Summary:A materials handling vehicle including a load handling assembly having a mast assembly, and a fork carriage assembly including a fork support and at least one fork assembly, the at least one fork assembly including a first fork member, which is fixed to the fork support, and a second fork member. The vehicle includes a tilt assembly 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 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.
