Linden Comansa was a corporation that started making tool and jig during the early 1960s. They went by the name "Imausa". The company began supplying mainly the bigger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive industry
Around that same time, there was a strong industrial expansion in Spain. This period saw Imausa making more sophisticated machine tools, jigs and different kinds of tools for both in-house and external applications. The company also specialized in manufacturing pre-fabricated steel structures specially for industrial buildings.
The company's most logical and next step was into the crane market. The Spanish tourist industry exploded to rapidly become amongst the largest tourism magnets within the world. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for schools, housing and hospitals among other things. The company became very busy, really fast.
Production
The very first simple cranes produced were saddle-jib. These machines were best suitable for the particular building methods being used during that time. The very first crane model eventually grew into a variety of cranes with a capacity ranging from 12 to 42 metric-tons.
By the early 1970s, Linden Comansa saddle-jib cranes had already met the 200 metric-ton barrier. Linden Comansa has surpassed the standard and has continued to design and engineer cranes that exceed the 900 metric ton capacity. There is currently manufacturing and design facilities that allow the production and development of even larger and more incredible equipments.
There are some specific benefits offered by the unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane, which made it a logical addition to the range Linden Comansa provided to clients all around the world. These global clients have bought about 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 equipments manufactured by Linden-Alimak within Sweden. These other cranes were manufactured prior to the acquisition of the world-wide selling and manufacturing rights of this specific modular system.
