ABSTRACT:
31 C-shaped A retractable ladder rack for use on the top of vehicles. The rack has one or more curved C-shaped channel members wich can be attached to the roof of the vehicle and which hold antifriction members such as wheels which in turn suppot a rack. The rack can slide along the channel members to a lower position to facilitate the loading of a ladder or other object. The rack may be equipped with spring means to facilitate upward movement. The rack has at least three anti-friction members which are positioned within the channel, at least two of which are retained in the channel when the rack is in its maximum downward position. The retained members are positioned in close proximity to each other so that when the rack is extended said rack moves downwardly and toward the side of the vehicle and is supported only by its retained members. The extent of the movement toward the side of the vehicle may be made adjustable.
