1. A vehicle with an aerial work platform comprising:
a vehicle body that is able to travel;
a lifting and lowering apparatus that is provided in the vehicle body; and
a work platform that is provided on the lifting and lowering apparatus and allows an operator to board thereon,
wherein
the lifting and lowering apparatus has a plurality of mast members that are provided on the vehicle body so as to extend in an up-down direction and are allowed to extend and contract by being assembled in a telescopic form so as to be able to relatively move in the up-down direction,
the plurality of mast members include
a top mast member that is disposed on an outermost and uppermost side, and
a top-side intermediate mast member that is assembled in a telescopic form inside the top mast member so as to be able to relatively move in the up-down direction with respect to the top mast member,

the work platform is mounted on the top mast member extending laterally and outwardly,
the vehicle further comprising:
an extending and contraction apparatus which is configured to move the top mast member with respect to the top-side intermediate mast member in the up-down direction,
a load detection apparatus which is configured to detect a load applied to the top-side intermediate mast member from the top mast member in order to detect a mounted load on the work platform,
a plurality of sliders that allow the top mast member to relatively and smoothly move with respect to the top-side intermediate mast member in the up-down direction,
the plurality of sliders being disposed between the top mast member and the top-side intermediate mast member at positions that are different from each other in the up-down direction, and
the plurality of sliders being secured to the top mast member.
