ABSTRACT:
A vehicle top carrier comprising a carrier frame mounted on track structure for movement from a generally horizontal carrying position atop the vehicle to a substantially inclined loading and unloading position to one side of the vehicle. A strut has its upper end pivoted to the carrier frame. Its lower end has a pivot block which is slidably mounted on a vertical guide on the side of the vehicle. This pivot block is at the bottom of the slide when the carrier frame is in the loading and unloading position. It is raised to the top of the slide to raise the carrier frame from the loading and unloading position to an intermediate position of lesser inclination from which the carrier frame may be easily moved to the carrying position.
