An assembly handles a roll used on a machine in a converting line. A storage assembly has a storage structure that extends above the machine that uses the roll. The storage assembly has a rack for supporting the roll in the storage structure. The rack has a roll mover configured to move horizontally between a stored position and an extended position. A transfer assembly has first and second supports on laterally opposite sides of the converting line. The first and second supports are adjacent to and extending above the machine. The transfer assembly has a lifter that is operatively connected to and supported by the first and second supports. The lifter is configured to move vertically relative to the first and second supports between the storage assembly and the machine. The transfer assembly is configured to transfer the roll between the rack in the storage structure and the machine.
