It's getting ready to be lifted like this: https://www.123rf.com/photo_135982015_paper-mill-production-of-paper-rolls-for-the-printing-industry-paper-rolls-in-a-factory.html
The one thing that bothers me is the lack of chocks to keep it from rolling, but we can't really see in the black area, they could be there, or the floor could have an indentation or something
The photo is AI. There is a tag stating so, though it’s in French.

Chocks are always fashionable, (and one should always be fashionable), but operators sometimes don't bother during a quick move. And those rolls often get a flat spot due to the weight when you set them down so they are hard to get rolling on a level surface.
Even large rolls rolls of sheet steel don't roll easily on a level floor.
This one's real, but in the other one there's no crane nor rails for it, and there's no machine where it can go in like you see in the back of this one. I can't put my finger on it but I have definitely ai vibes looking at it. As other commenter has said the machinery around doesn't make much sense either.
