ABSTRACT:
Dollies and methods of using dollies can include a platform configured to hold items for transport, a support frame adjacent the platform, an actuation mechanism coupled to the support frame, and a moveable gate coupled to the support frame and configured to be moved from a closed position to an open position in response to the triggering of the actuation mechanism by force applied by a user. The moveable gate can comprise a rotatable shaft disposed at an end of the moveable gate and extending within an opening, wherein the moveable gate is configured to move with the rotatable shaft as the shaft rotates within the opening, and at least one counterweight coupled to the moveable gate and positioned to assist in the movement of the gate to the open position in response to the triggering of the actuation mechanism.
