The invention relates to a lift system to selectively raise and lower an interchangeable load carrier, such as a bike rack, luggage rack, ski rack, etc., to and from the roof of a vehicle to the ground. The lift system is capable of creating a clearance, either vertically or horizontally, between the roof of a vehicle and the load carrier. As a result, the load carrier can be lowered and raised without hitting the vehicle. The lift system may also be provided with a series of actuators that are configured for synchronized rotation in order to keep the load carrier in a constant orientation as it is raised and lowered to and from the vehicle.
