A vehicle comprising: one or more wheels that allow movement of the vehicle from one location to another location; a frame mounted to the one or more wheels; a load bearing deck supported by the frame, the load bearing deck having a support surface for supporting a load thereon; and a gravity biased gate member rotatably coupled at the load bearing deck at an axis of rotation, the gravity biased gate member comprising a bottom portion below the axis of rotation that is heavier than a top portion above the axis of rotation such that a center of mass of the gravity biased gate member is offset from the axis of rotation, thereby biasing the gravity biased gate member into an extended configuration, wherein the axis of rotation extends transverse to a vehicle lengthwise direction and transverse to a travel direction of the vehicle.
