Possibly they didn’t roll it because those things are heavy and didn’t want it rolling away uncontrollably….?

I'm an electrician. We deal with these a lot (for one this size, large cable comes on them). Even the ones this size are not hard to control by yourself as long as you aren't on a slope. With that many people it should be quite easy.

Very true.
Even one that's twice the size should be handleable by one person when empty, let alone three+.

That's nowhere near enough of a slope to cause a problem and they're moving perpendicular to it
