A web handling apparatus for selectively positioning web rolls so that the web from each roll can be moved past a work station such as a splicing station comprising a frame and a suspension arm pivoted to the frame for swinging movement about a horizontal axis. The arm is movable between first and second positions on each side of a vertical plane containing the horizontal axis. A pair of roll supports are positioned on the arm such that when the arm is in the first position, one roll is supported so that the web thereof is aligned longitudinally with a work station, and when the arm is in the second position, the other roll is supported with the web longitudinally aligned with the work station whereby the web can be removed and moved horizontally past the work station.
