A wire coiling apparatus with extraction device for a coiled wire reel (B) with a coiler basket, comprises two concentrical circular rows of basket rods (1, 4) which stand vertically upon a base plate (3). The base plate (3) can be rotatably driven around a stationary vertical bearing. A reel lifting plate (8) is arranged above the base plate (3) between the circular rows of the basket rods (1, 4) which plate can be moved up and down by means of a central lifting rod (7) in the direction of the central axis of the coiler basket. The basket rods of the outer and/or inner circular row are supported in the base plate so as to be rotatable around their longitudinal axis and they can be arrested in at least two rotational positions. The profile of the basket rods is herein designed in such a manner, that the wire contact faces (AF.sub.1, AF.sub.2) of the basket rods facing the central axis of the coiler basket in these different rotational positions, have different spacings (d.sub.1, d.sub.2) from the rotational axis (D) of these rods.
