Ladder rack

Ladder rack

A ladder rack with improved utility may feature a rugged single body construction with multiple bends forming a pocket between two arms. The ladder rack is mountable upon a surface, such as a vehicle roof, and contains a portion of a ladder within it. The ladder is secured transversely within the pocket as the opening is smaller than the width of a ladder rail and the use of two ladder racks, since one arm projects around a ladder rail, will secure against translational movement along the car's length if positioned to abut ladder rungs. An optional S-bend can be utilized to further control of the ladder in stowage and in securing against movement in transit.
