Reel Takeup / Rewind Machines

Reel Takeup Machines Built to Pull Their Weight

Graham International reel takeup machines wind wire and cable onto reels with the precision and force your operation demands. Whether you are rewinding cable from one reel to another, winding cable after production, or respooling from bulk, our takeup machines deliver dependable performance shift after shift. Every machine is designed, engineered, and manufactured in Michigan, USA — and backed by the strongest warranty in the wire handling equipment industry.

Our reel takeup machines handle reels from 18 inches to 96 inches in diameter and 34 to 54 inches wide maximum, with pulling capacities ranging from 2,500 to 40,000 pounds depending on the model. From the compact CJ2TM for portable hydraulic jack-lift operations to the fully automated Shaftless E125T20 self-propelled takeup machine with HMI controls and zero-turn maneuverability. We build the reel takeup machine that fits your floor, your wire, and your workload.

Every reel takeup machine ships with Variable Speed reel drives and wearproof axle saddles as standard equipment — not an optional upcharge. Our tension-holding brake motors maintain consistent pull throughout the winding process and hold tension when stopped, while adjustable floor lock brakes keep the machine secure during operation. Heavy-duty tubular steel frame construction, mounted safety foot switches, dedicated axle shaft and bushing storage, and easy-rolling wheels and casters are all standard across the lineup.

Available options include stop-to-length, power wire traverse, automatic wire traverse, measuring devices, paralleling wire guides, collapsible coilers, and 120-volt power outlets. If you need a wire takeup machine, respooling machine or automatic wire spooling system customized for your specific application, contact us — we have been building custom takeup solutions for over 40 years.
