The equipment rack for attaching equipment to the roof of a vehicle includes a rack assembly that may be folded from a stowed position to an operational position. The rack assembly is attached to the vehicle by a hinge and a positional latch mechanism to selectively retain the rack assembly in the stowed position or the operational position. The user of the rack may selectively pivot the rack assembly from one position to another. The pivotal latch mechanism may retain the rack assembly in one, two, or more desired positions. Some versions of the latch mechanism utilize a shuttle member in one element that engages a socket in the other element. Other versions of the latch mechanism utilize surfaces on the rack assembly and the hinge interact to retain the rack assembly at desired positions.
