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 mast assembly includes generally vertical first and second mast structures, the second mast structure being rotatable relative to the first mast structure. The at least one fork assembly includes a first fork member, which is fixed to the fork support, and a second fork member. The vehicle also 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 also 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. The fork support and the tilt assembly are arranged relative to each other so that a headlength, defined as the distance between an outer surface of the fork support opposite to the mast assembly and an inner surface of the tilt assembly, encompasses the fork support, the second mast structure, and the tilt assembly, and is less than 25cm.
