i recently had to take a full-day operator course for the various kinds of man lifts and some of these photos were in the slide show. around here you have to have this operator's ticket if you're on a lift when the safety inspector comes around, and you have to re-certify every two years. there's even more mandatory training for people in the movie industry that attach lights and other things to the lifts, and that frequently have to "crib" the lifts with wooden supports on uneven ground.
humorously enough, on the morning we were taking the course there was a low-bed trailer sitting in the equipment supplier's yard with a scissor lift that had half fallen off the side.
you're right, it does look like the fork lift is using the lifting channels under the scissor.
