A rack for carrying loads and mounted over the bed of a vehicle and adapted to be converted to a trailer, the rack having front and rear tubular vertical posts supporting an assembly of tubular bars, the tubular bars being divided into front and rear segments and each segment having a cover of steel wire mesh, the front segment being folded over the rear segment after detaching the front segment from the front vertical posts, pivoting the rear and folded over front segments to a vertical position so as to lie adjacent the rear vertical posts, the rear vertical posts carrying telescopic members to which the rear segments are attached having an axle and journaled wheels passing through standards welded to the back side of the rear posts, pivoting the whole assembly to a horizontal position, with the folded over segments overlying the rear posts, extending the telescopic members with the attached rear segment, unfolding the front segment so that the front segment is maintained forwardly of the rear segment. A system for establishing a torque necessary for translation of the posts, with wheels and the combined segments is also effectuated. Additional support posts can be placed under the rack in the region of the front segment with angularly inclined appendages extending therefrom to support ladders and the like.
