly (60) including a fork support (64) and at least one fork assembly (160, 162), the at least one fork assembly including a first fork member (160A, 162A), which is fixed to the fork support, and a second fork member (160B, 162B). The vehicle includes a tilt assembly (90) that tilts the fork support relative to the mast assembly such that a central axis of the at least one fork assembly is positionable in a plurality of different positions relative to a horizontal direction. The vehicle includes a fork extension/retraction assembly (106a, 106b) that moves the second fork member relative to the first fork member in a first direction that is parallel to the central axis such that the fork extension/retraction assembly selectively moves the second fork member toward or away from the fork support in the first direction.
