Complementing the normal field of view with tilt and shift movements, the PC-E Micro-NIKKOR 45mm f/2.8D ED from Nikon is a unique lens allowing you to more effectively control focus and perspective. Up to +/- 8.5° of tilt is possible, for focus control; +/- 11.5mm of shift, to adjust perspective and composition; and +/- 90° of rotation is also possible for adjusting the axis of these movements. Further benefitted by the movements, this lens is also a micro optic and provides a 1:2 maximum magnification ratio along with a 9.3" minimum focusing distance for working with close-up subjects.

question
Can this lens do rise & fall and tilt in the same photo? The nearest I can see is that it can't.
Yes, the lens can tilt and shift in the same photo. There are limits and you will get vignetteing if you go to far.

I shoot products commercially and want to add T/S capability to my offerings. My items are typically hardware parts such as cabinet pulls. Common sizes are 1-1/2” to 4”long. . Shots are usually straight on and slightly above the product. Front side to back side of items is usually 1” - 2.5” (needed DOF). Is this a capable product given this information?
There is no fathomable calculator for P-S lenses that we have come across. However, in our experience, we feel that the lens will give you the wide depth of field (even at an open stop) you desire. Using such a lens requires delving into its milieu because that is the only way will you find out what it can do. We suggest that you research more about P-S lenses and then rent a lens for a test run to see if it works for you. I encourage to push through any discouragement for T-S lenses are a tool where the experienced user unlocks it's capability.

question
Has anyone had a Nikon PC-E lens converted to allow you to swing and tilt in the same photo or tilt and rise/fall in the same photo? If so, what was the cost and are your happy with the results?
I just called Nikon customer service on this issue of converting the lens so as to do rise/fall and tilt in the same photo, and the associated cost. Nikon told me the conversion cost is variable ranging between $346.00 and $699.00. They explained that the variance is based on whether they have to replace lens elements during the process. They added that newer lenses are more likely to hit the $346.00.
