Do electric walkie straddle stackers ever have tilt functions ?

Electric Walkie Straddle Stacker

Can the forks be tilted back or forward any ? Seems unlikely but just wondering....I know they can on "reach" type lift trucks that are not all that different, so it would be possible to do....but doubt they bother on this style.

I'm not seeing it listed.
Are you seeing that large trunion on the mast ?

As you know, the straddle type, ride on ones have tilt done
up on the forks carriage (a little tiny cylinder pops the
bottom of the forks out a bit to effect "tilt")
And that fork carriage tilt could be added to a walkey IIRC.

I don't mean that particular one necessarily, but do any of that handle style electric walkie straddle type ever have fork carriage tilt capabilities ?

Well, there is that large trunion block on the mast just above the
battery.
One could surmise that there is a small tilt cylinder under the battery,
parallel with the floor, doing the tilt of that mast.

Never seen one with tilt, most have non tapered forks as well, with tilt you'd want tapered forks. I've got a Big Joe PDI that I need to run tilted back a bit sometimes- it has forks that mount on a bar so if I need to I can hang a spacer of 1/4" plate from the bottom rung of the carriage which gives 1" plus lift at the fork tips. Poor mans (non power) tilt...

We have a similar one at work. No tapered forks or tilt. Just up down with a manual wheel brake. The hydraulic pump runs off a large car or marine battery. It was used to help replace the very heavy lead acid battery in our Raymond lift. It held 1500-2000 pounds with no issue.

Raymond has ones that can be - optional if not already inbuilt as standard, depending on model.

They cannot be the only such supplier. May not be universal, but there's "some" longstanding need besides your own interest.
