DAVENPORT, IOWA (March 30, 2022) — American Pickers, History Network’s American reality television series requested the help of family-owned towing business JBA Towing and Roadside Service to tow an antique 30,000-lb crane from Davenport, Iowa to Legends Motorcycle Museum in Springville, Utah.
Robbie Wolfe, brother of American Picker’s star Mike Wolfe, made the deal with JBA Towing after acquiring the 1971 American Self-Propelled Crane from two Davenport brothers — one of whom is an employee at Jack’s Brake and Alignment, JBA Towing’s repair shop.
The two brothers, Brent and Bryan Pollmiller, have always enjoyed collecting old work equipment and have an entire collection of antique cranes, vehicles, and trailers in their lot on Schmidt Road.
“When American Picker’s approached us about buying our crane, it was hard to want to sell because we’ve collected these for years. You could say that they’re kind of like our prize possessions. It’s such a thrill hunting and finding these antiques that it makes them hard to part with but knowing that this crane will be out of the elements and in good hands with the Pickers, at Legends Motor Co museum for many to enjoy makes this deal very rewarding,” said Brent Pollmiller.

The JBA tow truck is set to head out on its nineteen-hour journey to Springville, Utah early Thursday morning.

Our drivers have some of the best experience in the towing industry and are certified across all DOT license requirements. Our drivers always get excited when we dispatch them heavy-duty tows, and of course this one’s even more exciting because it’s for the American Pickers,” said Terry Weipert, owner of JBA Towing and Roadside Service.
