Linden Comansa has made more than 16,000 cranes since 1963. The very first Linden 8000 cranes were made by Linden-Alimak, during the year 1977 in Sweden. These models are considered to be some of the very first Flat-Top cranes used for construction purposes. The actual concept of Flat-Top did not change until the Linden Comansa company adopted this particular description in the early 1990s. The term Flat-Top crane is presently a universally excepted term.
The flat top crane design is still produced by the company. They also manufacture the LC 500 Series, which is an update from their popular NT Series. Comansa introduced the newest flat-top design and crane technology. This series features a variety of flat-top cranes consisting of 4 models. These flat-top cranes offer a maximum jib-end load of one ton and have lengths from 35 meters up to 50 meters.
Starting in the summer of 2008, the LC 1100 Series offers lots of innovations in comparison to the previous crane series that Linden Comansa offers. Some of the biggest changes are outlined below. These adaptations and improvements made to the design have greatly improved the comfort, capacity and efficiency of these machines, making them a really sought after piece of equipment. The technology has developed and the business takes pride in offering their customers a dependable, durable, quality machine which is really successful in lots of different environments.
The new LC 1100 series is easier erect, while keeping the Flat-Top system in place. This is due in part because the slewing and hoisting systems, along with the electric cabinets are pre-installed at the factory inside the cat head and then delivered in this fashion to the customer. Additionally, compared to the prior series, the lesser weight of the slewing structure makes the crane a lot easier to erect overall.
