The company Linden Comansa was initially referred to as "Imausa." In the early parts of the 1960s, they began their activities as jig and tool makers. The company started out supplying mainly 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 advanced jigs, machine tools and various kinds of tools for both external and in-house applications. Additionally, the company specialized in manufacturing 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 rapidly become amongst the largest tourism magnets within the world. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for hospitals, schools and housing amongst various other things. The corporation became extremely busy, really fast.
Production
The very first cranes that were manufactured were simple, saddle-jib cranes. They were mainly suited to the building methods at 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.
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 that surpass the 900 metric ton capacity. There is currently design and manufacturing facilities that allow the production and development of even bigger and more incredible machines.
The unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane offers several specific benefits which has made it a popular equipment for Linden Comansa customers all around the globe. These global customers have purchased around 12,000 Linden Comansa cranes in addition to the roughly 6000 equipments made in Sweden by Linden-Alimak. These other cranes were manufactured prior to the acquisition of the world-wide selling and manufacturing rights of this specific modular system.
