An apparatus for changing work rolls in a rolling mill. The apparatus includes a carriage assembly mounted on tracks for movement into and out of a roll housing through a housing window. The carriage assembly is adapted to receive and carry a roll package made up of a plurality of work rolls rotatably supported between bearing chocks. The tracks are so arranged that upon movement of the carriage assembly and roll package carried thereon into the housing, the carriage assembly is gradually lowered to transfer the roll package onto the housing, with the result that the roll package is solely supported by the housing when operatively contained therein.
