Abstract
An insulated utility vehicle for supporting a utility worker during the performance of a task is provided. The utility vehicle comprises a base, a boom assembly, and a utility platform. The base includes a power source of electrical energy and an energy emission assembly for emitting light energy within an enclosed housing. The boom assembly presents a proximal end pivotably attached to the base. An insulated energy transmission assembly associated with the boom assembly for receives and transmits the emitted light energy from the energy emission assembly. The utility platform is secured to a distal end of the boom assembly. An energy reception assembly associated with the utility platform receives the transmitted light energy from the energy transmission assembly and converts at least a portion of the transmitted light energy into electrical energy, which can be utilized by the utility worker in the utility platform to power a device.
