Zusammenfassung:	An apparatus (10) for replacing a roll of material with a replacement roll (74) of material comprises a loading station (34) and multiple feed stations (36, 38, 40, 42) downstream of the loading station (34). Each station (34, 36, 38, 40, 42) comprises two legs (46, 48) and a motorized drive assembly (50) extending between the legs (46, 48). The drive assembly (50) rotates two sprockets (140, 136) and an endless chain (138) surrounding the sprockets (140, 136) inside each of the legs (46, 48) at a station to raise or lower carriages (70). A roll support (66, 100, 108, 116, 124) extends between the carriages (70) at each station (34, 36, 38, 40, 42).
