Does this open with a crank and have a tilt? I'm looking for one with neither of those features. Thanks

This umbrella is market type and does not use a crank, rather the pin method. Also, it does not tilt.

It tilts. Pretty sure the review saying it doesn't forgot about the tilt lock. Just pull the height adjustment lever out and it unlocks and tilts.

Lol!!!! I just found out. Been searching the internet with same problem. I'm usually good with these things so I was quite frustrated not being able to figure it out, almost broke the darn thing trying to use a small screwdriver as someone had suggested. Anyway the answer is.... (drumroll please)It is AUTO-tilt; so once its been completely opened, continuing to crank the mechanism (I know scary, I was worried I'd break it) actually starts working the tilt mechanism!

Yes this umbrella will tilt. There is a push button torwards the top of the pole that you push after the umbrella is open to engage the tilt feature is hard to spot the first time you do it. You also have to push in again while you straighten the umbrella at the same time to get back in the upright postion.

I'm not sure if there are two different models or something, but the model I received (purchased January 9, 2014) tilts forward and back. Like another user posted, it doesn't rotate left and right, but it's light enough to easily turn when needed. I uploaded some pictures here to show: http://imgur.com/a/XdyvU

Mine came with enough tension such that it would not swivel unless tapped (with no socket attached) or moved by hand. There is a giant hex head bolt going through the swivel that you could probably tighten to adjust tension.

If its like the two we purchased then no it is really designed as a 360 crank handle and would be to be mounted on a block or off to the side to allow full rotation without interference to your hand. And I believe it is the exact model. As a matter of fact I really needed a right hand and left hand version. But had to mount one 90 degrees to allow for handle rotation.

Curious problem. In testing mine, I encountered no trouble in opening the umbrella. In cranking the lifter, I simply continued to crank beyond the tilt mechanism until the umbrella was tight. The tilt mechanism was locked in the upright position. That locking mechanism is pretty straight forward and intuitive. If you still don't succed. please get back to me. RWM

not so sure on this one. I bought a Hamilton which is a very good one and tilts flat. (made very well)

Yes it has the typical lever on the side. When pushed in you cannot tilt back, when pulled out (released) you can tilt back. Hope I helped. I have had this chair a long time now and am still quite pleased with it!

Nope, no tilt, no swivel. However thats the least of its problems. You should read, and heed the 1 star reviews. DO NOT buy a TCL t.v.

I don't believe you can tilt it, I have not tried it. when I open it up I will re-post.

Mine does tilt but it was VERY stiff to change angle. Just tried it again and was able to adjust but still very stiff

Mine can definitely tilt. It sounds like yours is either defective or the hinge is just really tight! (some pictures for proof: http://imgur.com/a/MAN8L )

It has a pin that allow you to tilt the rack and open the door without removing the entire rack. Keep in mind you still have to deal with it in the way.
