A continuous take-up apparatus for wire having upright reel supporting frames rigidly mounted on a base. A sheave is provided above the take-up reels to guide the wire to one of the reels. A plurality of upwardly extending rods are provided and are movable between the reels axially thereof so as to shift the wire beyond one ends of the reels when said one reel has become almost full of the wire. Discs are rotatably mounted adjacent said one ends of the reels. The discs have claws which engage the thus shifted wire and arrest it on the discs whereby the wire is cut between the claws. The cut end of the wire arrested on the disc associated with the other empty reel causes a further continuous length of the wire to be wound up on the empty reel for thereby completing transfer of the wire from the full reel to the empty one.
