Abstract
The aerial work platform includes a support frame, wheels rotatably attached to the support frame, and an electric motor rotatably driving at least one of the wheels. A boom having a first end is pivotably mounted to the support frame, and a fluid motor raises and lowers the boom with respect to the support frame. A work platform is supported by a second end of the boom. A battery pack supplies power to the electric motor. A first support structure, for supporting an auxiliary power plant that supplements power supplied by said battery pack, removably attaches to the support frame.
