Joy Take-ups

Improper tensions, either high or low, can severely damage the belt and other key components of your conveyor system. Joy Global offers a comprehensive range of take-up options, including winches and hydraulic take-ups, designed for your specific application.

Winch options

All-electric constant tension winch

Our all-electric constant tension winch provides a revolutionary alternative to traditional take-up designs that use sheaves and hydraulic power systems. With a belt capacity ranging from 40’ to 1500’ and line pull ranging from 25,000# to 125,000#, the Joy electric constant tension winch is capable of providing belt tensioning requirements on lengthy, high-tension applications.
