A transport appliance (10) to be actuated manually serves for handling large-volume reels (11) of packaging material. This transport appliance (10) is equipped with a lifting mechanism (23) which in each case grasps a reel (11) with vertical positioning, specifically by means of carrier rods (24, 25) on the cylindrical circumferential surface. The lifting mechanism (23) is operated hydraulically by means of a vertical hydraulic cylinder (33, Fig 1) which is supplied with oil via a hydraulic pump (38) to be operated by hand, in order to raise the carrier rods (24, 25) together with the reel (11). The appliance (10) has a U-shaped wheeled under-carriage (19, 20) wider than a pallet (12, Fig 6) on which the rolls are originally supported. Preferably, the appliance (10) has rails (54, 55) which bear on the outer faces of the pallet and help align the appliance and pallet for removal of the roll. Preferably the pallet has roll supporting chocks spaced to allow stacking of the pallets. Preferably the front rollers (18) of the appliance are lockable in a straight ahead position.
