Abstract
A device for handling and/or transporting work rolls and/or support rolls of a roll stand, by which the work rolls and/or support rolls can be brought from the roll stand into a roll workshop by a locomotive movable on a track. In order to be able to handle and transport different rolls using just one locomotive, without complicated coupling mechanisms, at least two tracks disposed at different heights are provided, on which a roll can be moved by the locomotive, and a lifting table is available, which is intended and suitable for raising or lowering the locomotive to one of the at least two different heights in order to bring it onto the respective track.

A device for handling and/or transporting work rolls and/or back-up rolls of a roll stand, with which the work rolls and/or the back-up rolls can be brought from the roll stand into a roll workshop by a locomotive, the device comprising:
- no more than one locomotive;
- at least two tracks arranged at different heights and on which a roll is pushed or pulled by the locomotive;
- and
- no more than one lifting table operatively arranged to raise and lower the locomotive to one of the at least two different heights to bring it onto a desired one of the tracks, wherein one of the tracks is arranged at a first height so that at least one work roll can be moved out of the roll stand and another one of the tracks is arranged at a second height so that at least one back-up roll can be moved out of the roll stand.
