# Level-Access Car Racks The 'Dropracks' Makes it Easier to Mount Bicycles and Kayaks By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2022-02-04 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/car-racks References: [newatlas](https://newatlas.com/outdoors/dropracks-car-top-rack/) & [dropracks](https://www.dropracks.com/)  Car racks have long functioned as a popular and convenient way for people who own motor vehicles to go about transporting other toys ranging from [mountain bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonder-x-skarper) to kayaks and other outdoor gear, but the fact of the matter is that the act of lifting and placing these objects atop rooftop racks can be painful and inconvenient, which is precisely why Dropracks has introduced a better alternative. The Dropracks [car rack](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cargomate-bike-rack) is unique in that while it has a roof-mounted base, the rack can be moved down and pulled out, making for a more accessible and level playing field when it comes to attaching bikes and other toys to the rack. Once users have loaded their gear onto the rack, they can then quickly and easily move it back to the roof, allowing them to enjoy the benefits of rooftop rack design with the ease and accessibility of a mounting mechanism that's closer to ground.
