ABSTRACT:
A ladder rack for van-type vehicles is disclosed. The ladder rack includes a frame which overlies the roof of the vehicle and includes a transverse member which supports a ladder placed on the frame. A hook member is provided for securing the ladder to the frame. One end of the hook member is pivotably attached to the transverse member near the center of the transverse member. An intermediate downwardly concave portion of the hook member extends outwardly with respect to the vehicle and projects over one of the rails of the ladder on the frame when the hook member is pivoted downwardly. The opposite free end of the hook member projects downwardly between the rails of the ladder when the hook member is pivoted downwardly. A lever is provided to pivot the hook member downwardly from an upwardly raised released position to a ladder holding position with the intermediate portion biased against the rail of the ladder, and the hook member is locked in the ladder holding position to secure the ladder to the rack.
