Cinder Blocks Solve Everything
Many commercial buildings have a loading dock, which is where trucks are supposed to be able to back straight up and make deliveries easier. On the other hand, these bays are often located in narrow passageways or higher or lower than the truck itself.
When that occurs, they should use a lift. However, because the labor foreman was lazy to move the lift, he came up with this mess instead. Probably less work was required to balance the cinder blocks than it was to simply relocate the lift.
