A dolly for moving a bendable roll of material such as a carpet and bending it to fit into a confined space, such as an elevator, includes a primary section capable of supporting a first portion of the roll and having ground-engaging wheels, and a secondary section pivotally connected to the primary section and capable of supporting a second portion of the roll. The secondary section is pivotally movable relative to the primary section from a lowered position, in which the secondary section provides a longitudinal extension of the primary section, to a raised position. A stop member at the first end of said primary section limits lengthwise movement of the roll along the primary section. A carpet roll resting on the dolly may be bent at a central area by lifting the secondary section from the lowered to the raised position and applying downwards force on the central area. The invention also provides a process for bending a roll using the dolly.
