A transporter comprising: a frame having: a left barrow support situated on the left side arm; a right barrow support situated on the right side arm; an axle carried by and between the front frame member and the left and right barrow supports; a right wheel rotatably supported on the axle; a left wheel rotatably supported on the axle; a left leg extending downwardly from the left side arm; a right leg extending downwardly from the right side arm; a barrow pivotally connected at a front underside thereof to and between a front end of the left barrow support and a front end of the right barrow support, the barrow having a lowered position wherein the underside of the barrow rests on the left and right barrow supports, and a raised position wherein the rear end of the barrow is elevated and tilted relative to the front end of the barrow; a left side biasing member connected to and between a left rear underside of the barrow and the left side arm of the frame, the left side biasing member providing an outward bias against the left rear underside of the barrow and the left side arm of the frame; a right side biasing member connected to and between a right rear underside of the barrow and the right side arm of the frame, the right side biasing member providing an outward bias against the right rear underside of the barrow and the right side arm of the frame; a retention member connected to and between the left barrow support and the right barrow support; and a releasable latch mounted to the rear underside of the barrow between where the left side biasing member connects to the left side arm of the frame and where the right side biasing member connects to the right side arm of the frame, the releasable latch capturing the retention member when the barrow is in the lowered position and free of the retention member when the barrow is in the raised position; the left and right side biasing members through their normally outward biasing against the left and right undersides of the barrow and the left and right side arms of the frame exerting a force against the left and right rear undersides of the barrow to automatically move the barrow from the lowered position to the raised position for dumping contents of the barrow when the releasable latch is free of the retention member.
