A device for lifting and manipulating a roll of material includes a wheeled frame, having a pair of forwardly extending, spaced-apart legs, configured to straddle a palette. A cross bar is disposed atop and extends between the legs, and has an elevation sufficient to pass over the palette. A single column is laterally moveably disposed atop the cross bar, and a roll lifting and manipulating mechanism is attached to the column. The roll lifting and manipulating mechanism is configured to engage a vertically oriented hollow cylindrical core of the roll of material, lift the roll, and rotate the roll to a position with the core substantially horizontal.
