Linden Comansa was a corporation that began making tool and jig during the early 1960s. They went by the name "Imausa". The company began supplying mostly the larger sub-contractors to the then booming automotive business
Around that same time, there was a strong industrial expansion within Spain. This period saw Imausa making more advanced jigs, machine tools and other tools for both in-house and external use. Additionally, the company 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 industry exploded to soon become amongst the globe's largest tourism magnets. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for schools, housing and hospitals amongst other things. The company became really busy, really fast.
Production
The very first simple cranes produced were saddle-jib. These machinery were best suitable for the specific building methods being used at that 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 which surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is currently design and manufacturing facilities which allow the development and production of even larger and more incredible 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 provided to customers all over the globe. These global clients 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 prior to the acquisition of the world-wide manufacturing and selling rights of this particular modular system.
