Linden Comansa was a company which started manufacturing jig and tool during the early parts of the 1960s. They went by the name "Imausa". The company started out supplying mostly the larger 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 advanced machine tools, jigs and various kinds of tools for both external and in-house use. Additionally, the corporation specialized in making pre-fabricated steel structures especially for industrial buildings.
The company's next and most logical step was into the crane market. The Spanish tourist business exploded to rapidly become among the largest tourism magnets in the world. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for housing, hospitals and schools among other things. The company became really busy, very fast.
Production
The very first cranes that were manufactured were saddle-jib, simple cranes. They were mostly suitable to the building methods during that particular time. The very first crane model eventually grew into a range 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 engineer and design cranes that surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently manufacturing and design facilities which allow the development and production of more spectacular and even larger equipments.
There are several specific advantages provided by the unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane, that made it a logical addition to the range Linden Comansa offered to clients all around the globe. These global customers have purchased about 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 machines manufactured by Linden-Alimak within Sweden. These other cranes were made before the acquisition of the world-wide selling and manufacturing rights of this particular modular system.
