Note the attributes applicable too

clothes_dryer:foldable=*

clothes_dryer:portable=*


from https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dclothes_dryer

These would suit the 'umbrella' types - tagged as

cloths_dryer=rotary

clothes_dryer:foldable=yes


The fordable attribute would not be easily spotted from imagery.
