Abstract: Apparatus for carrying a ladder on a vehicle. The ladder rack has a clamping assembly and a horizontal member hingedly connected with a pivoting mechanism. The clamping assembly includes an upper member with a pair of jaws that clamp the ladder to the clamping assembly. The jaws are selectively positionable along the vertical member. In one configuration a rung lock is attached to the clamping assembly and engages a rung of the ladder. The pivoting mechanism includes an axle and a locking member. Disengagement of the locking member allows the clamping assembly to swing or rotate about the axle relative to the horizontal member. In one embodiment, the horizontal member has a removable toolbox support that secures a toolbox or other object to the ladder rack.
