I see no reason why not.  Remember, most UPS are designed to 
run capacitive loads (PC's) not inductive loads.  Since I don't 
know how they are designed, I don't know if that would be a 
problem.  Normal loads are on the order of 2-300 watts, which 
may or may not be enough for some loads.  A 7.25" saw for example, 
is typically nearly 1000 watts.  Sure, you could get a bigger UPS, 
but it would cost more.

Many of the uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) work on battery voltages 
in
the 24-48 volt range. I have seen UPS units which come in 2 separate units,
1 case houses the controller, and the other houses the batteries. Wouldn't
you be able to just change the battery plug on the controller to plug into
the Elec-Trak PTO outlet?
