Linden Comansa was a company which started manufacturing tool and jig in the early 1960s. They went by the name "Imausa". The company started out 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 sophisticated jigs, machine tools and other tools for both external and in-house use. Moreover, the corporation specialized in making pre-fabricated steel structures especially for industrial buildings.
The company's next and most logical step was into the crane market. The Spanish tourist business exploded to immediately become one of the world's largest tourism magnets. This mass expansion of course brought a parallel demand for schools, housing and hospitals among other things. The corporation became very busy, very fast.
Production
The first cranes that were manufactured were simple, saddle-jib cranes. They were mainly suitable to the building methods at that specific 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 that exceed the 900 metric ton capacity. There is currently manufacturing and design facilities which allow the production and development of even larger and more incredible machines.
There are several specific benefits offered by the unique Linden 8000 Modular System crane, which made it a logical addition to the range Linden Comansa provided to clients all over the world. These clients all around the world 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 before the acquisition of the world-wide selling and manufacturing rights of this particular modular system.
