There is described a rack system for displacing a ladder between a loading/unloading position and a stored position respectively on a side and on a rooftop of the vehicle. The ladder rack system comprises a handle lever by which a user applies an input angular movement. A gear assembly is connected to the handle lever and comprises gears to multiply the input angular movement into an output angular movement greater than the input angular movement. A linking member is pivotably connected to the gear assembly and is for undergoing and transmitting the output angular movement. A sliding arm assembly is to receive the output angular movement from the linking member, thereby being pivoted between the loading/unloading position in which the sliding arm assembly extends substantially vertically on the side of the vehicle and the stored position in which the sliding arm assembly extends substantially parallel to the rooftop.
