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