Linden Comansa was a corporation that 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 in Spain during that same time. This period saw Imausa making more advanced jigs, machine tools and different kinds of tools for both in-house and external use. The company also specialized in making pre-fabricated steel structures particularly for industrial buildings.
The company's next and most logical step was into the crane market. The Spanish tourist business exploded to rapidly become one of the largest tourism magnets within the globe. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for hospitals, schools and housing among various other things. The company became really busy, really fast.
Production
The first simple cranes made were saddle-jib. These equipments were best suitable for the particular building methods being used at that time. The 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 design and engineer cranes which exceed the 900 metric ton capacity. There is presently design and manufacturing facilities which permit the production and development of more spectacular and even bigger machines.
The unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane offers some specific advantages which has made it a popular equipment for Linden Comansa customers all over the globe. These global clients have bought roughly 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the approximately 6000 machines manufactured within Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These other cranes were manufactured before the acquisition of the world-wide selling and manufacturing rights of this particular modular system.
