I don't know if you've seen them, but SCRRF built two rather hefty dollies specifically for handling carpet rolls some time ago. Each one has 6 casters and was built with 2x4. They're about 3' long and 23" wide, with 2 long pieces on top and 3 crossbars underneath. 6 people can load carpet onto them, working one end at a time, and move the carpet to where it needs to go--I've seen a 6-7 person crew load carpet onto a pickup truck using just their combined strength and one of the dollies (after moving the other one out of the way).
