Linden Comansa was a corporation which started manufacturing tool and jig during the early 1960s. They went by the name "Imausa". The company started out supplying mainly the bigger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive industry
Around that same time, there was a strong industrial expansion within Spain. This period saw Imausa making more sophisticated machine tools, jigs and other tools for both external and in-house applications. The company even specialized in manufacturing pre-fabricated steel structures specially for industrial buildings.
Imausa's initiation into the crane market was an almost inevitable if not logical step. The Spanish tourist industry exploded to soon become among the globe's biggest tourism magnets. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for schools, housing and hospitals among other things. The company became really busy, really fast.
Production
The very first simple cranes manufactured were saddle-jib. These equipments were best suitable for the specific building methods being utilized during that time. The 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 engineer and design cranes which surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently manufacturing and design facilities that permit the production and development of even bigger and more spectacular machines.
The unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane offers some specific advantages that has made it a popular machinery for Linden Comansa clients all around the world. These global customers have bought around 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 machines manufactured by Linden-Alimak within Sweden. These other cranes were manufactured before the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this specific modular system.
