Aerial work apparatus with laterally offset work platform

摘要

An aerial work apparatus comprising a mobile chassis (10) having a longitudinal centerline, a lift mechanism (20) such as a scissors lift having a lower end connected to the chassis (10) and an upper end which supports a work platform (30). The work platform (30) has a longitudinal centerline which is laterally spaced from and parallel to the longitudinal centerline of the chassis (10) such that the platform (30) is laterally offset relative to the chassis (10) and lift mechanism (20) for substantially stabilizing the apparatus when handling heavy loads positioned at one side of the platform (30).
