Abstract:

Cargo racks for use with all terrain vehicles (“ATV's”) are disclosed. The racks have a generally horizontal base and upwardly extending vertical side walls which, together with the base, form a cargo area. One or more of the upwardly extending vertical side walls are hinged at the base, and can open in an outward direction to form a lift gate. When such a lift gate is in a lowered position, support chains or arms are not required to ensure that the lift gate remains fully extended. When closed, the lift gate is latched in place to prevent inadvertent opening of the lift gate. One or more of the vertical walls, including the lift gate, can be completely removed from the rack as desired.
