ABSTRACT:
A heavy duty vehicle rack for the attachment to the drip rails or gutters of a vehicle is useful for carrying heavy articles, such as pipes, ladders, etc. The vehicle rack has at least one crossmember which extends across the vehicle roof and has an end member on each end of the crossmember to engage the drip rail or gutter and hold the crossmember above the vehicle roof. A clamp with horizontal fastening tightly secures each of the end members to the drip rail. The end members and clamps have inclined cooperating portions thereon which also cause the clamp to tighten against the drip rail also vertically to hold the rack in place on the vehicle.
