ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for handling large rolls of paper or spools of wire including a pair of outwardly extending arms, supported by air bearings, which straddle the roll or reel along the axis in a lower hemisphere. The roll is lifted upon inflation of the bearing and transported to its desired location. The parallel arms are adjustable toward and away from each other to accommodate rolls of varying diameters and may include stabilizing members for use with a reel in the event the arms are not of a sufficient length to extend beneath both flanges.
